The pet store had a cage full of these wild caught. Some had eyes closed and one in the cage was dead... I picked the healthiest looking one and am trying to keep him alive. I have seen him hunt... but I also see him hiding in the leaf litter with his eyes closed. How do I help this guy? The pet...
Hello all - I am curious to see where on your chameleon mites attack. I'm interested in placement, amount, and how quickly the mites are spotted. I would love to see photos of the infestation - thanks!
Hello all!
I have purchased water crystals for the feeders to drink. After looking at the ingredients, it looks like it's the same thing as the Miracle-Gro water crystals for plants. Are they the same thing? Is it actually healthy to hydrate crickets with plastic?
How else can give them moisture?
I have a new clutch of Jackson's babies. They have been exposed to the same UV, the same food, and the same supplements. A couple of them are not growing even though all tongues are shooting well; so, my question is "Why? How can I help them?" (Note: I placed the one on top of the other for the...
The nutshell version:
My female T. jacksonii jacksonii was diagnosed with coccidia when gravid. No treatment was given until after the babies were born, as the medicine's effect on the fetuses was unknown.
Five DAYS later, she had 14 babies. (10/18/2022)
Today, she is treated and clear.
I set...
My coworkers and I have a group chat that we use almost daily. I've taken to sending these photos that I edited of my chameleon when I need to say "yes" and "no"... I'm underappreciated by them. :P

So I bought a few chams week and a half ago (from a guy on craigslist that kept them altogether in a cage, ugh) and I'm trying to determine subspecies. I'm thinking she's Trioceros jacksonii merumontanus but would like input. I don't see females with these type horns... and I thought it was too...
A few years ago I stumbled upon a site that allowed you to search your area for exotic vets... and I lost the site. Does anyone know of a website where I can type in my location and a list (no matter how short it may be) shows me where I can go for a vet?
I have a vet... but I'm a Jackson's/...
Background: I have a colony of FFF that's doing great. I've been keeping them in a 10gal with Press 'n Seal Wrap (with tiny holes in it) to keep them inside. I'm also growing various carnivorous plants with the flies cuz they need to eat too. The humidity is up, substrate is garden soil and leaf...
Hello All!
I have two Jacksons (male and gravid female) and a Helmeted (male), all enclosures have a Arcadia 22" 24W T5 bulb. Back when I was into veilds, I was told to change the bulb every 6 months... so I still have been... but the Arcadia website says the bulbs have a lifespan of 1 year...
