I have experienced a new eye issue with my female panther as of 2 days ago and it is beginning to worry me. Her left eye is bloated (looks identical as if there is something in her eye). However, she does NOT scratch/"pop" the eye at all. Also, she opens/closes it comfortably and "seeks" with...

Hey all, Not really sure where to ask since I'm not a huge bird guy, but my cousin found this bird outside....I am not familiar with it based on its looks (I have kept lovebirds, conures, cockatiels, etc. in the past) Long story short, the bird is SUPER DOMESTICATED. They found her...

I tried to look, albeit not very thoroughly..... Does anyone know where Tanzania would release information regarding pygmy export regulations/changes? And, does anyone know if they have changed? I'm seeing an increase in the number of pygmy posts around....not sure if its just the...

Hello all, If you have had any legal issues regarding your animals, whether disputes over legality, purchases, or otherwise: I can help. I have recently been admitted to the CA bar and am looking to expand my practice in the areas of exotic animal law. I am offering free/low-cost legal...

Hey all, Haven't been around for a while, life has kinda overtaken me....and throughout it all, my female has still not laid her eggs. Come November she will be 12 months old.... Recently she is becoming less energetic (slightly) but otherwise her old self. I put her in a large bucket...

I tried looking up this info but had no success.... Big Apple Herp is claiming to have WC R. Brev's from Tanzania in stock but I was not under the impression they had opened exports... They also charge $10 for a "sexing fee" ROFL....

My first female is right around the time for her first egg laying (she is about 8 months old) and has not been mated as far as I know; however, she is free-ranged with my male so it is possible they mated when I wasn't around. Anyway, as of the past 2-3 days she has been noticeably darker...

I am curious what the natural size of a chameleon's territory is in the wild. I'm sorry I don't know the technical term for this.....I'm trying to find out roughly how far a male would travel around a given point (or are they completely nomadic and just wander without any territorial attachment...

Hey all, I'm approaching time to deal with my first panther laying situation and just wanted to get some advice on laying bin setups, in particular in regards to privacy VS size First, to put my setup into perspective because it is NOT normal..... 1) I free-range my male and female...

Hey all, over the past few days this white stuff is forming on my baby's nose. at first i thought it was just odd coloration but it is persistant and although she is def still active she has started sleeping during the day and is slightly less energetic. It SEEMS like something growing over...

Hey all, A friend is looking for an unrelated male/female pair, preferably sub-adult or adult (but will consider any) and in the socal area (no shipping). I can drive to pick them up. Please let me know if anyone has a pair for sale.

I have 4 very good looking R.brev eggs incubating for a long while now (I found them 1/18/12). They are light brown, look very healthy, and a nice LARGE peanut M&M size. It seems way too soon for them to be hatching though? About a week ago, one of them shrank suddenly to about half the size...

So...all you "serious" breeders.... What is a "must have" ? What do you use to candle eggs? What MEDICINES are in your "emergency bag"? What kind of incubator do you use? (Heating only, cooling only, just plain gladware, etc?) What else is amongst your breeding tools?

I'm not sure how to add a poll but I'd be very curious as to how long everyone's pygmy chams live to? POLL: 1) How long do your pygmy typically live (EXCLUDING disease/trauma)? 2) How long do your pygmy typically live overall (including any possible cause of death including...

Hey all, I am quite upset. I have now lost 6 of my 7 pygmies over the past 6 months. I know 2 were old age, 1 was a freak accident (the crickets attacking her), and 1 was eggbound...ok. But both my lost males were totally healthy and seemed to die, literally, overnight.... I lost both my...

I've lost 5 of my pygs over the past 5 months (and only 2 to old age *grumble*)....so I've been pretty grumpy about it...and then I woke up this morning to find a little baby in one of my tanks! I'm certainly surprised as the mama in that tank was pretty young when I introduced her and I'm...

Hey all, I know they are still hard to get but just throwing this out there... I am looking for LARGE LOT of R.BREVs (I'm trying to setup a good breeding colony). I am also interested in ALL other species to add to my collection. Prefer breeding trios but any pygs interest me :)...

Can anyone give me a technical explanation of how this works exactly? I've tried google searching and the boards...perhaps my search skills are fail... I know glass blocks some UV, but how much/what kind? In particular I am asking because I was considering using a glass cover for my...

So I'm trying my hand at "proper" incubation for once and my mama FINALLY laid 4 eggs and is in her hole all day again today.... I ran out to buy vermiculite...nobody carries it in southern orange country (wth? -.-) anyway prehistoric pets (ugh i hate pet stores) had some hatchrite so I got...

Hey all, First I want to say sorry if this is in the wrong place, I wasn't sure which forum to post to. As some of you know, I have been working on an LED UV light fixture and it has become a little more and more serious as of late...Along this line, I have also been consulting and...
