    Here we go again.

    There are many animals in need of homes available for modest fees from rescues. I think something like a ball python could be hardy enough for a classroom and there are certainly many in need of homes. It’s an opportunity for teaching so many values by rescuing. If this teacher does show up...

    He hasn’t been around for quite some time. Last time he posted anything was December of 2023.

    Hello!

    Jalapeno is looking great and I love your skink, Valentine. 💗 I bet @kinyonga might have kept a blue tongue and has some tips.

    My veiled girl refuses food

    Sweet girl. They work so very hard to lay their eggs. 💗 Just curious how many eggs she laid.

    How to safely move a chameleon in winter

    Yes, you want to secure at least one branch for her to hold on to. Here’s the box I just used to transport mine to the vet. I used a branch that had a bend and zip tied it to the box and poked a hole to stick the other side out. I poked several small air holes so she could breath but not a lot...

    My veiled girl refuses food

    If it’s that hot in your apartment in summer, she may not need a basking light at all, or just for a short time in the early part of the day. The most important thing is to keep her ventilation at its peak when it’s so hot. Misting will only make it steamy for her, which can increase her risk...

    How to safely move a chameleon in winter

    Well, you just have to bite the bullet and move her. It may be less stressful for her if you put her in a dark box while you’re doing what you need to do and until you have her enclosure set back up at the new place. Generally they sleep once in the dark. However, as I recently learned, make...

    My veiled girl refuses food

    Hi! 🙂 So glad your little green honey has started digging. Your husbandry looks quite good. I’ll go thru it just to be nit-picky, but you’re doing fine. Btw, I’m no where near a master of anything - I just listen well to those with experience, consolidated their knowledge and guidance and wrote...

    Concerned about panther chameleons face

    Poor little sweetheart. 🥺 Did the vet speculate on what could have caused the injury? I’ll be keeping your little cutie in my prayers for speedy and thorough healing. 🙏💗

    A year of us

    She’s so pretty. 🤗 Chameleons are similar to chickens in that they will produce eggs (infertile) without even seeing a male. She does have her big girl colors/patterns so she is mature enough. The best advice I can give is to be prepared for her to lay whenever she may need to. Keep a lay bin...

    Never been happier to see poop!!!

    Yay poop! 🥳 It does look like it’s a bit dry. Maybe add some silkworms or hornworms to his regular diet…maybe try giving his feeders higher moisture or fiber content foods (pumpkin, apple, etc) and see if that helps. I’d guess the brown goop is just mucous which helped lubricate the passage...

    Another Casque Update…

    He certainly was in rough shape. 😢 While he isn’t capable of thanking you for not just saving his life, but giving him his best life possible, there’s no doubt he appreciates everything. 💗
