My crested is only 18 grams . The dosage is .025 . Only a drop or less. I pull in a tiny ammount of distilled water with it. He fights me the whole time. Its almost more stress than its worth.

I've been giving Kyle my Cristatus Reptaid once a day for the last several days. I just add a few drops of water to the dose and administer it by syringe. I cant think of a way to administer it in his water supply without wasting it as he drinks from a drip and 2x per day misting. Apparently the...

I got a journal type magazine called Elaphe that I ordered after searching the internet for "Cristatus" which contains an article about the Cristatus chameleon from February 2001 it seems to be in German or Dutch language. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to translate the text...

Is the flap neck type a egg layer? Maybe she has eggs and needs to lay them. I have a damp sand bucket in my cresteds cage in case she grows some eggs and needs to lay them A cham can become eggbound if she has no place to deposit her eggs. I lost a female veiled a few months back to what I...

Carlton, True that. Every now and then the sound of a cricket getting tagged lets me know shes still in there lol.;)

Update Just a quick update. Misty is doing great and is eating all crickets . She wont touch her waxworms or mealworms. She now has a shefflera bush in her cage in addition to the pothos and her sand bucket. Pretty crowded lol.:o

Fearaffect, I hope to one day own a pair of the Montiums as well. They look so cool!

Trace, Thanks for the info. Lol:D oh yeh second Monday of October ;). I havent bought a cham from Tiki Tiki yet but I almost did. Chad was very honest in declining a sale a while back due to the Cham not looking healthy. I had ordered one and when they checked on it the morning it was to be...

Thanks Thanks Sohumvet. Lovereps, Yes , Ill send Chad at Tikki Tikki an email to see if the latest shipment ever arrived! It was delayed last week. :)

good news Trace, Trillian, Misty has improved greatly over the past week or so. I have decided not to pursue the panacur treatment <for the present> as she is doing so well and the vet had to really look a long time to even find one single parasite . I should get the gram scale tomorrow by...

10 4 Trace, Thanks for the detailed response. Just now after an extended hand misting of her cage, she drank quite a bit of water and worked her tounge a few times then surprisingly she tagged a huge cricket and sat there with it in her mouth I think surprised at how big it was lol.:D She...

Heres a pic of Misty in Spec Ops camo. To update, misty is the survivor of a four chameleon Group I got on two orders from First choice Reptiles. She has been with me a little over a month. I had another fecal check on Misty and it came up positive for a parasite but it took them a while to...

Trace, Thanks for the advice, ill report back as things progress.:)

Thanks Sohumvet. :)

sadly Unfortunately, Ceilia has died. I still dont know what killed her and her potential mate Little Buddy. I dont think lack of Lighting, Moisture or diet were directly responsible tho. I think these two were sick when I received them. The species is notoriously delicate . Thanks to...

The sick one (Ceilia) looks the same. The other female (Misty) looks a little skinny this morning and is moving slow (Mistys eyes still are not caved in like Ceilias). I gave both a shower yesterday (Tuesday) (Mistys first) with 83 degree water room temp 80 degrees. I had an artificial plastic...

Someone here has had some success breeding the Cristatus http://www.chameleonnews.com/07FebPedersen.html

Trace, I leave for work at 6:45 am and im not a "morning person" lol so its evening showering they will receive. I will keep an eye out at the thrift stores for a bigger bucket . Your right it needs a little deeper and a bit wider. But at least it will tell if they start digging.

Cameroon weather stats I thought i'd post this link to a page of pertinent weather stats for the Cristatus' natural habitat in Cameroon in western Africa http://www.cameroon.climatemps.com/ Just south of Cameroon is Gabon in which the weather is quite a bit warmer and the humidity is...

Thanks for that Sohumvet, i'll keep that in mind. I misted the two fems this morn and checked the drip. I'll shower treat both of them this evening maybe twice. Trace, in answer to an earlier item you spoke about, Yes I have a ice cream bucket filled with damp play sand about 6 inches deep...
