    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    As of mid June, all of the eggs have molded over. I've cut a few open and there is no activity in any of them... I'm disappointed, but it was probably the best outcome. I'm not really ready to keep another cham, let alone a whole litter, so I'm glad the eggs were mostly infertile. Thanks for...

    Holy cow, he's massive! He's got to be one of the best panthers I've ever seen.

    Calumma brevicorne eggs for Valentines 😊

    How amazing! Your girl is absolutely stunning, I'm sure her babies will be too! Where did you find the data on incubation times? I'm currently incubating a clutch of Calumma malthe, a sister species, and I just hit the 8 month mark. with very little activity until just this past month. It...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    Eight months into incubation now. During that time, I kept them under a dresser in my basement where the air temperature was 68f during the day and 65 at night. In November, I moved them to atop my grow terrarium, where the heat from the lights kept them at a consistent 74f during the day, with...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    Purely because the cages have to be in my bedroom for the time being, and I am in there quite a lot. I've been using headphones when I listen to stuff to negate noise, but I just wanted to be safe. I had, however, left the cover off several times and it didn't seem to bother her all that much...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    I didn't notice anything strange, no. She had had less of an appetite since she laid her eggs, but she would still eat and drink every day. She just finished shedding yesterday. However, I also keep her cage covered throughout the day, so there could have been things that I missed. So sorry...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    The fair lady has passed on. She gave a good fight, but it appears that she had one last egg left over that was the death of her. Before I palpated her and figured this out, I gave her water with electrolytes and she took them well, it seemed to give her some more energy (I made sure to put...

    Feeder Grasshopper Expansion

    Georgia is kind of in the middle of the Southeast, so it may be a good bet. I know lots of reptile keepers in the area, and it's one of the states that folks are mass-moving to right now so the numbers will only grow.

    wild caught hornworms grown out in captivity?

    Thanks for the tips! This would be a fun project, I love breeding and propagating things, so breeding hornworms would be right up my alley. I'll give it a shot!

    wild caught hornworms grown out in captivity?

    Heyo, I was recently given some hornworms off of my sister's tomato plant for my lizards. They were all less than 1/3" when I got them, so they were hatclings, and I grew them out to 1/2" with leaves from my own tomato plant. However, I know that feeding them this way long-term will make them...

    Beautiful Male Yellow Giant

    Good gracious! The yellows on this beast are insane!! If my Malthe eggs hatch, I may have to trade some in for a baby dragon!

    My first post! Getting my first chameleon on Saturday! Last minute questions...

    I will have to second this. I've never been lucky enough to find a healthy chameleon of any type at an expo, they are almost all wild caught, sickly males from Florida. There are many great breeders who sponsor the forum, and at many great price points depending on what you are looking for...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    I went to a fancy Pikes nursery and two separate Home Depots, after asking around it seems like it just isn't popular enough for the stores to profit. I'll order a bag online, but for now the perlite seems safe. I rinsed and strained it to get out the dusty particles too. Back when I started...

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    Ok, apparently nobody sells vermiculite anymore. I went ahead and bought a bag of perlite (I needed some anyway), and from my reading on here it seems to be a viable option as well. Are there any cons to using Perlite over Vermiculite?

    This is very scary...this has to be a joke...

    It said to TIE it to the string? I thought they meant to lead it around like a cat!

    Thanks! I would love to set up a free range someday, I'm sure they would love it!

    My project with Calumma Malthe, Emerald Eared Chameleon

    Thanks my friend! They look great today. It's a weight off my chest now that she's gotten them all out! I just can't wait until I can get the properly accommodated. I'm getting vermiculite today, so I will lay them out properly and be done messing with them.
