Zenyatta the horse was named after the 1980 Police album, "Zenyatta Mondatta" under the A&M label. Jerry Moss, owner of the horse Zenyatta, was co-founder of A&M Records. Zenyatta last raced in the fall of 2010. I think your video character might have been named after the Police album, since...

@Zenyatta The Chameleon I just saw your screen name and I can't think of a name that is more unlike a chameleon as Zenyatta! :ROFLMAO: I, too, loved that horse; she was pretty special. And if you want to name a chameleon after one of the better race mares and certainly one of the gutsiest...

No, that is not normal at all. I've had one wild caught lay on a branch like that. She was so battered and her four legs so swollen I feared the swelling would cut off circulation and she would lose her legs/feet. She hung her legs like that, but all four. I see an animal with a lot of...

@Sampson87 I take offense to your implication that somehow this is the breeder's fault that research would have prevented. Let's just start with your warning to anyone planning breeding to do their research. I hate to break it to you, but their is very little scientific literature about...

Something is wrong with the shell. There is a membrane under the shell, but that membrane will have more trouble keeping bacteria and fungus out. It can be done. People (researchers and vets) can and do cut a "window" into the shell long before hatch to observe the embryo. Don't feel bad...

Are those horizontal marks slits? Which you didn't make? When babies "pip" they slit the end of the egg in a star pattern. It is nothing like the slit you are showing. I once had a huge really poorly calcified clutch of eggs. I almost threw the whole clutch out when laid because they were...

I just saw it. I took a break and read through a few threads. Joel showed me his male O'shaughessyi and I was smitten. He had bright turquoise and either grey or white. I only remember how impressed I was with his colors.

It depends on the species and the temps. If you have a veiled or a panther, you don't need to do anything. They will do just fine since they are living and breeding wild in Florida.

Isn't she a fat little toad? She is eating Melanogaster fruit flies. I offer the youngest one fruit flies but make sure there are lots of springtails and aphids. I have some pinhead crickets, too, which are smaller than fruit flies. Yesterday I cleaned their little enclosures and replaced...

Furcifer campani, 3 1/2 weeks old. Survived five days of being cared for by my non-chameleon husband while I was away.... She's such a fat little toad. When I came home from my trip I found a second baby hatched in the incubator. Not as pretty as this one, so I am hoping it is a male...

I'm moving to Wyoming as soon as I can get my house sorted out and sold or at least made ready to sell. Almost 30 years ago, before we were married, my husband agreed we would make one move from Ontario, Canada, to Vancouver Island. He lied. Since that "one move" across Canada, we've moved...

That's just for light, not UVB light. Arcadia makes fantastic UVB bulbs, but that isn't one of them.

Yours does too--look closely.

I just hope I can keep her alive. I will keep people posted with her pictures--she is such a really pretty little thing. I was told the species were very difficult to keep alive as neonates but she doesn't strike me as particularly fragile. My biggest problem has been finding small enough...

Yup, a Q-tip. Finding feeders was quite the challenge. I resorted to springtails and aphids from the garden. Have a look at the second picture taken the day I found she had hatched. (I hadn't checked the box for almost a week. :oops:) There is a fruit fly on her right eye.

So far just one baby. I wasn't given any advice on temps and diapause until about six months after the eggs were taken from the dead female. They were really poorly shelled, even for campani eggs. I did not expect even one baby to hatch and was just going through the motions of checking the...

This was a surprise hatch--I did not expect anything to hatch. This little gem hatched 13 months after her newly imported mother died and had to cut the eggs out. My phone does not do justice to the reds, but her lateral stripes are bright, almost fluorescent salmon orange. I wish she were a...

First things first--don't panic! You might never know why and it will probably self correct over time. There is a larvae, butter worms, that causes a skin reaction in some animals. Did you feed butter worms? Chameleons' skin will blacken just like that at the site of an injury. You can put...

You were giving your opinion; you were not recommending the person follow the vet's advice. You never once mentioned following the vet's advice, it was all about what you would do even though you admitted you had zero experience treating infections. Don't be surprised when experienced keepers...

I can't believe your panthers can be big enough to eat even the smallest roaches. Ditto with most black soldier fly larvae. I can harvest black soldier fly larvae from my compost bin that is small enough, but that is not the size you can buy. Since you called them Phoenix worms, you must be...
