I have a male and female veiled chameleon. The male is approx. 1-1/2 yrs. old and the female is 2-1/2 yrs old. They are both housed separately in 175 gal. flexariums. They get dusted crickets with occasional butterworms or silkworms and sometimes fruit. The female has been rather large for...

I have a male Veiled that's approx. 7-8 yrs. old. I keep thinking that he isn't going to last much longer but he keeps surprising me. I don't see him eat crix very often and he will usually only take silk/butter/horn worms from a nearby branch or my hand. His tongue doesn't come out very...

Well one of my female Veileds laid about 40 or so eggs the other day. I haven't had her with a male for quite some time. The eggs are very small and when I shine a light through them they are a clear amber colour. So I'm assuming that these eggs are all infertile however she only laid...

OK ... I already know that this isn't advisable but let me explain the situation. I currently have 2 adult female veileds that could likely use larger enclosures. I also have a male and female juvenile chameleon. And I recently purchased a 100 gallon flexarium. I would like to put the...

OK ... so before I even start I know that the rule is NO SUBSTRATE for chameleons. However lately I've been questioning this and was wondering exactly why that is. Some reasons for certain types of substrate are obvious but others are a bit unclear. So please bear with me and read my idea and...

Hey everybody .... here's the newest edition to the family. It's a male African Banded Velvet Gecko. He's about 5" long, nocturnal and apparently can have a wicked little bite. ( Haven't tested it out yet!! :rolleyes: ) Anyhow ... lemme know what you think...

Hey All, I've noticed my old male is really losing his grip a lot lately. He usually seems to catch himself but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he starts to fall. This has been going on for a while now but has been getting worse lately. He eats a few silk / butter worms a day...

I was wondering when I should start adding supplements to the crickets for my baby veiled chams. The oldest are approx. 3 weeks old with the youngest hatching yesterday. The younger ones are in a separate enclosure than the older ones. So I just wasn't sure when was a good time to start...

Hey all ... I did a search on the forum but couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for. I want to know how long to wait to safely breed my female veileds again. I've heard anywhere from 2 months to 1 year from various sources. One female laid eggs at the beginning of last October and...

Well everybody ... I was pleasantly surprised to find some baby Veileds today. :eek: I have 18 eggs in an DIY incubator and 8 in a margarine container with holes. I had checked the eggs last Thur. or Fri. and none had hatched. I figured that I had another month or so to wait as they had been...

Hey .. has anybody heard of these or tried them yet. Apparently they are hardier and grow faster than regular silkworms. I can't seem to find much info on the net however the price is almost twice that of regular silkworms/eggs. Just wondering if it's worth the extra expense. Thanks ...

I recently got a couple of pygmy chams .... R. Brev. ... and set up their enclosure according to specs. After about a week one developed and eye problem keeping it's eye closed half the time. This cham quite often stayed on the bottom of the enclosure near the glass. For a few days I misted...

Has anybody seen this yet?? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Cold-Blood-David-Attenborough/dp/B0010Z9ORE It sounds great but I can't seem to find it in region 1 anywhere. Mind you my DYD player is region free and I believe that I can turn PAL on or off. So maybe I should just get it...

First off I know there has been much controversy over these bulbs. Some say they are great and some say beware. I am not trying to start another debate over the issue I just want to check what people think about the application I will be using them in and give me your opinion. I have 2 male...

About a week ago I bought a couple of Pygmy Brev. Chams and set up their enclosure as per the general outline. There's a layer of Hydroton, Charcoal & Coconut Fibre. On top of this there are several plants in pots, peat moss, sphagnum moss and dead leaves and twigs. I've been spraying them...

Hey Everybody ... I've been trying to find the book ... Stump-tailed Chameleons, Miniature Dragons of the Rainforest Petr Necas and Wolfgang Schmidt, 2004 Unfortunately it's a fairly expensive book and I was hoping the somebody may have it slightly used for a bit cheaper. So let me know...

Well I got myself a couple of Pygmy Chams yesterday ... they're SOOO KOOL !! :cool: I was told that they're Rhampholeon temporalis but I'm thinking that they look a little like Brevs. The LPS also couldn't tell if they were male and female or not. I'm defintely hoping that they are ... maybe...

Well ... I believe my 5 yr. old male veiled has started to occasionally eat crickets again as that's all I've been able to give him lately except for the occasional grape half which he also doesn't seem to mind. However he got a nice treat the other day. I opened up his cage to spray him and...

Hey all ... I'm looking at getting a couple of these chams from a LPS and was wondering if anybody else had any experience with them. I believe that they need a forest floor type terrarium with many nice thin branches and a fairly high humidity. I'm thinking that a 20 gal. with a screen lid...

Hey everybody, I've been trying to breed my other female with my 5 yr. old male as he seems to be slowing down a bit so I wanted to make sure I had some offspring from him before something happened. She started digging a couple of days ago and has just finished covering up the hole. I...
