    Chester has RI.

    I am so beyond sad to tell you chester is sick. I noticed him opening his mouth on the weekend during a extra hot day. I assumed it was because of the heat.

    Philodendron safe or not?

    I am wondering if philodendron is a safe plant to have? I see a lot of "yes"s and a lot of "no"s. I know its toxic to cats/dogs because they will tend to take a bite out of it more. I have a panther chameleon who has never taken a bite out of any plant, so would a philodendron be safe? For...

    How much should he eat?

    It feels like my ambilobe panther has an infinite stomach. He is 4 months, small boy, but can eat non stop. Yesterday he ate 15 small /medium crickets and 5 SFL. When i worked at a petstore the BIG beardies would eat like 20-25 (large) crickets. How much should I expect him to eat?
