Helloooo.
Joined the forum in 2006 but have never been active on it. I'm in British Columbia and I had a pair of veileds for 8 years and both died last summer, so now after missing them so much, I've decided to get a trio of Ambilobes in May. I kept some pygmy chams in the past as well, and would like to get some more eventually to keep in some large dart frog vivariums.
Just wondering if there are any good threads you guys would suggest reading on new and innovative husbandry topics/techniques. It's been a few years since I did DAYS and days of research on chameleons, so if anything new has come up in discussion in the last few years I'd love to read it.
One thing I'd like to know about is the UVB output of standard (cheap) compact fluorescent bulbs. I like the idea of those because they can be focused on the basking spot where the chameleon spends most of its time instead of a long tube where you don't know if they are getting adequate exposure.
I also keep dart frogs, basilisks, crested geckos, some crested river dragons, several species of feeder roaches, red eye treefrogs, and tomato frogs, getting some crocodile skinks soon, and hoping to get more into montaine species of chameleons and Phelsumas as well.
If anyone knows where I could get some Ch. montiums, quardicornis, jacksonii or johnstonii in CANADA, I would really appreciate any leads!
