If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

A brief history:
I purchased Leonardo form Kammerflage in January and had to wait for warm enough weather for him to get shipped to me in New England. He's a sambava panther chameleon and his sire is Poncho. Kammers sent me the largest and "calmest" from the clutch and I was the first in...

This is another installment in the monthly diary of what the 4 adult male chameleons ate (averaged). Females got essentially the same, only sometimes less quantity. On those days where two different bugs are listed, usually one was the morning meal and the other type was an afternoon meal. All...

So here I am trying to figure out how to blog and just what exactly "blogging" is. So far I think it is just writing ones thoughts down kind of like a diary but digital. I also think it is like a record of ones activities that can be about one specific thing or a wide range of topics relating...
I posted this in a thread and wanted to keep it for future reference!
