    Male Ambilobe Panther

    Unfortunately, I have to downsize my collection after moving into an apartment and have to sell my male blue-bar. He is about 20 months old and and doesn't mind being held. He is the most "social" chameleon I have seen. As soon as the cage is open he is running out to try and get food from you...

    Dead-eye

    Wow, so I have a rather overly food aggressive panther chameleon.... Whenever I come to the cage he immediately starts sticking his tongue out and running for the open door - as soon as I hold my hand out he will snatch whatever food I have. In general it is awesome to have a chameleon that...

    Think-Geek Incubator, LLLReptile Pro MR-148 Incubator

    I have seen many many posts asking about this type of incubator, so I thought I would give a short description of my experiences with them. I have only used the think-geek incubator but could not find any differences between it and the incubator sold by LLLreptile Size: If you really cram them...

    Where my taxonomists at? In need of clarification

    I will be presenting a lecture on the family Chameleonidae for a herpetology class at UGA in few weeks and I want to make sure I have my taxonomy correct. In most older books and papers I have found the family Chameleonidae divided into two subfamilies: Subfamily - Brookesiinae – Dwarf...

    Superpig, Naturose, Paprika - Do they work?

    Several of these "color brightners" have been on the market for some time, I was curious to see how many people have tried them on chams. My guess would be that a well-rounded diet & good lighting would yield the brightest cham colors. Anyone who has tried them have any good before and...

    A few of my herps...

    Just thought I would post a few photos. The ambilobe is about 11-12 months, can't decide if those blue bars are going to come out more or not. The female is checking out her studly man in the background! They aren't normally together, he was just getting a little loving and then going back to...

    Compact Flourescent Bulb-just curious

    I have heard time and time again that compact flourescent bulbs are bad for chameleon's eyes and they shouldn't be used. In the past I have used compact flourescent bulbs with other reptiles with no issues and also for chameleons for periods of under 6 months - with no issues. I don't use them...

    Ficus: Harming Chameleon's Eyes?

    My wife told me the other day that she read several articles about chameleons that listed that ficus was bad for them because it could cause eye infections (http://www.a1reptiles.net/VeiledChameleonCare.html). I have a ficus plant for my chameleon and have had no troubles. Has anyone here had...

    Repti Glo 5.0

    Has anyone ever used the repti glo 5.0 with success in chameleons? I have the compact version, but what is the difference between it and Zoo-med's repti-sun 5.0?
