Thanks Everyone! I am now in San Diego. I am staying in Old town for a few days and then moving by the bay. My first flight ever went very well. I was scared at first, but it was all good. It is BEAUTIFUL here! I don't ever want to leave. We drove all over sight seeing and drove over the...
I am leaving for San Diego this Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we will be at the Marine Corps base because my husbands brother is graduating from basics so we decided to go out there and see him. We are staying until Monday, so we have all day Saturday and Sunday to do whatever we want. Is their...
I feed my chams medium crickets. They are fairly large, they just lack the wing, or whatever makes them chirp. I also heard that the medium crickets are healthier, because their is more meat (using a body weight ratio) and it's exoskeleton isn't as hard, so it is easier to digest. But really I...
Well if that is truely the case, then I agree it is sad. But all this happens in nature, it is part a big circle. I obviously didn't get any pleasure out of it. I hope a person didn't just do it for the shoot, but I guess I wouldn't put it past some people.
I guess it is sad, but if you ask me the little guy had it coming. Its is like when a squirrel is sitting on a branch teasing a dog thinking it can't reach it...and then *Snatch* the dog jumps up and grabs it...sad...a little...but he defiantly had it coming :) Squirrels do it to my moms dogs...
I believe it is a Bradypodion pumilum or a Cape Dwarf Chameleon. Not positive. The guy on the video called it an South African Dwarf Chameleon which puts it in the Bradypodion family, but then he also said something about being cold in the Cape...so I put 2 and 2 together. But someone will...
I have a large shoebox that I put some fake vines in. For car rides I don't want them to be able to move around too much, and feel more secure. I have made many trips to the vet and my cottage this way.
You don't want my advice on names...my male is Dizzle (Dizzy) and my female is Shizzle (Shizzy)...whenever I tell people that they say "God I hope you never have children" LOl...I get a kick out of it. My first chameleon was a Jacksons...guess what I named him? yup you guessed it...Jack...how...
Hey all, just thought I would let you know the excitement for today. I woke up and did the bi-daily chameleon routine. I looked over my 4 year old male Sambava and noticed a very small bump on his bottom lip, the tip, not the side. So being a dental hygienist and reading this forum throughly led...
Whatever he is, he was amazing, and I am sure the babies will be too! That is a very cool name, I shall have to listen to some Parang music, sounds interesting!
Hey Kent! Was Parang a Sambava? His eyes look exactly like my males when he is in the "mood". He was a beautiful chameleon! Where did his name originate from?
Actually Kent, don't give me to much credit, I believe you were the one who informed me about them. I had already killed at least 8 ficus and a couple hibiscus at that point :-)
pothos are very hardy. I keep one in my cages for humidity, but they aren't very practical chameleon plant IMHO because they can't really be climbed on because they don't have branches. My favorite plant is the schefflera. I bought 2 from home depot at the beginning of the summer and they are...
I have a habba mister you can have for free if you feel like paying shipping...that is how bad the thing is. It clogged on me within a couple days and then it more or less spits water. IMHO you would be better off spending 90 or so dollars more and getting a herp mist or similar...just my 2...
I know this doesn't quite pertain to the thread, but my dizzle (Sambava) is pictured in Connie's Chameleons care book...although it was funny..I think his caption went something like "make sure to check your chameleon over for abnormalities" or something to that extent...I was like hey she...
My first chameleon was a jacksons and I am almost 100% certain that their horns don't shed. Actually if I am thinking correct, they keep growing, which is why it almost looks like tree-trunk rings on their horns. Please correct me if I am wrong...but that is my understanding :)
