a few more pics of the KY quad shipment It's amazing but when I first received the shipment, I couldn't say for sure that any of the females were gravid. Now I don't think there's much question that the female in the back is gravid. She's the one that put on 19 grams in 18 days, although I...

Here are a few pics taken of the gracilior male taken the morning of the day (1-10-15) Cheryl took over the chameleon sitting duties. :) Unfortunately, none of these photos, especially the clearest photo of these three, show how orange some of his scales actually are. I didn't take nearly as...

Ask and you shall receive. :) I love the orange scales on the male. The female, one-eyed Jackie, lost one eye in the wild but gets along just fine. It even appears she might be gravid. She's put on 11 grams in 18 days. Perry

Pics taken on 1/9/15, the day before most of these will be driven to a new, temporary home. :(

More pics from the day the quads arrived on 12/23.

Some pics of the quads that were shipped to KY. I've only been caring for them for 18 days, but I'm sure going to miss them. Most of them will be going to live in OH for a while. First up are pics of them right after I took them out of the shipping box and got their weights. One female has...

What is your regular schedule? Did you discontinue Repashy's Calcium Plus entirely and go back to your own milled vitamins and minerals exclusively? Perry

That's good info. Thanks Mike. I've got both Repashy's regular Calcium Plus and Repashy's Calcium Plus LoD formula. Regular Calcium Plus has 200,000 IU/lb of vitamin A and 20,000 IU/lb of vitamin D (a 10:1 ratio of vitamin A to D3) while the low D3 formula has 80,000 IU/lb of vitamin A and 8,000...

Many things can cause edema, usually a symptom of organ (liver and/or kidney) malfunction. The general consensus of most keepers' experiences is that most often, edema is the result of too much D3, followed perhaps by too much preformed vitamin A, and in recent imports especially, dehydration. I...

I'm a little surprised that no one has asked how she was diagnosed as being deficient in vitamins A and D3. Did a vet measure the blood levels of those two vitamins and find them to be lacking? Just curious.

I had three young quads get rectal prolapses over the past 3 years. With all of them, the problem coincided with a change of temperature, misting cycles and duration. While I can't say for sure what caused them to get prolapses, two of them died days after having a stitch put in by a vet to...

Congrats! I love that species. Back in the late 80s to early 90s, I had quite a few clutches. I always had a good hatch rate. I wasn't successful raising any of them to adulthood though because their high sensitivity to vitamins, especially D3, wasn't fully realized. I remember raising...

Their care is similar to a Uro, but for some reason, I prefer "chucks" in general and I really like the looks of the red-backed, carrot-tailed, and granite chuckwallas, three color variations of the common chuck. Just a personal preference I guess. Sauromalus ater, the common chuck, is the...

How about expanding the question to, "How many species of herps do you have?" I've always found it interesting that I know many keepers of chameleons that also have poison dart frogs. If you have a system set up of always making fruit fly cultures, a necessity with dart frogs, then providing...

Who else keeps these vegetarian desert denizens? These guys are so cool! The male wasn't fully warmed up yet when I took the photo so his red/orange coloration isn't as intense as it sometimes is. I once kept 4 together and I always found it funny the way they stack up on one another, even...
