Leos are my new thing...I've been reading everything I can get my hands on concerning their genetics.
The Black pearls..ok lets forgo the "trade" name and call them melano or melanistic (Black pearl is the morph name from the guy who first produced them), are ok looking and personally I...
Indeed... I see your point for sure. Please don't take my remarks as "my thoughts on the law of genetics" I'm just very curious to hear (read) your thoughts on this....as even you can't say my thoughts are preposterous. As far fetched as they may be......It's still very possible...
And is it...
Good advice!!!
Listen, your cham can shoot his tongue pretty far. I've seen a six month old veiled shoot over 8 inches.!!! :eek:
So with that said, if you get close enough for him to feel the need to lunge at you, then you are too close! Try backing off a bit. It can take a just a couple...
Ah yes...wile a hundred and twenty plus squar miles sounds very large...and indeed it is...Chams being the type of animal that don't tend to travel great distances. Meaning if things needed for survival, are provided close to their location, they seldom travel great distances. If you calculate...
Sorry, things move so fast on this site..I ask or bring up a lot of things and don't get a chance to respond cause they have moved out of the main point of view to fast...
What I was really getting at has little to do with them being related due to being captured in the same tree. It has more...
If you "must" have some sort of substrate, you can use sphagnum moss. or pure organic dirt, or sand. Just know that impaction is of greater concern with dirt and even more so with sand. With sand it has to do with the jagged edges of the individual crystals making up the sand you see. They tend...
Wile this looks like it will work...It's rather unsightly (no offense)
I can see I need to take some pics of my current setups.
to be continued tomorrow........
Siting out back of Boca Raton Comm Hospital (their employee smoking area) I've seen scores and scores of iguanas, and on the rare occasion, massive Cuban night anoles. They have a bench sitting under one of those odd native trees that have roots coming from the upper canopy down to the ground...
Actually studies have shown that body builders, when competing, are actually so dehydrated that they are at the weakest points of their lives. They have to drop so much water weight to get their veins and the muscle definition to show like that. It's very unhealthy.
There is a reason why guys...
HMMPH, goes to show I need to read the pic contest/cham forums more, I was unaware these were even out yet.
I'm also having issues with the link you sent us to Jann
It's been recently discovered here and published on Melleri discovery that males can sometime s evert their hemipenis wile defecating.
Brye has a way he "thinks" works (no offense Brye) but I've yet to see and real proof that his method of sexing them is accurate.
To the OP, A WC Melleri...
With time you can get him used to your hand. Once he has settled down (like JJ said a week or two) Start by offering him food items by hand. Super worms and other nutritional worms such as silk, or hornworms are great for this. Just let the worm sit in the palm of your hand and slowly move your...
Well up here in Jvill my vet charges like 50 bucks or so for the office visit and consultation. and 19 bucks for a fecal and deworming meds. After he sees them once, he will do just fecals without having to bring them in again.
Fecals are really about the only periodic checkup I would do. if...
Myself and plenty others have raised baby veileds in these. Of course it won't do him for much longer than 5-6 months. After he gets around that age he will need something larger. To help with ventilation you can put a small fan on the top pulling (not blowing in) out air.
Once he gets...
Forgive me as I don't know the whole story here, but is it just me or does antibiotic injections seem a lil over kill? Wouldn't rub on antibiotic cream be enough? At the most some oral ones?
edit: He may be peeved, but he is gorgeous!
lol
You know, it's a real shame. I was watching this program about their over fishing practices. An ichthyologist was inspecting the blue fin tuna at the largest fish market in the world (in Japan) and could not find a tuna that was over 3-4 years old. She was remarking about how just 5 years...
