Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you won't distance yourself from chameleons after this loss. Buying a chameleon under 3 months of age is a big risk, babies are very very sensitive and might die of reasons that seem to be unknown. Maybe if you shared all the information asked on "how to ask for...

I guess most people do not understand that an animal not having any "love" or "bond" for a human doesn't directly mean the animal is getting stressed or being psychologicaly harmed while interacting with a human (their owner). If the animal is familiar with the human and has learned that the...

If you don't want her to lay eggs for now, keep the spot low (I guess recommended was high 70s or maybe low 80s? Not sure) and feed her less then she will eat, but enough to let her develop. I sadly don't remember the recommended amound of feeders that can be given daily. My girl layed an...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I want to ask just to make sure: For how long have your crickets been adults? Can't they be just dying of old age? If they are not that old, I would change their cage and decoration and go with only carrot/apple/basil for the diet for a few days or for a week.

Yeah, I saw on social media some people from Canada, Germany and Netherlands that bred these guys this year. A nice year of montium. :D Maybe Canada can ship to US? Yes, I moved in on monday! :eek: I was already talking with the breeder for week, just needed to move and get the terrarium and...

My first montium, the species that made me fall in love with chameleons for the first time 7-8 years ago... :rolleyes: FINALLY MINE :eek: (4-5 months old male) And for this guy, I built a bioactive vivarium with springtails and isopods for the first time too. I hope it doesn't break down for a...

What eggs? Chameleon eggs?

I have found these in the L'Aquarium Barcelona, but this is an extraordinary case, I suppose. :rolleyes: As far as I know, UV-filter would not kill anything that is not free-swimming. Meaning the bacteria or parasites landing to the bottom with the poop may reproduce or wait at the bottom (in...

I am don't have much to say about humidity as I kept my Jacksons in an Exo Terra and then a screen cage with nearly all sides covered, but I can recommend you to remove the grasshoppers if you think they might be stressing him out. I never leave insects in the cage if my chameleon doesn't eat it...

No, I do not remember which eggs dropped and which emrios/hatchlings were bigger or smaller. I am saying that dropping and turning probably does not have to do with the size of the embryo/hatchling, because it is very very improbable that the eggs I dropped were all the smaller ones when...

Thanks kinyonga! I do not know what the "…"s between keywords meant, but the keywords helped me a lot. It wasn't any good to search "air sack reptile egg", at least when I did 2-3 years ago. Apparently at the first hours/days of the incubation the embrios being positioned up, down or at the...

Never seen any article or any people gave me this fact when I was researching about this 2-3 years ago. Thanks, could you give a source?

If reptile eggs (chameleon eggs specifically) do not have a fixed air sack like bird eggs do, then turning the eggs should not be a problem (as my simplistic logic and many peoples experiences goes). But without actually knowing the anatomy of the inside of a chameleon egg in different stages of...

Can there be censoring system or at least a warning before we are exposed to a pair of tiny-huge eyes radiating lethal levels of cuteness? Pretty please. :eek::D

I did cover sides and back with stretch film or stryofoam boards. If too much air movement causes lots of moisture loss, that is not a very good thing. Having a ventilation setup like exo terra and other brand cages is actually a good idea compered to full-screen cages for chams, as far as I know.

How long or how heavy is he? He looks huge to me in the photos. A majestic old man indeed.

I have gotten some Exo Terra jungle vines, T-rex water proof vines and a glowlight out of my basement. The thing is, I realised that my basement floor and a few boxes were wet. When I opened the wet boxes, the books inside at the bottom were very moldy. I had mold on the walls but never on the...

Thanks! Clay is a lot lighther then lava rocks, I hope I can find clay balls in Germany (I came here like 4 days ago, I don't really know what is available in Germany). Are springtails and isopods resistant to temp drops? Montanes might need 16 C (60 F) at night while it is around 24 C (75 F) at...

Hi all, I am going to have T. montium and T. cristatus in a few weeks. I am having a hard time deciding on a terrarium design. I am probably going to have a 60x45x60h cm Exo Terra glass terrarium for each montane chams. I don't think I wan't to put a hole under these terrariums. And I don't...

I never heard of a "bag" covering the chameleon feces. What is the scientific term? Or at least is there any threads/articles about this?
