    African Fat Tail Geckos

    I love that first photo. It gives them an almost childish quality.

    Getting veiled cham to eat fruits/veggies

    I have a female veiled chameleon, about 18 months old, who is a great eater except that she doesnt touch fruits or vegetables. She will wolf down any feeder insect, grub, worm, even thawed frozen mice but she doesnt ever touch the fruits and vegetables I place in her enclosure. Any advice?

    Help - ants!!!

    Here's a nifty trick to keep them off of any racks or stands that have legs ( like standard iron aquarium stands ). Take used tuna cans ( or anything similar ) and place the legs into the cans. Fill the cans part way with oil. Ants, and other bugs, will not be able to cross this barrier. It wont...

    Blue Bottle Flies

    So I take it only the maggots eat the milk/sugar mixture, not the adults? I want to try these. I am wary of trying house flies because of infestation concerns. As it is I am battling some kind of grain eating moths for the last few months. My wife is convinced I brought them in with one of my...

    Crickets or Locust?

    I imagine the reason is as stated above, that grasshoppers/locusts are hard to get in the US, unless you catch them yourself. I was recently at the Smithsonian and they had an exhibit on insects, arachnids and other creepy crawlies ( live bugs and many to handle ). They had lubber locusts which...

    Looking for cham in the NYC/Long Island area

    I'm looking to buy a male veiled chameleon from someone local - dont want to pay for or risk shipping - and don't know if I'll be making it to a White Plains show anytime soon. I'd be open to other species as well but prefer a Veiled. Please PM details if you have any available - location...

    Veiled Chameleon growth chart

    Does anyone have one? I've read quite a few threads asking about a cham's health and size, especially regarding females and judging if they are growing too fast and at risk for egg binding. I'd like to see a chart that has average growth rates and age/sizes for use as a reference.

    Can you feed earthworms?

    Not to mention that a chameleon will sometimes just eat something without grabbing it with its tongue. I've seen my cham walk up to grubs, worms and just chomp them down, just like they do with veggies.

    Is this a baby super?

    They look like waxworms but the truth is many moth larvae look like that. A better clue is where you found them. Waxworms eat bee's honey, wax, pollen and most likely wouldnt have been found in the bedding unless some were accidentally dropped in but it seems like these were multiplying in...

    Beardie Incoming!

    Enjoy the beardie. I have one that is about a year and a half old now, a male that I bought as a 2 month old. He was also pretty red as a juvenile but I found that if the food isn't gutloaded with a lot of beta-carotene containing foods, or if he doesnt eat a lot of them himself, the color tends...

    White Plains show

    Its a good show. Ironically though, they have been getting more and more vendors each year but offering less and less variety. The vast majority are selling common snakes ( colubrids, boas, pythons ), bearded dragons, and leopard and crested geckos. You can find chameleons usually but not always...

    Either this is a joke or just a really pathetic or naive person posting. I'm really leaning towards the first choice.
