    pygmy tongue issues

    I have a wc and just acquired pygmy with tongue issues. It fires the tongue but the tongue droops so it never hits. I was able to shove a few bean beetles into its mouth which it ate but I doubt that is good long run. Could this cham just be dehydrated? Looks outwardly ok.

    FS Bean beetles Southern Californa

    Bean beetle cultures for $5 in Socal...I can do multiple cultures that are booming with lots of beetles. These are great food for hatchlings and pygmy chams and very simple to culture. I'd prefer pickup, but can ship. In that case, you will receive beans with eggs on them-beetles will...

    Outdoor enclosures?

    Does anyone here have any experience or ability to advise on outdoor enclosures for chameleons? I am in LA County and wonder if Jackson's chameleon would be doable(I understand feral populations have been found in Morro Bay, SLO, and LA County). On the other hand...do people here who keep...
