Ha, not if they are illegal there, otherwise, I totally would be up for it. Maybe you should move out of state?

People in my state don't need a license for many venomous species.

You could always empty the tank and invert it so that it sits on it's end and is a vertical. You could buy a screen top (or make one) and attach it to the front. That is how I keep my stick insects.

Whoops! I think I don't have prasina...I think I have nasuta. Sorry; still new to these! :o Laurie, yes, I love those corn plants. I like using them in large cham cages too because they serve as a great spot to drink from. They also add a whole lot of dimension to a set up.

Thanks! I have waited about a year and a half to get them...I am finally prepared to give them a go. They are apparently never CBB and are ovoviviparous. Let's fix that!

That looks like it would be a nice tank for some type of small community fish (danios? guppies?) and a newt of some sort. Honestly, maybe you should invest in a better suited, vertically aligned glass enclosure without a massive drowning risk for your frog. For a temporary fix on the escaping...

Meet my two Asian vine snakes! These guys are so cool- they are basically kept the same way that chameleons are. They need pretty high humidity, drink dew, need live plants and airflow, and a basking spot of about 90. They eat house geckos and anoles and I will be working on setting up a...

This depends on the person. I also know several people who had their own dorm rooms and tons of space. It might be worth the extra expense.

Fine for panthers, but watch them to make sure they don't hurt themselves- they don't seem to understand that walking up and biting a snail is better than trying to shoot it with the tongue (they are slippery and don't stick)

PM sent. Anyone else interested? I have quite a few right now.

JoJackson, I pretty much totally agree with your last big post. I still think that it is important to catch or destroy that gecko, though, because they are very adaptive animals and ARE able to reproduce in Florida. Less invasive species= better for natives and the ecosystems they inhabit.

If you are going to have tons of people in and out, that would stress a cham out anyway. Are you sure you have a stable enough environment for one without stressful visuals? Also, a free range, if properly done, would be great. You just have to create natural barriers and give the cham lots...

Actually, I have read that they hang out in pretty particular spots in the wild but may slowly roam over time, especially when looking for a mate. Moving them to a new cage would totally be stressful because they had no control over it and were used to how it was set up. It seems to take them...

Why not set up a free range so that no one would even think to look at the plant? Get a big ficus or schefflera. You could also make a section of wall that has trellis on it (a corner with it on both walls would be good) and string pothos all over it. Screw some branches in and make it...

Honestly....better to ask forgiveness than permission. I think that you should do some sleuthing and ask people who live there now (not an administrator or anyone high up at the college, but a student in the dorms) if small caged animals are allowed. Be totally non committal about it- don't...

This depends on where you live. You will have to look up local laws and do your research before obtaining any animal, especially a "hot" one. I personally don't need a permit to keep my snakes, and yes, it is probably because they couldn't become feral here and are very mild in toxicity.

I play music on low volume and I shift the balance all to the front. Avoid anything with a lot of bass. AC is fine, just keep it low and on the front. Don't let it hit the chams and make sure your temps stay in good parameter (about 75 would be good)

Nope, we don't jerk the car around. Do you? If they are covered and it is dark, they stay put and go to sleep. I have never had any fall while being transported. I forgot to add that you can use pop up cages as well- just stick in a plant and make sure it is secure and you are ready to...

Honestly, I usually try to move my guys with their full cages intact and spill-proofed. I even buckle them in with the seatbelts and then cover the cages with a towel or blanket. This works well if you have room in the car and only a few chams (I only had my two Jackson's when I moved to this...

Oh I know! I do make quite an effort to educate people and I often do presentations with my various animals at local universities. Mostly I talk about the pet trade and WC animals along with invasive species. This is usually to environmental sciences glass and conservation biology. I would...
