Happy Birthday!

And the above study adds to the literature showing that it’s possible to manipulate and improve their nutritional content through diet

Definitely, they are pretty ravenous little things

If I have it’s been awhile, it seems like I may have seen those posted here previously, but it’s been a while Do you have links to them?

Looks like an interesting study. I’ll try to get the full article tomorrow. I think mealworms can be a nutritious addition to a lizards diet when properly cared for. It would be interesting to compare a bugs nutritional profile after one of these commercial diets vs the current recommended...

Happy Birthday Thatcher! My son and I have been reading your book together

Don’t be too sure. I threw about 8 discoids that were too big for my lizards in a ten gallon tank and put a heating pad on one side with a thermostat on it and 6 months later there were babies in there. It can be done better to increase production, but they weren’t hard to breed Red runners...

@Kaizen please wait to do the next backyard tour with Bill in the summer so you can wear this outfit again 😂

The negative I hear about about BSFL is issues with digestability. I have read reports of whole undigested larvae being present in the lizards poop I suppose this is possible, but I would guess you’d see it more often if the lizard had eaten lots of them at one feeding This article talks...

I don’t think there is anything wrong with feeding mealworms to any of your lizards. The reasons given to not use them are not supported by any scientific data. They can be part of a varied diet for most any lizard. I give my Leo all the same stuff I give my Chams Here’s a good discussion...

🤯 Nothing else to add You guys are smart

Very nice looking enclosure! I haven’t seen a lot of people do it, but you could consider closing off some, but not all of the lower access door too. This moves the enclosure towards more of a “glass” style where humidity is held pretty well. I would even wonder, if you’re sitting on a...

@Kaizen is correct. There is no literature for any species of chameleon available. Even the ratios that the supplements use of various fat soluble vitamins seems to be picked out of thin air. Which is important since both A and D can affect each other’s mechanisms for gene transcription and...

The author is quite insane, but does assemble the evidence well

I’d consider wrapping the front door with a window seal kit, leaving the lower small door open screen Do you have lots of live plants? Packing the enclosure with live plants will help some too A room humidifier can lead to issues in the room itself. Metal will rust, paint will peel, etc...

You guys also think I’m an Anaesthetist (pronounced aneesthetist) And I like it when you guys “twin” your highways. Canada is the best

He’s incredible!

Welcome to the Forums. There are lots of helpful people here that want your Cham to thrive I know it seems like a lot, but it really helps to understand his situation when there is more information. You said he’s not eating, his tongue isn’t shooting out and hasn’t been for a while, he sleeps...

One of the possible issues with the new LED UVB lights on the market is they’re not yet providing full UV spectrum and lack some of the longer UVA wavelengths that are essential to the feedback cycling that occurs in the skin preventing skin overproduction of cholecalciferol. Dr Baines explains...
