I was under the impression that females of both species are far less mobile. Maybe males are patrolling, or looking for females? My only experience with females was with veileds many years ago. I kept a pair together in a large 6 ft by 3 ft by 5 foot enclosure. Yes, I know this was terrible...

Unless you already have material, buying the material and tools and making the screen enclosure yourself ends up costing about the same. But you could be making 2 or more with the materials you are paying for. At least it was when I looked into buying everything a few years ago.

Trust me, Kinyonga knows what she’s talking about. That is 100% an egg bound female. She’s trying to find a place to lay her eggs. Vet ASAP!

I hope they pull through. I’m the one running the ventilators in the hospital. And yes, the hospital is not taking the greatest care of it’s employees. Someone I work closely with is very sick at home, that means I have had direct contact with a Covid positive person, my hospital refuses to...

I’m literally on the front lines of this thing. I see people when they get sick, and I’m treating them through the illness whether they walk out, or die. Trust me, this ones real bad.

If they are small, then yes, they should be given some nutrients. That’s the beauty of bioactive keeping. They eat the rotting vegetation from falling leaves, added palm fronds, chameleon poop, and occasional added nutrients(Repashy morning wood).

Yep. If you use bioactive substrate, just dump a container of larvae into the soil. I recommend maybe 50 or so every 2-4 weeks. Most will emerge as flies and get eaten. But just leaving the container in a dark area that’s not too cold for a week or two will result in flies when you open the...

Ok, looks like a great system! But it’s too small for a panther or veiled in my opinion. Look into carpet chameleons or Jackson’s. It really is a very narrow enclosure. A panther or veiled would be longer than the tank is deep. But I do like the setup, just for a smaller inhabitant.

Moving air around inside a closed area is not what you want. You need a screen at the top, and somewhere else in the cage with some sort of vent or screen. If you have this, then it will work well. The fan at the top would either draw air in through the lower vent and pull it out of the top...

I’d like to know too

I’m sure there are a few very expensive commercial options. Most people build or have someone build a custom enclosure.

All bites from venomous insects, reptiles, etc are dangerous. Some people react much worse than others. Sometimes one dose of anti-venom is enough, sometimes it takes hundreds. It’s basically dependent on the envenomation dosage, and the individual’s bitten allergic reaction to the venom...

I placed multiple gecko species (cheap), and anoles in my cham’s enclosure multiple times. Some “cohabitated” for a month or so, but they all eventually disappeared. Eaten for sure. Thankfully, that was my intention. I could see it working in certain circumstances, but they all include VERY...

Well, she can identify as a male panther according to ultra progressives. Lol!

He carries like 4 blends depending on the environment you need to simulate. Of course they’re proprietary, but I’m sure they are simple clones of the known ABG mix. His soils are expensive but worth it. His YouTube tutorials are priceless. I’ve purchased a ton of stuff from him, he’s a good...

Keep me posted brother! I’ve been dreaming of using LEDs for UVB some day. I wouldn’t mind building my own fixture, I’d just need some directions...like step by step.

Something to add, if it hasn’t been already. Aren’t chameleons in captivity outliving their wild brethren by like 300-500%? Now of coarse stable diet and protection plays a large factor, but I’d say even those who use poor diet techniques see a better life expectancy than in the wild no? At...

So I don’t disagree that fogging helps hydrate. I just want to know how. Is it condensation in the upper airway that is swallowed? Is water somehow absorbed through tissue in the lungs? Is it absorbed through some permeable membrane in the skin? Curious, I despise the idea of blind faith...
