That is false. I am incubating my 6th generation of ybbb, and I am reasonably confident in the fact that that is what they will be without doing any inbreeding. Why? Research and I have an understanding of their genetics/lineage. I encourage you to actually read the two blogs (above) - I address...

Now, imagine being a breeder lol ;)

Given that the ascaridae were killing 50% of the Crested Geckos, I assume that was a one-off thing with high mortality. It would be interesting to know if they could persist in a CB population or if that is a dead-end host for them.

Here's the real link. The paper which discusses the Uroplatus ascarid attacking Crested Geckos is here.

They will spread if they are in the same room. Even a small spider moving from one cage to the next or a small fly will move things around. Sanitation is key but it will just reduce the chance of contagion, not eliminate it.

Yep - it is very easy to drift way off track pretty quickly (Ralph is just two gens removed from Jude). The main challenge is in the females because you can waste a ton of time proving them out, so having a decent estimate for what they are carrying can save you a ton of time.

I have a feeling these articles were a bit less accessible than I should have made them. There is and never will be anything similar about panther chameleon genetics and ball pythons. There are no known or discoverable dominant/co-dominant/recessive color traits. The first article addresses...

Ponazuril is the only Coccidia treatment approved by the FDA for treating horses... which is about as good as we're going to get for chameleons lol

It doesn't get into specific species of parasites - just talks about the parasites at the genus level, so the paper doesn't get into the origin of the parasite species, sadly. This is extremely common in these pet trade parasite surveys. I did see that reference to a uroplatus ascaridoid...

I would love to hear more about the crested gecko parasites, whether they were North American parasites or just parasites that have persisted in the cb population from New Caledonia. My guess is they are from the homeland as well and not an opportunistic North American species jumping into the...

Rare Genetics Inc. is in the process of finalizing a locale genetics test which we helped crowdfund and design. As a part of that project, they have done dozens of full DNA sequences of Furcifer pardalis. The cost has come way down to the point where a hobbyist can do full genomic sequences with...

Glad you snagged a well-started juvenile - that is how it should be done.

Trolls are people who come onto a sales post and talk about how they're going to buy something inferior in an attempt to get you to drop your price when you're already charging only 60% of the animal's value. Matt's done an amazing job on this pairing, and he could charge much more for them...

I hope it doesn't have too many holes in it. Would love to see if there are parts that are more difficult to follow!

I've put out two posts on breeding Panther Chameleons (Furcifer pardalis). The first post is a technical argument for how they inherit their color followed by a practical discussion about what this means for a selective breeding project. Furcifer pardalis Body Color Inheritance Theory...

Probably not worth responding to trolls who joined the website 2 weeks ago with comments like that. They're just trying to low-ball you.

I guess all I am saying is this drinking off the floor or from a puddle behavior isn't very interesting to me. I have seen a juvenile drink water mixed with a fresh poop on an otherwise sterile floor. They're not smart enough to avoid dirty water, and I doubt he thought it was a healthy choice...

That guy is insane... usually, when someone says they are going against a non-existant religion, they have a pitifully weak intellect which can be overwhelmed by even the smallest ego. He has an ego to boot, so he is a lost cause.

Congrats Michael!

We have males and females from our 4th and 5th generation of Ambilobe Panthers available: ipardalis.com. Plenty of great yellow bodied blue bar Ambilobe to choose from :) These are two that we are making available. We would be keeping them as breeders if we didn't have Jimanga and Zandrin...
