Not sure if this is hilarious, terrifying, tragic or what…maybe a little bit of all of the above. 😂

Many fear the process of shipping, but it is as safe as can be and a good breeder won’t take chances if the weather or other conditions aren’t just right. All of the breeders who sponsor the forums are excellent and have worked hard and earned their great reputations and create healthy and...

Dear Lord! In another time, I would have said you needed to burn the house to the ground! After living in roach central (aka Florida) and keeping insectivores it’s amazing how drastically perspectives change.

That is just the natural color of his mouth. No cause at all for concern. Even some vets get wrongly concerned about yellow mouths, but that’s just the color.

Yay pirate bugs! 🥳 From what I just read, if they start biting you, it means they’ve got little to no other food left and are just tasting you.

It means she’s maturing into an adult. Has she been restless or more active than usual? Generally with the onset of developing their colors/patterns, they have their first receptive period (all dressed up and looking for a cute boy). If you haven’t already set up a lay bin for her, now is the...

Wow! You went for lucky number 7. 😂 I don’t know of any basking lights that daisy chain, but I know who might - https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/ contact Todd and ask and he’ll surely know.

Yeah…sorry. Looks like the whole site has migrated to Facebook and Instagram. I didn’t know. 😕 Try this…I know it works. https://members.arav.org/search/custom.asp?id=3661 What I do is read the info on the doctors of the clinic to see who has a special interest in exotics. If I google, often...

Are you sure they are discoids? There are some other roaches (not sure what type - maybe palmetto bugs?) that look an awful lot like adult discoids. The only way that I can tell that they aren’t is the few I’ve found, I’ve caught in a tall deli cup and they are superb climbers. Discoids suck at...

I don’t know if this will be of any help to you. For routine things, like wellness checks and fecals, pretty much any exotics vet will suffice. For a vet with more experience and knowledge with chameleons, you may need to travel a bit. Btw, I don’t think the weather anywhere is making sense.

Hibiscus is safe, but requires a strong plant light. Also, it’s best to clean it thoroughly down to bare root to eliminate any hitchhiking pests (usually ants). My veiled lady loves her hibiscus and in her prime would eat them down to the nub. My other girl just nibbled. Whether yours is a...

The name Bug has been on the list of possibilities. What is that about great minds…. 😂 Thanks so much. 🥰

That looks like just a crease. If he was gaping before the superworm, then it likely is something else. I looked back and you had your husbandry checked by @Beman who is awesome, so it doesn’t seem that could be any problem there. Honestly, I’m at a loss. Is the sun shining in on him thru a...

Mouth rot is basically a wound in the mouth. You would see possibly a small amount of drainage or what looks like a scab on/near the mouth, possibly a divot or a swelling, dark spot in the mouth where there shouldn’t be along the gum line, reluctance to eat, especially crunchier bugs. I’ve...

Thanks! I’m unbelievably happy to have them. 🥰 It’s hard being a cat lady without any cats.
