    Jackson's babies!!!

    I bought a female xanth Jackson's at the Daytona herp show and low and behold, she was gravid and I have a bunch of little bundles of joy this morning. Pics later - right now I have some options. 12x12x12 Exoterra - planted or unplanted? or 16x12x20 Screen cage - with schefflera...

    Water conditioning

    So what's the general consensus on water conditioning? Reason why I ask is that it always seems that when I mist (I use a pump-handle pesticide sprayer, obviously never used with pesticides) my male Oustalets sometimes has his eyes irritated it seems for a few hours. None of the other chams...

    Sex Determination in Flap-Neck Chameleons (C. dilepis)

    I'm considering purchasing 2 C. dilepis in order to potentially (as in a year in the future) try to breed them. I've heard that there have been no successful breeding attempts thus far. Is this due to problems in sex determination or is it compounded by other difficulties as well, ie, babies...
