Right? There are much more rare chameleons out there that don't command nearly the price of pardalis, as common as they are. Drives me crazy. And it's not even that I don't think panthers are beautiful and should be priced where they are. It's just that we are losing the diversity of chameleons...
Wow. This is the first time I've heard vita-lites mentioned in like 15 years. They were the start of the indoor chameleon keeping revolution for sure, but honestly, Reptisun and apparently even more so, Arcadia (I personally haven't used these yet) seem to do just fine. Use linear T5HO if...
They look awesome Chase. That male in particular. I swear I recognize his markings. Is he one that Kevin (Dooly1) might have had and posted pictures of at some point? Good luck with them.
...And then, wondering if something was in the air with the weather change we've been having, this happened. She didn't seem as receptive as the older female, but he was so determined and quick that I couldn't stop him, and neither could she, but she didn't contest as much as she could have, so...
OK guys. I had this go down today. My oldest/largest pair showed receptivity and follow-through. The first time I've found that she's been willing to mate since I've had her even though she's dropped slugs twice. I started thinking she's a little past her prime but her displaying and...
The difference is, plants used in enclosures with known vectors of parasites can build up unnaturally high levels of infectious pathogens in such close confines. In nature there is a much less concentrated dispersion of said pathogens that help keep things in check. Not that they're not there...
Have they changed their size recently? The ones I have come no more than 4.5" from the side. If the cages are 5.5" wide, it looks like the ones I have from them would fit. How far do the ones you have come over?
Not what I was wanting to hear Carl, but thanks for the honesty. Hopefully, like Jeremy mentioned, we we can achieve at least a small population that can get us a little ways into the future if the keepers currently working with them keep a few pairs each going. Wow. What happened? It's hard to...
Allison's(Carlton) seems 100% correct. Looks like classic temporal gland infection. I'd find a vet with more chameleon experience and get it treated ASAP. Good luck and hope she gets well. Btw silkworms have a higher nutritional value than hornworms, but the hornworms are enticing and good for...
I must reeeally like the sound of crickets chirping.:D After the very limited response to my "Calling all werneri keepers" thread, I don't hold out much hope for this one, but I'd love to be surprised. Are there any keepers currently working with T. montium out there? I've got two separate...
Just dug these up. My first gracilior pair circa 2003-2004. As you can see by the male, some things never change. I can't remember if the female was caught just after mating or just after laying, but I do remember grabbing the camera because of her unusual coloration. These pics were from a 35mm...
Good looking Werner's guys! I find it hard to believe with as many of these as I've seen offered for sale over the last year and a half, we are the only keepers representing this species on the forum. Carl, I know you and Jeremy have had several full clutches, what are your views on how this...
