Hello ppl! Had a busy few months so only getting round to uploading some of these now.
My little (tri)Sarah(tops) had her first clutch hatch in November and these are some of the pics I've gone through/edited. Still a few batches to go so will upload once I get some time. Saving the best to...
Finally got round to taking some snaps of my two Damaranum.
Besides for the far left (slightly excited) these are their relaxed colours.
You'll notice in the pic on the far right that they sometimes get this chunky polar-neck look when they hang down at certain angles.
She is also doing her...
Ahoy!
Just a quick one I wanted to share that has been working really well for my little ones. Next time you are at the store pick up a few of those cheap foil packs of seeds such as the mixed salad greens and herbs. Then just sprinkle them on the soil on the tops of your pots and cover with...
Hello all! I'm planning a cycle trip to Madagascar this September with a friend of mine. We are going to fly into the capital (Tana) and then cycle east to the coast and then north to the tip of the island before heading down to Nosy Be to fly home. We have a rough plan to do the 1500km or so...
Hello all, hope you and yours are all well. Been awhile since I posted so I wanted to share a few pics and thoughts on my newest. She was offered to me by a good friend/breeder and since she was the runt of the clutch I could not say no :D I dare say that after a few months in the sun she is now...
Hello all, been a bit since I've been to the forums, hope everyone and their little ones are doing well.
Looking for a suitable species of tree that loves full sun. Been battling a bit with my ficus' , some of them were taking strain (losing leaves, black spot etc.) and I couldn't figure out...
I ordered a Zilla digital hygrometer/thermometer a couple months back and when it arrived the humidity wouldn't display properly. Its a bit of a mission to send send things all the way to South Africa so I just left it as I haven't had much time recently (animation work and qualifying as...
This could just as well be an article on wild caught chameleons. Regardless of the restrictions and legislation in your own country, if it's sourced from a 3rd world country, there is a very good chance the resource is being blatantly abused and mismanaged despite of local laws.
If you are...
It's been awhile since I've managed to catch Rex in his fired up colors, he always dulls once he sees the camera and gets distracted. Not so happy with this one as the light was quite low so had to tweak it up a bit.
I have a 8 month old female Damaranum who is a chronic sleepwalker. :D
She will change position in her tree 2 or 3 times some nights, moving 20cm or more each time up or down several branches with her eyes closed. Quite a distance for her size.
Initially she was one of the the babies I was...
Just want to check my maths RE: diluting Baytril for Rex.
His damn mouth rot is back, it seems to relapse every 6 months now regardless of what I do :mad:
Same feeders and conditions for all my chams but Rex is the only one who seems to be sensitive to it.
I got my herp vet to fax the...
Hello all, been awhile, been busy but still pop in to check the forums as often as I can just haven't really had time to take photos or post recently.
Two questions about bugs eating my plants.
I have an awesome schleffera which has started to lose it leaves due to red spider mites. What...
Firstly I have a ficus, not sure exactly which one, it has the darker green leaves and more of a weeping willow type structure to it. Recently it has started to lose leaves, they go yellow and fall off and this seems to be happening at random through out the tree to new leaves and old leaves...
Here is an update of my damaranum family.
The first is my pride and joy Miss Basil. She has either retained sperm and is pregnant or is getting fat on wild insects.
The next 3 are of Rex who is one of the 2 babies I kept from her last clutch. You may recall a similar pic I posted a few...
Here are a few of the critters that came to visit us at our place in Mozambique in December. No Chameleons unfortunately but the area is not really suited to them. The geckos would come out and sit around the lights waiting for the inevitable nightly feast to begin. The one night a massive...
Following up on our "Do Chameleons have memory?" discussion I wanted to discuss the possibility of territorial marking and scent and its effect on chameleons. Just to reiterate it was suggested that chameleons use taste as a way of identifying their surroundings.
I have 5 different trees that...
