I bought the setup with a chameleon last year and ended up having to sell the chameleon for the future of the rare species. The man (chameleopatrick) who set it up was a professional chameleon breeder and hobbyist for over 20 years, and this tank was his masterpiece. The entire setup cost over...
Hello! I have a beautiful, healthy Peretti female named Aura (I bought her from Chuck at Heroic chameleons in November). I have been keeping her with a male, and they bred on March 5 (I saw them :rolleyes:). She is definitely gravid with fertile eggs. She is about 1.5-2 years old. This species...
Thank for the response. We've been supplementing with calcium almost every day for 2 months and she doesn't appear to have that bending of the arms in the pictures. We have a really great vet we can take her to tomorrow...
Hello! My peretti female is definitely gravid and has been so for over a month. I have the pot with the soil in it as directed, but she keeps falling off of branches in the tank. She has been falling up to 15 times a day!!! Sometimes she will climb back up via the foam back of the tank but...
Okay, so it was a prolapse. He was tested via fecal matter for parasites and it came back negative. So, most likely there was a mating attempt yesterday and since it had been so long for him, his hemipenes got stuck outside. So, they put him in a luke warm soak and were able to get it back...
Thanks for the helpful advice! It looked about the same this morning (a tiny bit better) and I put Vaseline on it. He has an appointment with the vet this afternoon. I will keep you guys posted!
What would a shower entail? Taking him out or spraying him inside the tank?
Yes, they're together 24/7. Patrick said to do this since they've a very docile species and the tank is so large for them- it's a large tank (36" tall x 18" deep x 36" wide) and this is a small species (~4"). I only...
Hello! I have had my peacock (Peretti- that I got from ChameleoPatrick) for a few weeks now and everything has been going well. He eats a lot of variety, and is well hydrated (though tonight he just drank A LOT). On Wednesday we brought home a female and put her in the tank with him. There were...
Lol- I just got my boy on Wednesday and it looks like his mate is coming this Wednesday (weather permitting). I got his whole setup along with him so I figured why not? Just one extra mouth to feed and she should make him really really happy!
Have you guys checked craigslist? There's often...
It sounds like you're taking excellent care of him and he's lucky to have you! Do you have any pictures?
Reptar is a great name!
BTW- I have heard that concern quite a bit about the waterfall as well.
I am planning to breed my Trioceros Peretti "Peacock". I have ordered a female for my male and if weather permits she will be here on Wednesday. Exciting!!!
