    I'm pretty sure she was sold to someone at the NARBC Arlington. I think I saw her on saturday.

    Gathering eggs

    Do you know what temps to keep the eggs at? Unfortunately I don't know anything about F. Lateralis so I don't know much about their eggs.

    Gathering eggs

    Sounds about right to me. Make sure you are prepared for the eggs (need hatchrite / perlite / or some other substrate to use for them)

    Apples

    Well I've never fed an apple to my veiled, but I'm sure using a knife to peel the skin off or a potatoe peeler would work. I feed my veiled orange pieces and he loves them

    That's why I thought this topic should be discussed

    Intelligent discussion about line / in-breeding

    Of course, everything in the wild is random and more than likely it happens every now and then. What I'm talking about is deliberate in-breeding or line breeding to bring out certain traits. In the wild they are just trying to reproduce so their specie doesn't die off.

    Intelligent discussion about line / in-breeding

    This is exactly how I feel on the subject Brad. I think it is basically up to the breeder to be ethical. I think it is kind of similar to how the "ethical breeders" have respect for the animals, meaning that they don't over breed the animal and use them as an egg sac. An "unethical breeder"...

    Intelligent discussion about line / in-breeding

    Just wondering, when do you think it becomes unethical? I completely agree that it should be kept with in common ethics as all breeding practices should be. But technically 1 generation of inbreeding could weaken a genetic line and produce a few deformities. However it could also just slowly...

    Pet shop take over!

    Thats awesome that the store wants to make everything ideal for the chameleons. However, I'm not sure I would be inquiring if the buyer is capable of owning a chameleon, because if you make them fill out a form and deny them because they don't answer the questions properly the chameleon hobby...

    Intelligent discussion about line / in-breeding

    Well what brings this up for me is that today at the Dallas/Ft Worth NARBC I got to see a show put on by Ron Tremper about the Leopard Geckos. And basically what he was saying about all the leopard gecko morphs that were created was that when an offspring was produced that made something that he...

    Intelligent discussion about line / in-breeding

    First of all I know there is a lot of controversy in this and how it can be strung out to a very heated debate. I would like to keep this discussion on the topic of breeding and not calling it incest etc. etc. etc. So if you don't know much about the subject I'd prefer you not put in a comment...

    Anyone going to NARBC in Arlington Texas?

    We only got there for the last hour today, but Amanda picked up an awesome purple spotted satanic leaf tailed gecko. Right now we are busy dealing with our hotel being over booked and them transfering us to a new one so we can't goto the auction :-( We are going to the see the speakers...

    Blue Veiled at Chicago Reptile Show

    The same guy is selling a trio that are supposedly 100% het for the blue for $2500 at the dallas/ft worth narbc. It would be really cool to get into that line, but really expensive lol

    Can Chameleons Hear?

    I wonder if the inner ear is what causes the babies in the wild to all hatch out around the same time.

    male/female sharing enclosure?

    The reason you don't want them to see each other is because the male will keep showing off towards the female and if the female isn't receptive she will stress out trying to get away from him. The reason you don't want them in the same cage together is because generally the female will be...

    Where to buy locusts in the US?

    When we caught grasshoppers for fishing we threw a cast net (bought for catching minows) into random fields and always caught a lot.
