I am transferring out of state for college and cannot take my Panther with me. He is just over a year old, hatched September of 2010. Extremely friendly chameleon, very easy to handle and shows no signs of stress during handling. When you open the door of his cage he's likely to come out all on...

A couple weeks ago, on May 13, one of my pygs laid eggs. She never dug, and she just laid them right on top of the soil. There were three eggs, two of which looked like they'd dried out a bit. I put them all in vermiculite anyway, just to see what would happen. The two that looked dry did...

I went to feed and mist today and noticed 3 little eggs in my pygmy viv. I spotted them so quickly because she never dug, and laid them right on top of the dirt. Is this normal? Should I be worried about her at all? She either laid them today or yesterday, I'm not quite sure. Two of the eggs...

When I search "Senegal Chameleon" in Google, the first result that comes up is this: Senegal Chameleons. No wonder so many people who have "done their research" still have so many things wrong with their husbandry. It's too bad that this forum isn't the first result of chameleons searches on...

I hate speech class! But to make it more tolerable, I decided to do this next speech on something I'm interested in. It's about providing correct lighting for reptiles and such. I know many of the symptoms of MBD, but I was hoping someone could give me a more thorough list. I used the search on...

Any biologists or hardcore breeders out there who could tell me what the chromosome numbers for the four genera (furcifer, calumma, chamaeleo, and bradypodion) of chameleons are? Also, what is the sex system in chams?

I just got a pair of Jackson's on Friday, who now go by Max and Margaret (I've never been one for "pet" names). According to the previous owner, they are an unrelated CB pair, just over a year old. They both looked great when they arrived, aside from a little stress due to shipping. The female...

I just got a pair of Jackson's (xanths) today. Up to this point, all of my chameleons have been male (aside from some female Brevs). I know that the feeding schedule is generally lighter for females, but I'd love if someone could tell me exactly how it should differ from the male's. The female...

Happy to announce that I've added a sweet pair of Jackson's to my little chameleon family! I got them from a member here on the forum, prarielandchameleon, and they're just excellent! They're both settling in after the long trip, but I'll post a couple pictures once they've had a day or two to...

I've made some major changes to my free range after loosing my veiled earlier this month. With the new set up, there are no places that a cham could leave the free range, but I've still moved the rat (who killed my veiled through the bars of his cage) to a different room. All of the plants are...

My panther, Huxley, seems to be having trouble with his left eye. I noticed tonight that he wasn't opening it all the way... it wasn't closed, just not as wide open as his right eye. He rubbed it on my hand a time or two. Ofter a closer look, his eye seemed to have some sort of film over it...

Brevs are here! This is the first time I've had chameleons shipped to me, so I was kind of worried about what kind of condition they would be in when they arrive. They came at 11:30 this morning and look great! I ordered 3 for myself and 3 for a friend (1.2 ratios). They're wild caught, and...

Does anyone know of a good breeder/supplier of pygmy chameleons? I am looking for a pair or trio and can't seem to find them available. I'm interested in Brevs, Spectral, Viridis, or Temporalis.

Finally got everything together today and got my exo ready for a pair or trio of pygmies. I still have a couple things to add/adjust. I need some leaf litter on the bottom and I think I'm going to use my extra coconut liner to cover the sides of the viv. I'm picking up new bulbs tomorrow and...

I'm setting up a new viv next week that will include some pygmies. I've set up terrariums before, but I want to do this one "right". I have a couple questions/ideas, hoping someone can give me a little insight. First, substrate and draining. I'm using hydroton for water storage and a carbon...

As if my midterms and insomnia haven't been stressful enough this week, tonight I was called home to find Ling-Ling in a pool of blood, limbs dangling, unable to walk at all. He had somehow found a way down from his free range and walked across the rat's cage... the rat got him through the bars...

I got a brand new 18x18x18 exo terra tank for $60 at work today. I'm pretty excited to set up a viv and get some pygmies in there. I've never kept pygs before, and I'm doing a lot of reading on them, but I was wondering what species (besides brevs) are most common. I probably will end up doing...
