When I care for my nocturnal species, I like to use an LED powered headlamp. It keeps my hands free and shows me exactly what I want to see. Maybe you could get one and put a blue or red film over it as to not disturb the animals? It would let you observe them really well. I'm in the...

Neither the cats, dogs, nor rogue veileds would get those eggs, much less find them, even. Guys, invasive species are a huge deal in so many ways. The fact that there are irresponsible people out there who let their former pets just go (or if they escaped and weren't found which happens...

Vine snakes could work- their care is really similar to a cham's, actually. Good luck finding one, though...they are never CBB (but hopefully I can work on that with my new pair once they acclimate) and really carry some interesting ailments as WC. They also dine exclusively on house geckos or...

IF they can catch him. It is no light task. If he can't be caught, it is harsh, but he should be destroyed for the sake of the everglades. ...but yes, do want! I love my Tokays. You would do way better finding a local keeper though.

Oh trust me, I know exactly what you mean! Reptiles in general are such amazing creatures and are so overlooked. I am very fond of them as well, but I think you all knew that :o I am seconding that you should get a big handsome strutting male veiled. They can have the funniest...

I *almost* got a red eye at the show, but decided I wasn't quite ready. Maybe someday! How are your pygs, Amanda? I just picked up a trio and I haven't had a pygmy in a year and a half.

Ugh, I wish you were in the US. I would GIVE you one of my baby veileds. You obviously cared for Lily a great deal and I always liked peeking at your posts. Good luck and keep us updated!

spiderpharm.com has housefly pupae for awesome prices and chams go bonkers for them. Just keep them in the fridge until you want some to hatch out.

...I also might be going to the Daytona show :o It is the farthest spot in the country from me, barring Hawaii and Alaska (and they are actually probably closer)

I agree. The Tokay should be caught. Please don't kill it if at all possible, but it can't remain there and if the only way to prevent it from escaping is to destroy it, so be it. You could probably use a live trap for small animals and bait it with food and put it near the gecko. Try to...

I agree with this the most, but I see the sides you all are saying. It is a personal decision and I commend anyone who takes on a sick cham from a pet store, but I will always have to say that it is a double edged action that is rewarding the people who keep the animals inadequately and cause...

Hi there, it was me you must have spoken to (dreadlocks?) I would love to see photos of your new cham once he is settled in- which did you get? =)

Good show! I picked up 1.2 brevs and 1.1 Asian vine snakes. Pics may come soon!

I use Miner-All Indoor formula when I dust with D3. I spoke to the people who run Sticky Tongue Farms at the show today and they gave me a free can of Vit-All. I had always thought it was a vitamin dust, but apparently it is meant as a gutload :confused: I will do more reading on it.

....buttered toast? I have never seen a cham with those colors.

I don't use slugs or aquatic snails. I use a type of invasive brown snail (European garden snail, I think).

Why, do you give birth to females?? Oh crap, I have been doing it wrong this whole time.... :(

Yes, there will be lots of feeders :) Come say "hi" at the booth, everyone!

They won't infest anything other than the roaches...I haven't even noticed them on my dubia and the bins are connected and wooden. Fleas on a dog would not be comparable to mites on a roach if the mites are in fact symbiotic and somehow benefit the roach. Fleas are simply parasites; if the...

I acquired a large hisser colony from a friend of mine and they have the mites as well. I have had the (robust) colony for many months now and haven't had a problem. When I first saw the mites, I freaked out and looked for ways to get rid of them. The one thing I found that I would have used...
