Well yet again the sun shone in the UK...its getting to be a habit!! So i decided as its likely we may get a hot summer this year i would make up some outdoor cages as cheaply as possible for my chams to go in when having a sunbathe for a few hours...as there is an abundance of cats in the area...

As its likely that in a very short time i will have to move my Oustellets into larger cages. I will be getting some other young chams to go into the cages that the Ousties are currently in...In so doing. i decided that i would purchase several more of the smaller cage units as well. as its...

Thought i would try out the new "cell phone" cam (see how thoughtful I am..even Americanised the text ;))..So out came my pair of Ousties..checking the growth rate..the male is like some kind of weed..he looks bigger everyday.. This was him 16 weeks ago..4/1/10 and this is him...

:) My female Yemen is currently "with eggs":rolleyes: not fertile..just the chameleon equivalent of "that time of the month / year" .Well as i was cleaning out the Males cage.i placed him on a Ficus tree. nearby..but forgot that he would now have sight of the females cage..on the opposite side...

Seeing as its a rarity to see Sun in the UK at this time of year..thought i would take the opportunity to let my 2 Yemens have a wander and sun bathe outside for a change....

You know how life has a way of sneaking up behind you when you least expect it and..then taking its time..creeps up slowly..takes aim..and delivers a hard kick right in your delicate regions? Well....i just got a hard direct hit...:confused: My purchase of my 2 Adult Mellers fell...

Nothing cuter than a sleeping Chameleon... here is my little male...snuggled up for the night..just getting drowsy mode.. and his girlfriend...... Wayyyyyyy ahead of him..........:)

Whilst awaiting the next stage of my Mellers unit build...ie awaiting another delivery of lighting/heating/mesh/acrylic sheet/ etc etc..my mind set to thinking about what to use for"branches"...mainly to form a variety of highways across the full 9ft length, but also on varying levels and of...

Few recent pics of my pair of Oustellets...both feeding like crazy on young locusts.. first the male... and not forgetting his future....love interest!!:rolleyes:

Well..it all started today...get ready for 12 weeks of ongoing chaos...the day started well, with the timber delivery arriving early... A big pile of wood..that had to be turned into the 9ftx 8ft x 34" framework After a short while..i realised that this was going to take more than...

OK Guys just mulling over some ideas here, and your input..(as always) is welcome..im starting on the frame build on Monday for the new Mellers unit and i`m just throwing a few ideas in the air...the first is in regards the drainage floor area..the floor of the unit will ne a raised affair...

Got sent another pic today of one of my new Mellers..the male i think..im going to drive down to them next week to take more pics..in the meantime the new unit is being started on Monday...so get set for pics!:)

Now I know there is a long list of acceptable plants...........i know...i mean ..i know!..but you know when you just want to make sure?:) so at the moment im buying in lots of various plants for use in my new Mellers enclosure. so on that basis...are any of the following definate NO NO`s...

I decided to start my Chameleon collection with a pair of Veiled ..in the UK , as in many places. this is obviously the most common species readily available as a captive bred species...however, at the time of looking for my first purchase there were lots of males available..but nothing that...

Hey Guys...I would really like to try and get some info from experienced keepers on this one...what would you recommend that the ideal diameters should be for Mellers support/branches..obviously im aware of the whole weight ratio /feet prob..so in constructing my unit I wondered what you guys...

Well. its started!! Already im gathering all the many and varied parts that I require for building my new chameleon "condo" for my pair of adult Mellers...i figure they deserve only the best..so as mentioned in another thread. the new unit will span the entire length of one wall..its exact...

Today turned out to be one of those..GO FOR IT! days...little did I know as what today held in store... I have been searching all the UK forums to see if i could find anyone selling captive bred Mellors...but to no avail...in fact i only spotted one ancient thread stretching back to...
