I think both Brad and AlexF make some good points...great to see some ideas about this. After reading the new comments and pondering some more...I think until maybe membership becomes higher that the contest winners should just be selected independently by a panel of judges (5 seems like a good...

Fishman, Hi...welcome to the forums. Although I do not have as much experience with chams as most of the other members here...I would have to agree with what the others have said here and from what I have read...that the veiled is probably the easiest of the chams to keep. I have had a M/F...

Yes, that seems fair...I have some other chams...but since I already just won a prize I would rather let someone else have a chance to win. I am still suprised that others (e.g. I know AlexF has a beautiful new Ambanja from the pictures he has posted in his gallery)... are not submitting any...

I just wanted to say that I think the photo contest is a great idea and hopefully more contestants will participate as the forums become more popular (I really think Brad is doing a spectacular job with this site and it has potential to become one of the best cham forums on the net). I just...

Great...also see your new pic you posted...should be fun watching him grow up. Maybe the mother is the daughter of Glorfindel?...he should turn out with some interesting blues I am guessing...the Kammers sure seem to know what they are doing

Hi Lele, It is great to see you here! Your article in the Chameleon E-zine was very helpful to me (and probably a lot of people trying to raise silkies). I don't think I could have reproduced my silkies without the help of some of your older posts and the article (still have some eggs stored...

Chris...thanks for your input...so far she has not seemed to have any problems digesting the bird as far as I can tell...have not seen any remnants of the beak or feet...maybe some material that may have been feathers but most completely digested...it has been over a week but I am guessing she...

very nice pic...do you have any more pics of him?

[Welcome to the forums Tino] Yes...Brad...I have also read about chams eating other reptiles, small mammals, and birds in the wild. I know some people who even feed their chams pinkies as treats. I do not know how well adapted the digestive system of chameleons is to this type of prey item...

Well...I got my fruitfly cultures yesterday (a couple melanogaster + a black hydei and a golden hydei) and the little ones certainly seem to prefer the fruit flies to pinheads (...they just don't seem to be interested which is fine by me because I don't like keeping crickets). I have only tried...

Gulp...Well...the hummingbird is now gone...all hummingbirds beware!

...Mango did not waste much time swallowing the hummingbird after she zapped it in mid-hover

Mango the Mad Muncher decides to eat a pretty large hummingbird that made the mistake of hovering around her Hibiscus tree...I don't know how she got it down but by the time I got my camera out it was already almost completely swallowed

A pair of 1 day neonates attempting to get some sleep (they are actually both males)...these guys are so cute as babies...but will eventually transform into hulking "Mungs" in no time ("Mung" is the name of their daddy)

Mung did not enjoy being disturbed during his sleep by my flash [that is an umbrella plant or Schefflera actinophylla in the picture...on some lists it is listed as safe on many though it is listed as "toxic" due to oxalates...]

This is my adult male veiled "Mung" sleeping outside at night...

Size comparison of 1 day neonate and male adult veiled (14 months)...most of this extraordinary growth occurs during the first 6-9 months! [Don't try this near a hungry veiled! they will eat small reptiles and their own young if given the chance]

0 day Newborn veiled cham "catchin' some rays"

Hi Chamgirl and Lady Cham, Thanks for viewing my pictures (I have more but seems like 90% of all the pictures I take always come out blurry and unviewable lol...will try to get some more). I have had 10/11 (well out of the eggs I knew were probably still viable... as I lost many a few...

Brad, Thanks for your reply...and the link (I actually read the article last year...should have reread it again sooner and prepared some cultures ahead of time). It looks like I will probably try starting with a combination of Black Hydei and melanogaster (found some iffy evidence they may be...
