Yes, they are dermestid larvae. These beetles are beneficial in the sense that they will eat dead feeders, keeping the colony clean. They are also used in taxidermy to deflesh animal skeletons while keeping ligaments intact. It is important to contain them, since they will eat almost anything...

These are xantholophus - I still have 2 available.

I used to keep several Nepenthes and think that the smaller varieties could probably work (I wonder if small chams could get out of a pitcher if they fell in it?). That said, I recall that most Nepenthes have sweet exhudates on their leaves and stems, likely to attract prey insects. I wonder if...

There are a couple of articles on lighting for chameleons on Chameleon News, especially the more recent one may interest you: http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulWeldon.html Alzo, you can find several research papers on the topic simply by searching "chameleon" and "light" in Google Scholar. Not...

Hi, like Carol I don't see anything wrong with your chameleon. If he keeps eating, the fact that he does not want to be hand fed is not a problem. Mine will accept food from me every so often, but some times they simply will not eat until I let the prey loose in the cage. I think the excrement...

Agree 100%!

They have different requirements but they are both fairly easy to keep. You need to research the specific needs of a species no matter what, so if cost is an important factor in making your decision I would go with a Jackson's. The problem of over supplementation is easily overcome by gutloading...

I agree with Chameleonman - each cham has a different personality. Even within the same species you can see a lot of variation. Jackson's do require smaller enclosures than panthers and in my experience, kids are more drawn to them because of the horns. That said, they will never be as...

I have kept a number of species over the years and based on my personal experience and your needs I would definitely not get a veiled. Adult individuals and males in particular may be too aggressive for your educational needs. Panthers are so gorgeous that it is hard not to get them, Jackson's...

Ants are not good feeders - they contain formic acid, which makes them not really palatable!

Glad to hear this is over and the appeal was ruled in your favor!

Yes, Jackson's will be fine with temps in higher 70s

Hi, these are a couple of pictures of my Kammer BB ambilobe when he was about 6 months old. I hope they help.

Thanks, Tony - I really appreciate your offer. I will put together a list of questions and get in touch!

Really sorry to hear about your chameleon. When you will get a new one, you know you will be able to find help here!

I just love them and I am so happy to finally have one! I will post more pictures as he grows up - he has already shed once!

It is unfortunate that stores give out improper information, but it is the owner's responsibility to do their own research and do what is best for their animal....

I use exclusively oranges - not only are they a good source of water, they contain vitamins and minerals too.

He is CB (or at least CH) - got him from First Choice Reptiles. I had been wanting one for so long that when I found out that some were available I simply could not resist! Thanks for the offer, I am sure I will PM you sooner rather than later!

I apologize for the picture links not working... they should be working now!
