    Storing silkworm eggs ?

    I’m constantly amazed by how much info others know about silkies. When I’ve looked, I’ve only really found stuff about the silk making process, and I really hate how that is done. Maybe I’ve just been looking in the wrong places or wrongly passing over the good info.

    is my female veiled chameleon storing eggs?

    Sounds like she’s in her receptive phase…so she’s developing her big girl colors/patterns and searching for a mate. It’s hard to tell age, as once they achieve their adult size, there’s nothing really to go by. Some girls never really reach their reproductive state, so don’t develop their...

    is my female veiled chameleon storing eggs?

    Hi. I find it hard to tell from tummy size or even when there may be visible little lumps. I go by colors and behaviors. She does seem to be getting her big girl colors, so she is probably starting her reproductive cycle and egg production. Each girl has her own unique colors/patterns which as...

    Hoo boy! Tick tock! I hope others have better memories and/or less procrastination than I do and have been getting their pics taken and submitted.

    Puffy eyes

    So, unless it’s dark, she shouldn’t be sleeping. Looking back at some of your posts, she has gone to bed early at times, but since she is having a health issue of some sort with her eye, I’m going to skip over everything and go right to advising you to take her to a vet and sooner is always...

    Chromatophoromas in Reptiles...

    Stella is well over 7 years old now, so I’m not going to have a biopsy or anything like that. I am considering having it frozen though if that may halt the wound from spreading out larger. I have no idea how much longer my beloved girl will be with me. However long it may be, I don’t want her to...

    Discussion on Starting with Chameleons

    I work nights on weekends, so always miss your live sessions. I barely even knew what a chameleon looked like when I agreed to take my stepdaughter’s. It was frustrating to find so many different bits of conflicting husbandry. I had to go with common sense, which landed me here on the forum...

    Puffy eyes

    I love her name! Yeah…they like to become one with their branches when faced with the predator phonus cameratus.

    Storing silkworm eggs ?

    I’ve found that almost all of mine turn dark within a few days. Once they do, in the fridge they go for a few months. I think it’s only been once that I had a batch from one moth hatch while I was waiting for them to darken. It was a surprise as at the time, I didn’t even know they could. It was...

    Are you able to get any clearer pics?

    Chromatophoromas in Reptiles...

    I knew @kinyonga must have posted something about this, and sure enough she did. 🥰 Sorry Lynda, but I’m hijacking this post. Reviving this as the ‘papilloma’ that my sweet/spicy Stella has had for the past couple of years has recently changed and was unofficially identified by a great vet as a...

    Storing silkworm eggs ?

    ^^^ 100%. I use wax or parchment paper for the moths to emerge onto and lay the eggs on. To try and keep things contained, I will place a small paper or plastic cup (with small air hole poked) over the mating pair. This also helps the happy couple not be disturbed by the single males. Once they...

    What species is my panther and How old is it?

    Exact locality and age are usually something one obtains from the breeder. I agree with @BleuSaphir about locality. Age is maybe a young adult or sub-adult…at least maybe around 6-7 months if not older. He’s got his full colors, and does look like he still has a bit of growing larger to do. He...

    Should I buy a female panther chameleon

    I love the beautiful panther ladies in all of their pretty colors. They are smaller than the males, of course, but still need adequate space. Even though she is the smallest of my chameleons, I have my girl in a double sized (4x4x2’) enclosure and she does use all of the space. Those chameleons...

    Yay! Just sold the last of my extra gecko tanks! Not only a bit of reclaimed garage space and a few $$, but no longer the temptation to get more geckos to fill those tanks. Yay!

    I finally did it

    Looking fantastic! 😍 While that spot on the upper right may look a little empty now, it won’t stay that way for very long. Train some of your lower pothos upwards towards there and the leaves should grow nice and big and fill that space beautifully. 😊

    Is it real?

    Truly, the very best things to feed chameleons are a variety of proper size feeder insects, such as those below in the graphic. The second graphic is the best food items to feed to the insects to keep them healthy and nutritious. While veiled chameleons will eat plant and vegetable matter, it...

    Is it real?

    Probably is real, but is certainly wrong. There are some who for whatever reason will on infrequent occasion give their chameleon a mouse, it is most commonly (and correctly for a chameleon of this size) a pinkie. The size of this rodent is much too large for the chameleon to eat. While he may...
