Thanks for the info, im gonna have to replace them asap then, theres an upcoming expo where prices may be alot cheaper here so ill do it then.
Peace :cool:
I would get tax/credit on it if i was in America but here in South Africa i dont think we get.
U cant be serious bout 6 months, on the actual box says 1 year minimum...
ill have to replace soon then :mad:
Thanks for your time guys
it seems we would need to import if we wanted any specific species, i heard of a few types (jacksons) but ive only physically seen ambilobes, veileds, ambanja(rare).
Lets hope the upcoming expos have a few more species, its important we get more in cause atm all the ppl buying dont know...
will try to, gotta get better pics taken. Gonna buy a better camera :)
Pietermaritzburg ey.
A little drive away (580km's) :p i stay outside Johannesburg, Bryanston Area :).
Sorry to sidetrack the conversation but speaking of lights, anyone know what the lifespan is for these 5.0 uvb tube lights, it says a year on the boxes but im sure they can last a little longer than that?
plus in SA u pay through ur arse to get these lights :(
i pay round about R450-00...
Currently i have 3 males and 2 females :D. the one female laid this batch of eggs in june and the other female im waiting on to get a little older to breed her.
I have a good friend though who i do this with and he has 3 females and one male.
This was my 1st clutch though, i only started...
hopefully i havent done damage to my babies!! i really didnt think it was that hot. I reckon i was neglecting it a lil cause been busy!
U think the eggs that are half white will make it if i drop the temp asap, or if any will make it...
Problem is at night temp drops. there is a big temp...
Re:
well my incubator is basically a big polestyrene box with water in, with fish tank heaters in the water.
with the eggs sitting just above the water on bricks in a container with moist vermiculite in.
I think the prob is my set ups outside in a big barn and the temperature outside now...
Hey everyone
Ive had a batch of 32 veiled chameleon eggs for about 3 months now and was wanting to get some info on the the way the eggs look. When i first put them in they were all very white, looking at them now 5 or 6 have started to look like u can see inside half of the egg...
I think it would be best if u keep trying with them. My female spent a good few weeks hissing at my male who would display himself to her as she was quite obviously just scared of him but after several attempts she finally gave in to him and they mated.
My male also seemed to butt his head at...
Ur female clearly has done the deed several times. I think ur being a little impatient. My female bred three times and was receptive a few days after that but if they have mated like 3 times then she will def be fertile and now u just w8 for her to get fat :D.
Good Luck!
Does it make a big difference on what to put in a laying bin for the female? Besides sand/soil that is harmful. I mean if u put potting soil play sand etc... What is the best?
Makes me think what else these guys can eat?
Any1 else got some interesting feeders that i could possibly try here in South Africa?
I probably have every type of bug known to man over here lol jks XD
After much inspection of the photos that cham has definitely got some sort of growth or mutation on his tail. Def not a burn lol. Lets wait and see what the vet says.
Please let us know. Would be very informative!
Did that just show up randomly one day or has it been progressively growing, It looks similar to a burn mark, anything in his cage he can get burnt on?
If it has slowly grown on him then i suggest you take him to see an expert asap. It my be something harmful that could lead to his demise...
The chams colour definitely lets u in on its mood, its unlikely that if the cham is his correct natural colour when not basking that their is a problem.
So personally i think that when the cham is its natural colour it has been correctly treated and therefore should not have any problems...
how old is your cham, chameleons when they are young will generally shoot their tongue out as far as it can go but as chameleons grow older they learn to use less of their tongue.
If your chameleon is quite old then he might have learnt to shoot less of his tongue and will come closer to his...
Ye i reckon im gonna make my own really neat, nice looking cage from wood and screen, then ill import cages to sell maybe in the future :D. When thats set up maybe ill get a few imported cages. ty for all the advice evry1!
