his basking spot shoudl be higher, but the rest of the cage should be fine as is. The important thing is to allow them to regulate their temps - hot to cool. I'd cut back on the vitamin A now that he's had some - you run the risk of overdosing them with vitamin A. Especially the oil. It is...

How much was he eating before hand? Often hungerstrikes are a result of over feeding.

it's exponential - every female you kill as a nympth means hundreds less in 6 months or so. Feed off just one hatching of nympths (say 30 of them), and you deprive your colony of 450 or more roaches in less than a year. Each group will be about half female, which in less than a year, will...

I wasn't trying to justify the killing of female chameleons as a rule. It is, essentially, the only way to "be sure" that you are not going to create, ah, genetic problems, in established(or yet-to-be established) bloodlines. The quandary is posed over and over: "what are you going to DO...

Ardi, from the same clutch, is 20" and at 270grams

In a natural situation, if such a pairing were to occur, nature would take care of things. A higher incedence of genetic problems would result in a higher percentage of deaths. In time, it is righted. If it's healthy, it has a shot, dueling banjos or not. If it was done over and over...

Well, I cull my veileds every time I need to. In a clutch, there are sometimes animals that are clearly weaker. I allow them to die - as in, I never give them any special treatment that might otherwise save them. Too many weak animals make it to breed in captivity. If you are faced with...

The next time I want to get a lot of attention in a thread, I'll title it "justification of cross-breeding panther locales". This is a major reason I avoid the things. I personally, see a lot of good reasons to cross them - interesting, perhaps superior color-combinations may result. There...

get a better pic - just make sure it's in focus. Also - are his knees a bit dark too? Usually something like that is a burn. They are so common. USUALLY, it's the dorsal crest just behind the head, and the knees.

I'm pretty sure that one is current. Nursing school can't be too bad. I took microbiology this past semester, and all the nursing students were stressing out like crazy over it. It was easy for me. I got the highest grade in class. Anatomy will be easier. I have a lot of the classwork...

Any animal will die quickly if it is stressed enough. Stress it with head trauma, dehydration, overgrowth of parasites, malnutrition, temperature extremes, fighting, infection, or all of the above, and it's a wonder any survive. Nature itself isnt' gentle on them - lots of them just die from...

Just look at the measels outbreaks all over the world due to the fraud perpetrated by some folks recently. In Africa, there are some spreadign rumors that polio vaccines are a US poison. So, now there are polio problems in some spots - want to talk a horrible horrible thing to see kids go...

he looks pretty fat. How much does he eat? IF over fed, often, they may go off feed for a few days or weeks at a time. May be unrelated to mouth infection, if there is one.

I used to use it. If I recall, the Vitamin A content was astronoical - there was 100:1 or 1000:1 or even a 10,000:1 ratio of Vitamin A to D3. I can't remember - I'll have to find the old bottle. I still have a 20+ year old bottle of the stuff somewhere...

Chameleons benifit form basking in filtered sun, if only that they seem to prefer it. They'll bask in bright filtered sun before they sit under a bulb. Might not get that UVB to them, but they seem to prefer it to a bulb.

Chameleons in general. Eggs, live birth, no difference. If anything, the dejection you recieve after caring for eggs for 9 months is worse than when it comes from a live-born chameleon. After she laid the eggs, mom was gone - it was all you. And they still don't care.

You will soon enough - raise them, feed them, incubate their eggs, hatch them out of the eggs, raise THEM, feed them, care for them ----- and ALL OF THEM hate your guts. You shall soon see. That's why I keep the melleri around!

It's easier than that. Mist for a few seconds. Mist again. A few seconds of warm mist, here and there, over the same time period, will stimulate them to drink just as quickly as a continuous spray. My melleri will all start drinking very quickly now, as they have learned that the big yellow...

could be. Rubbing, burn, bite. It's an injury of sorts. Unusual spot for a burn though! Ardi Abate did a lot of good work, and shoudl eb remembered for it. I also will remember the annoying stuff that she did in the end of the CIN. No grudges, no animosity at all - but it is all stuff...
