Warning: A show-off post follows…
In all seriousness, I thought I’d share some pics/ideas for all the outdoor keepers. Outdoor chameleon enclosures don’t just have to be cages; they can become part of the landscape. Large enclosures, heavily planted, can be used to section off private sitting...
Just a bunch of random pics from today. Finally got off my butt and dig some greenhouse maintenance. Anyways, enjoy! And know if it wasn’t for the community support I received here, I wouldn’t have been able to become so hopelessly obsessed.
Heads up chammers: Bill Strand will be interviewing Michael Nash live on YouTube tomorrow morning at 8 AM PST (so like 10-noon for the civilized). They’ll discuss raising hatchling chameleons in bioactive enclosures.
Just so all you south of the border know: when we Canadians select “canada English” on our devices, the keyboard spell checks according to Canadian spelling. So, colour, neighbour, favour, labour, etc. are not typos. 😂
What are the consequences to the hobby if the new genetics project undertaken by Jonathan Hill and Benson Morrill, reveals widespread mixed-locale genetics among the captive population of pardalis?
I hope this post is allowed. Jonathan Hill at iPardalis is fundraising for a panther locale genetics project. Breeders and keepers will be able to send in genetic samples to assess the purity of their cham’s locale genetics.

Is anyone around right now? I swear there used to be an approved vendors list here, but I can’t find it. Am I going insane?…wait…don’t answer that…Am I wrong about the above mentioned?

I’ve been critical of other venues for Cham talk in the past, and the forums will always hold a special place in my heart. But sometimes I encounter such obvious wisdom that I long for more cross pollination, so to speak. Suggest the forums on some FB groups and the results are disappointing...
I know I’m a ghost lately, so my apologies. Just thought I’d share some pics of the new neonate set up. We can now individually raise up to 80 babies!!!
For anyone who raises cowpea weevils (aka bean beetles) I’m wondering what you think about the following :
before setting up the culture, boil black eyed peas in calcium water, then dehydrate the calcium impregnated beans. Then use in a culture.
Well folks, here’s what we put in our latest gutload:
10lbs of high calcium greens:
- collards
- dandelion
- mustard
- watercress
- escarole
other veg:
- butternut squash
- sweet potato
- carrot
- red bell pepper
- pumpkin
fruit:
- papaya
- prickly pear
- apple
- grapefruit
- blackberries
-...
