    Why is my chameleon eating dirt?

    Do a search on beta carotene vs. preform vitamin A on this forum and you may want to reconsider your supplements. The argument that Panthers don't convert beta carotene to Vit A is not resolved, but anecdotal evidence may suggest it. I recommend Zoomed's Reptivite wit D3 every second day...

    Why is my chameleon eating dirt?

    Eating dirt can be a sign of digestive tract parasites or a nutritional imbalance. The schedule for calcium with D3, calcium without D3, vitamin, or an all in one is dependant on the formulation. Repcal calcium w/D3 is so strong that its use is usually 2 times per month , where as a...

    Opinions on Chameleon Pricing

    Chris, I totally agree with your comments and I often wonder, what it would take to elevate other chameleon species in the eye of the hobbyist? I personally started with Fischers and they still remain my favourite. Its hard to understand why there is less appeal for these chams. I imported...

    "you cant charge labour unless you are doing it for a living" And that is exactly why you can't sustain it. You have now chosen NOT to donate the labour and free cost of space to those that you would sell $90.00 Panthers to. That makes you and me exactly the same. I WON'T donate the labour...

    Ya, he did go out of business , because his pricing was unsustainable.The other issues were symptoms of the shoestring model. So should I lower my prices and charge for customer service and after the sales advice? Maybe drop the health guarantee? Maybe all the breeders should save the cost of...

    Opinions on Chameleon Pricing

    If you advocate dropping prices ( remember Precision Labs???) until all commercial breeding stops, then the hobby either dies or resorts to mass importation of WCs. Even bedroom breeders tend to scale back after 1 or 2 clutches because of the lack of FREE time ( unrealized labour cost) to pursue...

    Its clear that if veileds are hard to find , they are under priced. The distributors continually beat down the prices until all production stops. Then, the cycle starts over again... higher prices... more veiled production. Breeders won't produce veileds at a loss. The cheap Panther model...

    D3 overdose.??

    One of the issues created by overdosing D3 is that your chameleon will metabolize far too much Calcium into serum form. It will force calcification of the muscle tissue. Often you will see your chameleons back legs move in a rigid tripod type of motion. You may also see calcium deposits along...
