I almost brought one of these little cuties home with me... Luckily my empty cages are 1200 miles away :)
There was also a crocodile skink at one booth and several with abronias. Lots of temptation! :D
Hey! Anyone at White Plains Expo today?
I'm short, blond, in a gray jacket and ponytail, carrying a beige canvas bag with the word "chameleon" on it!
I'll be wandering about - tons of animals here! Impulse purchases will be hard to avoid... :D
Jackson's can be tough to find as Captive Bred (CB). A lot of the ones on the market are Wild Caught (WC), meaning that they were wild animals that were captured and shipped to the US for the or trade - this is very hard on the chameleon and WC chameleons often have health issues. If you are...
Mine too. 6ft x 3ft x 2ft. I have the Light Your Reptiles double fixture wth one 6% Arcadia bulb and one 6500k grow light. The light quality put out by these bulbs is amazing - great illumination and color rendering. I'd recommend something similar, but you might still discuss with Todd with...
Depth/penetration isn't your main difference between the two - breadth of exposure is. The penetration depth of UVB lights varies with the quality of the lamp and age of use. As they age, they lose UVB intensity. The image below can't tell you the exact penetration of your specific lamp - you...
Move or cover up the gecko cage and see if her behavior changes. That's an easy way to determine yes or no on the gecko. She does look chunky like she might be ready to lay. If she doesn't feel safe, she could become egg bound and die. This is important to figure out what is upsetting her...
Pahk the cah in Havahd yahd! Oh wait, wrong accent :p
I actually can do the "Italian Long Island" accent unsettlingly well :D It's finally going to come in handy.
My first expo in the new city! And I just did a search to make sure I could get there on Metro North and not get stranded, lol.
Anyone else planning on going? If so, we should plan a time and place for a meet-and-greet! I'm hoping to pick up some feeder insects and have a good time in...
The controls are not as intuitive as I would like them, but once you do it a few times, you can figure it out easy. There are 4 buttons - clock, set, and up and down.
First set your time. Hit clock and play with it to set your current time. Make sure that AM and PM are correct - this is a...
You do miss your husband when you travel, really you do! .... but you miss your chameleon SO SO MUCH!
Just saying there might be some issues with priority of affection in my house :D
It's been awhile - between the holidays, changing jobs, thesis defense, and getting ready to move tomorrow (eek), I've been really busy and distracted.
Today was the last day with the hubby before I head up to NYC. Bucky used the opportunity to make sure he got some extra stink eye in.
I'll...
Too terrible! No obvious cause of death.
I'm so sorry @dmaizer. This just breaks my heart in pieces. Ambiguity is the worst possible finding when you can confirm it isn't husbandry issues :(
Please update us if the histopathology provides any information.
I just can't say enough how sorry I...
It's been awhile since I've done one of these. Share the absurd, confusing, or downright hilarious conversations you overhear today!
(I am at a coffeeshop working while my building is testing the fire alarms. There is a lady behind the counter who is very efficient but has no time for...
