Happy Halloween week! Denver botanical gardens

https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/epdf/10.1176/appi.ps.201800259 I think recent discussions here reflect some of what this paper talks about. I will kindly ask you to remove the subject material used in the paper and place differing opinions about chameleons and their care in its place because I...

I found a free access book today about animal welfare and thought some of you might be interested. It’s not reptile specific, but should be interesting https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-85248-0

https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/madagascar-presidency-warns-attempted-coup-without-offering-evidence-2025-10-12/ A coup has started in Madagascar. I wonder if anyone has heard how it might affect the trade from there Obviously not the most important question, but it makes you think they...

Has anyone used a chiller to cool their fogger for nighttime fogging, and how well did it work? I’m wondering if this might help reach temps in the 50s at night that many montane Chams require for good overall health Probably would require a much smaller chiller than what is used on reef tanks...

I’m wondering if anyone has used or uses the strategy of increasing basking and ambient temperature when they are treating infections in their reptiles. It is well established that many biological processes require a certain temperature to increase their effectiveness. Immunological processes in...

Just showed up on my feed Interesting, I wonder how programmable it might be https://www.reptiliavita.com/

“Greater variability in habitat constitutes greater potential for precise regulation of preferred temperatures. More opportunity for thermoregulation contributes to the increased fitness of organisms in a complex habitat“ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ece3.1141

Here’s a link to Biology of the Reptilia started and overseen by a scientist named Carl Gans. It covers four decades, 22 volumes, and 13,800 pages of science on reptiles https://carlgans.org/biology-reptilia-online/ It might take a while to get through 😂

I ordered this today. I’m excited to read a review of the research on welfare of captive reptiles. The link below gives a review of its contents https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10936276/

One of our members will be on a podcast on Facebook at 10 CST talking about parson’s and their care. Should be worth checking out if you’re available The link is posted on Primo Chameleons on Facebook if you’re interested

Go outside 😊

The only one that doesn’t hate me 😂 I love the smiley face on his head 🙂

I barely ever see the guy, but man he is pretty (or she? I don’t know, I respect their privacy)

Can someone explain why it is advised to never fog above 67 F? I've read the warning that it could lead to lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia). Why is it assumed that temperature above 67 (? Where did this number come from ?) combined with high humidity (? What’s the number for...

Interesting article discussing production of beta-endorphins through UV exposure. Could make basking a “pleasurable” experience that encourages the behavior? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117380/pdf/nihms599207.pdf this next article suggests that vitamin D deficiency...

I read this article by Dr Francis Baines today. If you don’t know who that is, you really should. She’s advanced reptile lighting a great deal. This article changed or at least put into question my views on vitamin D3 synthesis, how oral D3 might affect synthesis, and hypervitaminosis D. Very...
