4 months and looking good
7/15/09, I got 6 Ambanja Panthers, all about the same size, all the same day. All have been set up on the same shelf, in the exact same type of cage. Everything was brand new. They are all on the same misting system. The only difference is the UV light. On 3 I...
Very well put. Inbreeding is thrown around here like its just something to do in your spare time. I personally feel there should be a real reason... a REAL reason. Not because you think you can make a more blue one, or one with 5 horns, or one with a super long toung... though I might like to...
Well, personally I was not happy with your response at all. I had gone back and read the whole thread, and found many cases to support what I had said, but I dont feel it gives any value to this subject. This isnt about you or I being correct. It was about if you could inbreed, and we all...
Yah, I saw that post. It is very good info. I had actually never heard of inbreeding depression before that book I posted. I just dont really have much reason to learn about it because its so easy to not do it.
these are great
I also have 1.1 from this clutch and love them. They look GREAT! Once again thanks! I actually cant belive you still have any of these. If I had more room I would take another female or two!
Here is a fuzzy (sorry) pic of the male eating today!
inbreeding is not ok
Ok I am a little late to this one, but as some people have asked for documented proof that this is bad I can point to some documented proof. I suggest all those who have not buy a copy of "The Panther Chameleon: Color Variation, Natural History, Conservation, and Captive...
agree to disagree
Well Jakedn, looks like we need to agree to disagree here. You might however be happy to know that after careful thought I am going to adjust the distance between the lights and cages.I will have around 6 inches between the top of the cages and the bulbs. If I see no...
Time will tell
No, but what I am saying is that I have seen none of those cases are showing any scientific method was used in the evaluation. It seems all of these people jumped illogically to the conclusion it was the CF. We all know chameleons are complex animals. The get many...
Time will tell
Well, I have read everything. I am not real sure the 5.0 lights are the problem. Infact the site that everyone uses as their definitive source actually has one case that switching from a 10.0 to a 5.0 solved the problem (http://www.uvguide.co.uk/caseGB.htm). On top of that I...
You know, I just ordered a bunch of Exo Terra 5.0 13 watt bulbs for my chameleons. Honestly, I dont know if I buy the results from the above mentioned "research" have anything to do with a 5.0 bulb or going through a screen. It sounds to me like every case would have been a bulb directly...
not so sure about co2
I used a co2 chamber for rats at one time. I will start by saying my design was sound and I went way out of my way to ensure it was functioning very well. I found that first off if not done properly they did suffer, and after more research I found it can burn their...
