Now that he's matured fully and he was fired up in the close-up, I think you're right, he's a red bar ambilobe. I've had him over a year and he is about 2 years old - I think his colors have really brightened since I got him. It probably doesn't hurt that he mainly gets hornworms...
That's funny you should say that, because I posted photos of him a while ago trying to figure out what he is, and the consensus was Ambanja I think. Whatever he is I think he is awesome!
My Nosy Be pair are right at a year old, so for the first time today I thought I'd put them together and see what happened. She made no agressive moves at all, and he just climbed up and went to town. She let him mate twice in about 2 hours and then turned dark and didn't want him near so I...
Can you post a picture of your cham giving you the finger? I laughed out loud at my work on that one!
Seriously though, what was said in the above post is spot on. The key to these guys is understanding that your mileage may vary on feeding, etc. My adult Ambanja has developed a taste for...
One more month has gone by and my babies are not such babies anymore! George is even getting some yellow on his lips, which was a welcome surprise when I got them out this weekend for a little shoot! Enjoy!
I have an Ambanja, and he does get a little fired up, but I still can't get him to fully fire up. He could care less about a mirror, and I have two other chams now and he doesn't even get excited about them. For some reason, when my daughter goes to take a photo of him with her iPhone, he...
Oops - I forgot about Tobramycin and Amikacin. They weren't quite as common back when I was a practicing pharmacist so I let them slip my mind. It's true though that the gent will have to be injected to get any meaningful tissue levels if it's gone into the tissues. That bug is not easy to...
P. Aeruginosa is sensitive to gentamicin, it's what we use in humans as well. It's true you have to be very careful with dosing if the cham ingests it, as it will cause kidney damage. In humans, this is one of the few antibiotics that we actually take levels for and adjust accordingly due to...
So sorry for your loss Robin - As you know, my Sambava went downhill quick for no apparent reason as well, and when you feel like you know what you're doing it's frustrating. The good news is you have that Sambava that's doing well and I think you're getting another panther soon, right? Keep...
Here's my original post where many people thought he was sambava but I think he was sold to the original owner as Ambanja. What do you think?

Thanks Tom, they are both doing quite well, in fact the female is 14gm, so she is bigger than he is! She is not as shy about eating, she starts catching crickets as soon as I put them in there, but he is very shy and doesn't really want me to watch him eat. The crickets disappear though, so...
What a difference 3 weeks and 1 shed makes!
I got George out for another photo shoot over the weekend, and his colors have really exploded! He is now 4 months old. He's a small guy, weighing in at only 9 grams, but seems quite healthy and eating otherwise. I'll post a Jan 21 photo and 2...
