East Bay, Cali Currently keeping: 0.1 rudis

Hello, First off welcome to the forum. It sounds like your little cham is set-up perfectly, Rudis like temps between 68-82, at least in my opinion. I take mine out to bask in the morning and it really enjoys basking for 20-30 minutes. In an artificial envirment, it's really hard to recreate...

I have a 150 watt metal halide light, with bulb, ballast everything. I am asking 75 plus shipping, or may do trades for feeders/small montane chams. Please e-mail me at [email protected] or pm if you are intrested.

Are you ordering them all at once? Danny

Trace, Yeah you are right I really like the montane species, I am seriously considering selling off most of my gecko collection to make room for more chams. I am more intrested in the smaller species and though fisheri aren't the biggest of chams, they do need more room than the smaller ones...

FLchams has some adults and subbie I think right now. I have been very happy with my last 2 purchases from Mike and both were followed up with great customer service. Danny

Jim, I didn't intend for it to come off firey or aggresive. Danny

Jim, I do think that chameleons are trying to fix some mineral inbalance. Pica in humans, or the eating of non-food substance is linked to multiple things but predominately pregnancy and iron-defiency. Lots of animals from chimps to macaws will eat dirt from certain areas to get the minerals...

centipede or millipede? Millipede are harmless detrivores, they eat decaying plant, feces and other organic matter. Unless it's a centipede over 2+" its totally harmless too. Danny

Trace thanks for the response you covered every question I could think of. Now for the next question after I get the babies stable and growing which species do I get next, fuellborni, ellioti, Mt. Merus, bitans, or hoenhlli? Danny

Yes, both of them are gravid. She actually ate that entire moth I was really suprised. Danny

I finally figured out the name for my new rudis, piglet. This photo show why, she ate a huge moth out of my hand while she was basking. http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i286/Greenstar56/?action=view&current=Piglet.jpg Enjoy Danny

Forgot the pictures http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i286/Greenstar56/?action=view&current=Prego1.jpg http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i286/Greenstar56/?action=view&current=Prego2.jpg Danny

So i have a very pregant rudis and she hasn't eaten, to my knowledge, since i got her yesterday. I know it is nothing to really worry about, but the other one is eating like mad. I took a few pictures and I was wonder how long it is going to be till she gives birth? Will she stop eating before...

Well you never know, he could have unpacked it and the chameleon made an untimely leap and gone down nose first on the floor. That would explain the nose rub though it definitely is not what I consider DOA. Danny

Well just a thought. I got my chams today in the mail, there is a definite toe smudge on the bottom of the box and an indent. One of the chams recieved a small gash on it's side somehow even though it was packed very well and securely in a deli cup. You never know which crackhead on the...

Well, the one with wound seems to be doing just fine. I'll get some pics up after dinner but she is eating like a pig. Everything that I have put in there she has munched including taking a spider off my finger. I put on a little neosporene over the wound and let it be, it's got a thin almost...

Hey, So I just got my first true chameleons (I have 1.3 brevicaudatus & 1.2 temporalis), 2 gravid female rudis's from FLcham. I just got them set-up in their cage and gave them a nice 15 minute long mist. Only the more gravid came out and drank while the lesser one moved up the tree stuck her...

Cicadas are super high in protien and make a great feeder.

Just another thought some chameleons, for this example Trace's ellioti won't touch silkworms. It maybe because in there natural habit white, soft bodied catepillars are toxic and no good to eat. I am sure others can attest to there chams having an adverse reaction when offered a certain type of...
