Senegal breeding basics?

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Okay, a few more things, sorry guys I'm so curious!

In my petsmart the fruit flies that are sold look like fleas with wings. They'd escape a mesh screen top so how would that work?

They don't really get out too bad. You may have a few lucky ones slip through, but for the most part they don't last long enough to make it out before being consumed. If you get the melanogaster fruit flies, they're a lot smaller.

At my petsmart we only one a choice of a vial about 2 inches high, 1 inch in diameter with flea sized fruit flies. Guess I could order some online. Possibly breeding my male Senegal with md19's female Senegal.

oh awsome. i hope you do!

My dad isn't too happy about the thought of some strange 19 yr old dude coming to my house though.

 

[okiroo]

haha! understandable. he should call and talk to your parents set a date time/ ect. he should be ready in case she doesnt accept him the fisrt try and he can go stay at a motel. you know? i really wish i had the female. much better to have a strange 17 year old girl. were much less intimatadeing XD

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I'm only 14 haha. There is a motel right outside my neighborhood but I doubt he'd want to have to pay just to breed our chams. I'd also want the eggs with me just because I'd feel safer that way.

 

[okiroo]

well im shure he plans on takeing his cham back with him. and the eggs will be in her. hahaha. what r u getting out of it?

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

We agreed we'd split the eggs and money, and he said he wants to ship his cham to me.

 

[okiroo]

ship her? okidoki. thats not good for a cham going to have babies id think. he going to send her when shes receptive?

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

No idea, my mom ruled out the thought of shipping. Don't know what they think we're gonna do.

 

[okiroo]

well if it were a succes (by the time there hatched and ready to go) id want to drive up their and pick one up. i want another cham in the nexy year year and a half probally. i was thinking a little hoe but who knows! i might end up with a zoo ^^

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I hope so! I know a neighbor who loves reptiles and always visits my Karma, I'd give her one. I would need homes for all the others too though.

 

[okiroo]

i dont think you'll have a problem with that. matter of fact id like to set up now and wait a good while before i get a new cham. just so i gatta look look look than buy. how much were u thinking of selling?

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I don't know, you could offer. Not many people want Senegals because of their lack of rainbowy colors and small size.

 

[okiroo]

awh thats what makes them so cute. there like babies 4ever

 

[MD19]

ship her? okidoki. thats not good for a cham going to have babies id think. he going to send her when shes receptive?

Haha, hello. Yeah I never planned on showing up to karma's house lol. I know people who have shipped reptiles before and the idea is a few months away so we have time to figure out how things will be done.

 

[okiroo]

y not? that'd be more normal. i think. idk mabey its just me hahaha. on the other hand driveing to random peoples houses does scare me(had to do a few times due to comissions)

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Mom ruled out the shipping she said she doesn't want me to have responsibility for someone else's cham. She has low trust in anyone.

Understandable. Maybe she'll soften up over the coming months. My parents used to hate the idea of me having anything other than fish...Since then I've been parent to mountain horned dragons, tarantulas, centipedes, a sugar glider, a cockatiel and now a chameleon. Granted I'm about to move into my house for the semester but still.
