Wow, hope it turns out OK. Its like she pushed eggs out of the way to make room for the expansion. The fact that she doesn't seem to be in distress is a good thing. You're closer to the situation, and my advice was a "playing the odds" type answer, so I won't argue my standpoint. The calcium...

Do you think that the eggs are fertile, or infertile? I had a panther lay infertile eggs this way, but she dropped them all in one day. She was fine after that. The fact that the eggs are passing is a good sign, but the fact that she's doing it over a few days is bad. I think you're right...

Ditto on everything you said. The female veileds aren't as mean, but I've found that they have a grip that can make you almost cry because their feet are so strong. I think male panthers win on temperment and tolerate handling better. I've said it here before, but while it may be true that...

Sorry...back from a trip to the relatives. Yeah, honesty is the best policy. I'd rather voice my mistakes and indescretions of youth than let others repeat them. I was feeding her 7 to 8 adult crickets (or their equivalent) every day. Your feeding policy sounds a lot better than what I was...

Most of them would have made it if I knew what I was doing in the early stages. Later on, I was getting only one or two deaths per clutch. All clutches were viable (except one) when laid and she lived a little over 2.5 years. This was back in 2001. She'd have probably lived twice as long if...

I've never seen it on a cham, but it might be a fungus. Google "black reptile fungus" and see what you come up with. Treatments are stuff that would treat atheletes foot in the early stages, and in the late stages, it gets in their blood and will kill them. Only a vet can give shots to cure...

Clutches I had an Ambanja female that laid 10 clutches for a total of 230 eggs.

Hey there. Sorry I missed your post. Yes, thats fine. Just look me up when you're ready. Steve www.chameleonplantation.com

Interesting stuff. I always assumed that the babies couldn't learn cup training. I never tried it. Might have to give it a whirl.

The problem comes in when cross bred animals enter the marketplace as pure. If you want pure panthers, you have to prove your line over generations. It can set you back quite a bit if someone knowingly, or unknowingly sells you one. There was a time when the chameleon community was EXTREMELY...

Are you positive he's eating and drinking? A drip system isn't enough for a baby. They need to be misted with water a few times a day. Also, you need to have enough prey items in their cage so that they will walk by the baby very often during meal times. You can ensure this by going to...

Natural sunlight brings the colors out best. She may go gravid around 5 to 6 months of age.

Looks fantastic! I noticed that your temp guage was reading 86. Don't know where you're measuring from, but if he just keeps sitting under the light most of the time, you may want to up the wattage in your basking bulb.

Yeah, guess I better cross post the resolution here. Adcham is slow these days, which is a shame considering the collective experience level there.

Yes, she needs to "do the dirty" with the male, and then later she will lay fertilized eggs.

Looking for a Purple Banded Ambanja Panther to sire one of my females. I'd like an outright purchase, or stud service. Anyone know someone with one who might work with me? I'm in the U.S. Email sreecy(at)comcast(dot)net

Got one! Got one! Hey, tried to post "Got one!" and I was told my message was too short. OK...is this long enough???

Yes. I once saw a surprisingly small bird fly off with a surprisingly large lizard. Thankfully, it wasn't mine.

I did it with an adult male veiled named Gizmo. He was in my den, and lived on a large ficus tree next to the window. I put a plastic sheet under the tree and watered him with a water bottle. Fed him with a food bin wired to the tree trunk. I just suspended his lights over him from the...

Want Female Ambanja Panther. Must be pure. Prefer breeding age. Price must be reasonable. If you have one and you're thinking of downsizing, I can give her a good home. thanks, Steve
