Ah but silkies are stinky maybe more so than crickets. They are poop machines and one dead one can spoil the rest.. I gave up on them as it seemed my chammies preferred hornworms over silks.
I love my carpets, prolly my favorites of all my chammies . I bought my female in June 2011 from LLL and my male from Dooley in December 2011. About another 4 months and they'll be ready for breeding. I have to says Dooleys are full of silliness and personality. The boy is an absolute character...
About 500 a week including what the beardies eat. But they also get phoenix worms, butter worms, horned worms, and dubias. Thankfully my wife is tough and doesn't mind the bugs. So she has her own cricket and dubia colonies.
Here are a few pics of my extended family.
1) First is Lisbeth. Shes a 16 month old female Ambilobe who I adopted just recently. She is so gentle and sweet loves to be cuddled which i found odd.
2) This is Isa. She is an 8month old Carpet purchased from LLL Reptile . Shes the queen of the...
Welcome to chameleon parenting. Your little guy is fine. The green is his resting colors, when he's dark it's usually a basking color to absorb heat.. It's gonna take awhile before he stops being skittish when he she's you. Some of my chams love water sprayed on them and others don't it's a...
It was way overcrowded, toooooooo many little kids, waaaaaaayyyyy too few chameleons and what was there wasn't very impressive. Now if you wanted snakes or geckos it was the place to be. Think the best bargains were the grape vines at bargain prices.
Did pick up a pair of baby veiled a male...
I was a vegan until I ate meat. Luckily we have whole food stores up the kazoo where I live. So my son stays meat free. Know there are y chain stores now doing only whole and organic foods. If not in your area check for farmers markets I know the one my wife visits is certied organic and they...
Texas,
show me where I said people are dumb? Naive yes but dumb no. Olimpia even said they tend to push newbies away from other chammy. To something "easier" to care for. The forums themselves will show you how dishonest that is. I don't see anyone posting help me with my carpet or spectral...
I agree with you purty things attract most people. I prefer unique and unusual. But also people are attracted to false "hype" where they believe they are becoming part of some elite group by buying a certain product. I like to use Ed Hardy shirts as an example of such. Their is nothing...
From 77-84 I owned and operated Devol's pets in orange, ca. During which time we supplied Kmart and Five&Dime stores in southern cal with all their reptiles and fish. In 86-91 we strictly sold at the La Mirada outdoor market, selling chinchillas, ferrets, tegus , pythons and Jackson as well as...
Hogwash, the prices have been the same since captive breeding began on them. The only time they were higher is when the only ones available were wc's. Now the bloodlines are so diluted for the trendy buyers pretty toys. Look at pictures in books 20 years or older and compare them to current...
