The way i read the post was that he was asking about overall light sources, not just UVB. Full spectrum lighting has been talked about before on here, so if you searched "HID" you might get the hit, assuming the thread is alive.
We use these lamps in many evo experiments as well as some of our...
I disagree. I dont believe she would have left her animal alone with the person unless she thought that person was reliable. You paint the poster as a callous person with only their interests at heart and left their poor cham alone to defend for itself.
The fault lies with the person who was...
You could try breeding them :)
That'd be a cool side project. Although it'll probably just compound the issue. You'll end up with tons of feeders, but most of those will probably just cocoon up before you can feed them off. I'd still try it though!
Nah once is enough i think :)
Plus, i dont necessarily disagree with you on this one ...
Hobart:
Instead of Ice cubes, if you want a cheap dripper, you can buy one of those 42 oz. or whatever soft drinks from McDonald's for less than a buck. Drink (or toss) the pop, clean the cup, then poke a...
Yep, although they usually dont do any harm. Parasites are usually very specific about their host. If a human gets a filarial worm here in the states, it usually ends up wandering the body looking for its "mating spot." The worm wanders in humans, however say if it normally infects ducks, it...
I'm from Ohio and have talked to some regulars who attend both the cleveland and columbus one. They've told me that it is a great place to go and make contacts, as well as look to purchase an animal. They seemed to remember there being a decent assortment of animals at each of these. But, i...
You guys kill me sometimes.
Some people dont share the antiseptic view on Chameleon keeping as some of you do. Apparently, this gentleman is one of those. It's one thing to tell the guy that you believe what he is doing is unsafe for the animal (which is fine to do, infact its the right thing...
Ahh i think i see a solution. Those are housings that youre looking at. You should be able to find an HQI bulb to fit housings like that. Maybe get in touch with a dealer of the specific bulb you want and them show them a pic of the housing you'd like?
Anyways, this is what the University has...
Yeah at the university we have those kinds of lights for our greenhouse and some of our invertebrate tests. I know we get them from the local police dept. when they bust inhouse marijuana growers. I'll see if i can't get anything, light wise :D, from the local guys that use these in the bio...
Amazing pics. I've always wanted to see one in real life. Most people think that butterflies are the "pretty" ones until i show them pics of guys like these. Some moths put all butterflies to shame imo. :D
I wouldn't want to take the risk. For one, their carapace is a lot tougher than an arthropod's. I would worry about causing an impaction. Secondly, a cham, like most lizards, will go for the head of the insect. That leaves those pinchers free to snap at the chameleon.
Would it be a good...
I wouldn't say im a professional cham owner (mostly because im not actually an owner), But what i have been reading about chameleons says that they are extremely territorial. What you could end up with is one hen pecking the other.
The other thing is that they are from two different areas...
