Well, today I thought I would set up a new pygmy tank and move my 3 pygs over to their new home. While pulling the tank apart I found 13 eggs buried, they all look great. Then to my surprise, there in front of me was the smallest chameleon I have ever seen. A little baby pig had hatched in the...
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce my ambilobe PONCHO. I picked him up from Harry at Chroma Chamelons last year at the Mississauga show. Poncho was approx. 3 months old when I got him and has turned out to be quit an impressive young man. Thanks for looking!
Well gang, I think I need to check myself into a cham rehab as this chamaleon keeping is one very addictive hobby. Tonight I just picked up my 7th cham. That's right I said seven. This makes 3 veilds, 3 nosy be's and 1 ambanja. All I can say is, what an addicting and satisfying hobby this has...
I just thought I would show you all this great cage I scored. This was a server cage at my place of employment. It was being thrown out so I thought it would make a great home for one of my chameleons. The thing is huge, 6 feet tall by 3 feet deep by 2 feet wide. All the screening was in place...
Hi Guys,
Just to let you all know that my "Pretty Girl" laid 33 eggs last night. Of course she had to lay them at the bottom of a very large ficus, under the root ball. It was tricky getting them out. She usually likes the bucket-o-sand but thought she would make me work for it this time. Gotta...
Hi All,
I have 9 baby veilds that are about 7 weeks old now. Just tonight I noticed something very strange. When one of the babies went scurring across the floor of their cage (they have been raised in a large tupperware container with a reptisun 5 over top) it caused a few few of them to...
Hi All, (sorry this is so long)
Here's the long and short of it. I have tried to breed my Nosy Be panthers on a few occasions with no such luck. Both male and female are approx. 2.5 years old and out of site of each other. On Saturday night I placed my female into the males cage and left them...
Does anyone know if there is a reptile society in the Niagara and surrounding areas. I live in Southern Ontario and I think we need a society for reptile keepers. It would be awesome to meet and exchange ideas with like minded individuals, especially chameleon keepers. I would definitely be...
Well, it was a great show today and I was able to meet two of the forum members, Chameleon Nation and Chroma Chameleons. I picked up a beautiful female Nosy Be from Chroma Chameleons. She will make a nice addition to my clan. It's nice to finally put a face to a few names!
Breeding Help Please
Hi all,
I have been trying to get my Ambanja panthers to breed for some time now with no luck. The are both over 2 years old now and I have never had the female lay a clutch of eggs, not even unfertilized ones.
I have bread veilds so I have some experience in the...
Hi eveyone,
Well, after 17 days the final egg has finally hatched. That makes a total of 30 in all. The first egg hatched Aug 1 and the last one on Aug 17. The last little guy seems rather small in comparison to his siblings that have been growing for the past 17 days but I'm sure we can...
Hi guys,
Will too many NON FERTILISED clutchs shorten a chams life?
My female veiled has layed 5 clutchs so far, 2 have been fertilised. It seems she will lay a clutch with or without a male, so my question is, does an unfertilised clutch take as much out of her as a fertilised clutch? I...
Hi everyone,
Well, my first baby veiled hatched from it's egg tonight. 29 more to go! This is my first time hatching chams. I have hatched many geckos in the past but the first time for chams. If anyone has any tips on caring for the new babies just after they hatch I would be interested in...
Hi everyone,
I have a female cham that has developed small black spots on her belly recenltly. I thought it was dirt from her recent laying 2 weeks ago but they haven't gone away yet. She appears to be acting normal and is eating great.
She is 3 years old and has layed 2 fertile clutchs in...
I have a pair of panthers that are about 2 years old now. I put them together about 2 weeks ago (not my first attempt by any means) for a period of 24 hours. The females colours were receptive but I never actually seen them copulate. The day after, her colour had changed to black with orange...
