Came across this, this morning and found it got me thinking some. Thought it might do the same for others, regardless of where you draw your personal line on how far to go with veterinary care for your animals. Maybe unlike many who have come into the hobby in the last decade or two, I...

I thought I'd post a couple of pics taken this morning to update this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/yay-my-first-thamnobates-breeding-139281/#post1192882 It's now a bit over 3 and a half months along since that event, and the female is looking really huge and doing great.- Oops...

Just a few random lizard pics I'm putting up for fun First off one of the male chameleons from my last thread breeding today. I have never seen him fire up with these particular colors when breeding- usually he has lots of orange along with the red and yellow and he's got blue bars. Today it...

For fun a few updated pics after my recent thread on whether this lizard was a boy or a girl! The pics below are all taken recently, but some on different days, since she became gravid. To see her pre-gravid coloration and fired up coloration to reject a male once she became gravid click on...

Hadn't seen this before. 90 day feeding trial near the end of the video with groups of bearded dragon hatchlings fed dusted insects vs vitabugs + calciworms vs gutloaded only insects. Wasn't aware that vitabugs were sort of designed to be used alongside calciworms (calciworms 2x per week...

Taken recently. Just thought I'd toss these out there for fun. A couple of my male ambilobes: Shinisaurus born here recently: Portrait of one of our chickens that I thought turned out nice: Son fell asleep with his "house" iguana on the couch by the TV: My barking...

Here is a strange one! I bought this girl at the end of 2013 as a small juvenile from a forum member. Sold as a female ambilobe. This chameleon is built like a female- in person s/he is really wide abdominally like a female, never grew to male size, but is largish female sized. No evidence of...

At first glance USFWS new restrictions on large snakes don't appear to effect many of us. Most of us (myself included- although I do have a pair of boas that I keep around for educational presentations that came super-close to being restricted this time around along with retics and anacondas) do...

The first of the thamnobates I got earlier this year started breeding a few days ago. I waited 20 years to get some, after reading Bert Langerwerf's write-up about them in the BHS. So these are special for me. Sadly my pics of the event are kind of crap. The camera on my phone is all I had and...

I recently acquired 3 freshly imported wild caught ambilobe panther chameleon males. I'm on day 7 of cleaning them up and they have done well overall. Nice steady weight gains. One is so fat and healthy that he looks almost captive bred- except for the subcutaneous worms that I have pulled from...

So, late this summer (mid september) I collected a few of the big black crickets that live beneath things in our yard to see if I could breed them the same way as house crickets. The reason being, this local species of cricket is several times the mass of the domestic crickets, and according to...

So, as many of you probably already know, there are some CB thamnobates coming from a private breeder(s?) in south africa to the USA with cites paperwork in order in mid-December. I'm super excited because after 20 years, I'm finally getting some. Back in the day, I read the article Bert...

Hi Guys, Over many years, I keep buying plants for the chams only to see them die off within a couple of years from scale. Anyone know a safe way to rid the plants of this pest without harming the lizards? Or a way to rid them of the pest and then return them to the lizard after a safe while...

Hey guys. Fall will soon be here, so I am collecting native field crickets and isopods to start cultures before weather makes them unavailable. When starting with isopods, can I get away with a big jar with crumbled damp paper towels for a substrate until babies appear? Seems like this would...

as per the title, I'm looking for a male ambilobe breeder. Must be breeding age, and ready and willing to breed. Eager breeder wanted. Yellow body blue bar preferred, but will accept any ambilobe that is an eager breeder. Older age is also OK as long as he is willing to breed. Must be...

Hey guys. So, I've had roaches for about a dozen years now, but never had heated shelves until about a month ago to keep them on. I always just relied on my building temperatures and got lots of roaches certain times of year and reduced the population other times. After a month on heat tape...

Maybe everyone has already seen this "educational" video about chameleons, but was new to me and gave me a laugh :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR_byRbXxvs

Looks like global warming is finally getting us :D Good luck with your animals this week everyone. Hope everyone has power and everything is OK for you all. I cannot believe the forecast here- this will be the coldest I've ever seen it here by far. And we are kicking it off with an ice...

What are you guys who use the flexwatt style heat tape under your roach bins doing for a thermostat? I'm building shelves today for this. In the past I just kept the roaches ambient room temp but I want to heat them up and get lots of breeding going this time around. I don't have the...

Oh brother- I just found out as of Jan 1st 60 and 40 watt bulbs are being eliminated from sale in the US. http://shine.yahoo.com/at-home/60-40-watt-bulbs-banned-2014-know-211800860.html I don't know why but I thought I saw a news article last year that said that they had decided not to go...
