Sometimes they're just not interested, it seems; one of my dudes was 3 yeas old before he showed any interest in breeding! He also didn't (and often still won't) get fired up even if he sees other males. He's more likely to get feisty and/or frisky in spring/summer than mid winter though...

Late update, one more hatched yesterday and joined his/her sibling- and another clutch started hatching too! They were laid a month later; I was hoping to stagger clutches a bit 😄

Pipped three days ago, finally dragged him/herself out this morning. One more has pipped, and two were visibly moving. Excited for babies!

Might be nematodes; can't really tell size from your picture

Just a word of advice to anyone this dude has managed to insult, you can "ignore" a member. Option is available if you click on their name/profile; it's what I do when someone is a jerk right off the bat, and am planning to do now 🙃

I suppose that is generally the norm 🙄 Ours is vet-directed spoiled; he has an anxiety disorder (along with a few other issues) and has panic attacks if he is lonely or things don't go his way 🙃 Only found that out after the 3rd very expensive vet visit, because his attacks manifest with nearly...

I hope you made that yourself, it's awesome!

I've had the same issue, even when I'm trying to give them the 'good' stuff (blue buffalo; I have a particular and spoiled brat of a cat). I know it isn't an issue with it being meat based or high protein, because all my roaches (except the bananas; still figuring them out) devour kitten food...

Mourning geckos are a small arboreal species, with adults only getting about 4" long. The entire species is female, with reproduction occurring through parthenogenesis (note: as has been discussed with kinyongia, the rare male has been found; however, they are always infertile). They are a...

Congrats! I'm glad to see Peaches is still doing well. Be careful not to spray the eggs directly with water, just around them. Also, don't let the substrate they're in get too wet or they could absorb too much water and burst. You can weigh the container (lid and all) once when wet, they before...

I'm not sure what tree fern is- Spanish moss maybe? Spag moss will not mix in well, unless you meant the fine peat moss (like the sort sold in bales). Charcoal doesn't do much for plants/microfauna in a substrate, but do provide a lot of surface area for beneficial bacteria and fungi. I'd...

Yep! The miner al product is meant to be used in conjunction with a specific gut load (vit al). I use it once a month and reptivite once a month to make sure all bases are covered (I feel like reptivite has too much phosphorus for solo use anyway)

You beat me to it!

Earthworm of some sort. Not uncommon to find in potted plants; occasionally they'll leave the pot and hang out underneath, especially if the soil is overly wet. Nothing to worry about!

This is way too much; you should use EITHER the zooMed multivitamin or this every two weeks. There is likely a toxicity issue going on. The rest of your husbandry looks fairly on point though, so great job!

Terra firma itself I've been told is a fine product, it does what you want and is critter safe. That said, it's essentially very overpriced potting soil. Even organic topsoil with a bit of Coco coir or peat moss mixed in would do the same thing. I didn't comment on it before because I know it...

A few notes; If you are super set on reusing the water, you can make it chameleon safe with a particulate filter and UV sterilizer. However, that will not remove solutes, and mineral/calcium deposits will build up in the MistKing over time. I'd suggest you just create a catch basin/bucket and...

4g seems a little on the small side for 3 months, though it's not too abnormal. For reference, my hatchlings are usually 0.5 g, females averaged 12-15g at 3 months, and males were 15-20ish. I did have a particularly small female who was 5g at 3 months, but she was 18g by 6 months old. I'm sure...

Yeah... I do it for chicken/other bird eggs, as it's kind of necessary to keep track of development so you can remove infertile eggs or any that stop developing before they ferment and explode. But it seems chameleon eggs always show issues in development quickly (molding), which would make...

Based on color, I'd say you're probably right, and he's likely less than six months. However, his limbs look very skinny- it could just be that he's a growing, lanky teenager, but humor me: how much are you feeding him and how often? How long have you had him? Also, in case you weren't aware, he...
