I haven't posted for quite some time. I got immersed in working with my horses and my husband has been in very poor health for several years. I used to work a lot with WC imported panther chameleons. I still have some chameleons including a Diego Suarez female that I hatched out 1 1/2 years...

I had a very unexpected event Sunday......I was able to confirm the sex of my youngest Melleri, Squirt, after she laid 48 eggs. Don't get too excited...they are probably infertile. It's possible they are fertile and I am holding on to the fantasy that they could be fertile. They probably are...

I got a bit of a surprise today. I checked my eggs and found out that a Veiled clutch had started to hatch. Two hatchlings were together in a cute "chameleon hug". Then I discovered that there was only ONE empty egg. I looked and looked but could find no other empty egg. I have to conclude...

I use the normal household CFL bulbs to provide extra light in my cages that are in a dark part of a room and don't need extra heat. They are great for that. And my local electric company/provider likes to send me a dozen free ones each year. I guess they look at my monthly bill and are...

AJA's post about a new reptile show in Seattle got me thinking about Daytona. This year I have a perfect opportunity to go. I adjusted all my breeding/egg laying activity so I won't have any eggs hatching or babies to take care of for several months around the Daytona show time period. My...

I've got quite a few adult Veileds. I've got a good sized clutch sired by "Otto" that hatched out in late August/early September of last year. Jrtrader and Julirs have offspring. I've kept all the other offspring to watch them color up. I'm hoping Royden will take a male later this year...

This is another baby picture taken tonight while cleaning baby cages. I've got a great wild caught Nosy Be named Sirion. He is a real sweetie. He comes to the door to get treats and will come out of the cage if I let him. He has been bred with two different wild caught females. One clutch...

Hubby is out of town this week so I had some time to take some pictures of babies while I was cleaning their baby cages. I have two clutches of Tamataves. The older ones are in screen cages and are were not cooperative tonight. Below are pictures of a younger clutch (one and 1/2 months old)...

My hubby's sister sent this YouTube video to me. It got me laughing. Trying to imagine my own cats on this thing. They would totally freak. There appears to be a lot of cat people putting their cats on these cleaning devices. Here's a little chuckle for you...

I have a ten-month-old male Ambanja for sale. The mother is a wild caught female who was gravid at the time of import. This male is part of that clutch which was produced with the help of an unknown wild male. This boy is not the vibrant blue/green that many breeders seek in an...

This last week has been a horrible one for me with regard to my collection. I lost my beloved adult Melleri Layla on Wednesday night. She was in great shape until last Sunday. Sunday she looked great but refused to eat. Monday her color was horribly distressed. I called and got a vet...

I have a ten-month-old male Blue Bar Ambilobe for sale. The mother is a wild caught female who was gravid at the time of import. This male is part of that clutch which was produced with the help of an unknown wild male. He has striking electric blue bars with lots of yellow, red...

My hubby recently bought me a Blue Crown Conure (Parrot species). He's three months old and is named Cody. We had to wait a month while he was being weaned by the breeder. I never thought I could have a bird because of our cats. I learned earlier this year that the larger parrot species...

I read online papers/journals from around the world each day to get my news. These days they do a better job of reporting what is going on with the US economic situation than our own papers do. Today I came across this treasure...

It's been like watching paint dry, age and peel with regard to a clutch of NINE K. Uthmoelleri eggs that was laid April 4 of 2009. The eggs looked great and swelled four times their original size. I could see dark little bodies in the eggs so I thought they were good. Yesterday I did my daily...

I had a fabulous time at the October 17 & 18 Northwest Captive Breeders Expo held at the Puyallup, WA fairgrounds. I was a vendor there (my first show selling reptiles). Pam Reid (Pam's Chams) hosted Nick Barta, Amazing Blue Reptiles and myself. We put three booths together and each had our...

I've been working on my Melleri free range set up this week. It's complete enough that I moved my five Melleri into the setup last night. They seem to be enjoying it. It will be finished in a couple of days when some items are delivered. When it's done I'll take more pictures. Its hard to...

Well the hubby is out of the hospital and we think things are figured out with him so that I can go ahead and plan the open house. After looking at our family stuff I decided that Saturday, August 22nd, is the day that will work for us. The open house will be from 2:00 to 7:00 pm to allow people...

I did my night time walk through an hour or so ago and found two large Melleri escaped their cage at some point. They were in a temporary big screen cage while being treated for parasites (wild caught). They must have moved on the screen door vigorously enough to move the lever locks on the...
