If you feel that you have enough experience and time I would say go for it. There are a few things you should expect of them though.
1. They will be dehydrated and will probably need to be misted constantly for the first few days.
2. They will probably have parasites so you will need to either...
I don't understand why everyone is so against the translucent or hypomelanistic veileds. The ball python hobby has become famous due to the morphs that were genetic "defects"....
Yes, they may be defects in the wild because they inhibit their ability to hide and they will have a shorter...
That is a jacksonii jacksonii. There are 3 sub species of jacksons. Most of what you see are jacksonii xanth.
The jacksonii jacksonii and jacksonii merumontana are prettier in my opinion, but they are very rare. I'm not sure on their export quotas (or if they are even exportable), but I'm...
We had a few gravid females imported to us and they require a lot of care. What does she look like? She should be starting to show eggs (would look like a bag of marbles). You can also get a vet to xray to make sure.
I would put a laying bin in there for her that you can hide with plenty of...
I like the enclosure. As already stated, many different species have different requirements and unless you have direct knowledge of that species please don't give advice as it may be wrong...
I'm not trying to steal the thread's original question, but how do you drain the water from the...
The reason it was closed (and why this one will be closed soon) is because this forum is not for discussing other companies / breeders. When that is allowed there is a certain liability that the forum owner must take and if the company in question is bashed in anyway they can sue the owner of...
That's really awesome to hear that you got the grant from Petco Foundation! I know it seems hard now, but it seems like ChamEO will become one of the top places for Chameleons in need. I know every time I see a sick chameleon in your area I refer them to you.
Congratulations on everything! And...
Inside a glass tank I would definitely lower the temps. The basking spot should be in the mid 80's not the entire tank. He will need a place to cool off, and since it's a glass tank there wont be much ventilation so it will be more of a solid temp as opposed to the screened in enclosures that...
Congratulations! Maybe by the time you have babies I will finally be ready for a melleri. I have wanted one for so long we just dont have the room to build a free range at the moment, but I really love them.
I should be moving to a new house after the summer so hopefully I will be able to get...
They don't need them once a month, but there are people that say it's not a bad idea to boost calcium a bit. I would say 99% of chameleon keepers don't feed their chameleons pinky's and have great success without feeding them. I personally have never used a pinky and probably wont because I...
