It’s been a long time since I’ve ordered live silkies and those suppliers are now out of business. The only other option I can think of is checking at the local ReptiCon and other shows. I recently went to ReptiCon in Melbourne (space coast) and got there late, so most feeders were all sold out...

Friendly is not a word that is usually ever associated with our green friends from Yemen. I’m going to advise for you to continue to try hand feeding (try it with the desirable hornworms or silkworms). My veiled girl Stella has been with me for almost 7 years! She has and will not ever come out...

Hi. Sorry that you lost your Red. He was stunning! May he be enjoying the bounty of the hereafter. 💗 I have fully bioactive enclosures, but use root pouches to contain everything on drainage trays (ReptiBreeze), so can’t be of too much help there. However, I can link you to some products that...

Sometimes small bumps like those shown in the pics @LizardLurkin posted can be from calcium deposits and don’t ask me to explain how, but can be related to metabolic bone disease. I’m wondering more about the larger bump by his vent. Is that the area you are concerned about? It might be stuck...

You’ll need to have the shipment held at the hub/office of whatever shipping company is being used. I’m also in central Florida and I have my crickets mailed to me and pick them up at my local usps. You could also pay for overnight shipping if you wanted and make sure someone will be home to...

When it runs out of water, you need to unhook the water output tubing from the motor and then set it to run for a few seconds (over a bucket) to ‘bleed’ out the air. Turn it off and then put your output tubing back in. If it is running dry often, either set a calendar reminder for yourself or...

Ok…now I’m admitting to being very confused. The first pics you posted, going by the vertical bars, your chameleon looks male. I even thought I saw a blurry tarsal spur in one of the pics. But now with these recently posted pics, your chameleon does indeed look like a gravid female. @Motherlode...

I came to remind everyone to vote, and realized that I almost forgot to. 😂

Thanks! While it would be fun to have baby beardies running around, the eggs are infertile.

Umm…definitely not gravid. I’m pretty sure that your chameleon is a boy. A young boy of maybe around 6 months old or so, and still developing, but nonetheless a boy. That bulge by the vent - might be hemipenes. To confirm what I’m 90% sure of, look for spurs on the back feet like in the below...

The YT algorithm keeps reminding me how very incredible and awesome Freddy Mercury was…and f**k AIDS! It doesn’t matter how old you are or what generation you are of, if you have ears, you should know this song.

I haven’t yet received a report from a radiologist, but I did receive the latest x rays from my girl. The vet said she thought she saw a couple of eggs, but I’m just not seeing any. Granted, I’m not even close to educated in how to read bearded dragon X rays, but still…I can identify circles and...

Sorry to hear all of this. Maybe @jamest0o0 is interested. I wish you and your guy much luck.

We had to go back to the ER clinic. While we were waiting for X rays, her prolapse reduced itself, thank goodness! But…she seems to have more retained eggs. The X ray is going to be read by a radiologist to make sure. Hoping that she got all the eggs out already, or will be able to pass the last...

Aren’t chameleons and especially girl chameleons supposed to be the problem children? Well, for me it’s my bearded dragons. Currently my girl Electra is having a cloaca ‘spa’, aka sugar water vent soak. Let’s go back to the beginning. I’ve had Electra, my girl beardie for about 3 years or so...
