To be fair, this girl went from the size of my index finger (maybe even pinky) to "sub adult" body in like 2 weeks. From there she turned into the typical tree cow - all about the girth. I knew she was going to be having eggs early, I just didn't want her first lay to be a fertile clutch. She...

So this is old, but figured I could add some useful information. I place a "laybin" in all my females cages from the moment I have them. It's nothing more than a giant plant pot that holds their main tree. As for age, I had a girl scoot from her cage into one of my males cages when I had to...

Question - have you noticed any kind of discharge or crust? They reason I ask is this is exactly how one of my girls looked. Shortly after doing as you have done, she stopped using her and started having trouble targeting her food. I got some eye ointment from the vet and did as instructed. It...

Actually this fits my current set up exactly and explains a lot. Not sure why I didn't really put that together as I just brought up this topic to my wife in conversation (shes my sounding board). In the day time my cham room stays open to the house. Right before lights out (and sun down) I...

I like glass myself, especially if you live in a cooler climate. With your heat lamps, heating isn't an issue. This lends itself to a "natural" effect of increased humidity at night due to condensation. Most glass enclosure (at least available here in the US) have ample enough ventilation. My...

Have to agree with the majority, especially given my location. Here in Florida we have all kinds of good and bad bugs living on pretty much any given dead or live branch. The chances of finding wood without a lifeform is pretty slim. The problem is you bring them into an IDEAL habitat for...

You said "reptibreeze chameleon kit", but it looks like glass? The ReptiBREEZE line is a screened cage, thus the "breeze". However, that's just semantics. More to your current issue, tongue issues are tricky as they can really be so many thing - from the tongue or mouth, neurological issues...

This. Well said. This is pretty much how I try and approach my keeping, to bring a slice of nature in, replicating all the intricacies of it. For me, living in Florida, I have a slight advantage as my cham room is a "Florida room" where I can open the windows and replicate their natural habitat...

I've tried crickets and honestly they're a pain. A pain to keep alive, pain to get to breed and pain to keep them from escaping. I do occasionally buy a few crickets for variety as they're pretty cheap compared to other feeders. I do a few types of roach and silkworms as my staples. Silkworms...

Hehe... there was always the rumor about the river, but they never actually shut it down. The same principle applies for any river, lake, creek, or farm (that you can get to without being shot at). Your basically just looking for "dead wood". I could tell you a few places to go, but it's been so...

And I was able to recall where it was and Google maps says the vet is: Pennyroyal Small & Exotic 247 Regency Cir, Lexington, KY 40503 http://www.pennyroyalvet.com/ It looks as though "Dr. Z" has moved on from there, but based on how awesome she was I'd probably still go knowing the kind of...

Funny story, I used to live in Lexington and actually that's when I got my first reptile - an iguana. There used to be an AWESOME reptile vet and she was amazing. I even ended up taking ALL my animals to her. I'll see if I can come up with her proper name as it's been probably 15 years. I seem...

Upon further examination... it's not 2 bloom stacks, its 3. I'm definitely going to say this is how it spawns more plants. Each bloom must be a "pup"...

I have some that did this and figured those were in fact seeds. However, at that time, I just ended up pitching them and the plant was infested with some for of little mites so it got disposed of as well. I wouldn't even know how to germinate the seeds - maybe on a damp towel inside a baggie...

Right. Some do, which is kinda what I'm asking - it *LOOKS* like that area that was in bloom is turning green (as opposed to brown and dying). Is that "bloom" area going to turn into a plant? I know the air plants dow here in Florida that grow all over actually have a little antenna that gives...

Oh and for these... as stated they give you a "purple light". I've done a bit of research and spoken to a few folk in the know and basically what I got was "overpriced junk". The claims they make are wildly inaccurate and they're just the same concept as what cyberlocc mentioned with the boards...

I had a real issue with lighting and will definitely be doing some "DIY LED" system in the future. For my specific application, I needed something temporary and multipurpose. I have 3 of these: I use 2 on my two males cages. I also have 2 of the 24W version - they have 1 less LED so not quite...

I have a few air plants floating around, pardon the pun. Most of them have never flowered. One or two I bought in the flowering stage and they died out. Recently, with upgraded plant lighting, I've had some success getting them to bloom! While kinda cool, and pretty considering the source...

That was a good read and totally explains why my girl actually has trouble with worms at close range. I was under the impression that the closer the worm was too her (to some extent - like not directly in front of her but a few inches) the better she could grab it. While the study wasn't cham...

Was one of the selling points of this place. My wife gets the pool and I get the cham room. All those windows open too, which is perfect when it's not searingly hot! Keeps me from having to rotate them to my free range all day long, which is nice. I really like the space... I just have to get...
