Folks, this has got to be a new low for the forum! There is nothing funny about the death of someone's chameleon, be it from Petco, private breeder, or wholesaler. In my experience, people who has lost a chameleon based on an impulse buy, inexperience, young, or old, feels just as much pain as...

I'm very sorry for your loss, and I hope that you find closure on this tragic event. I do apologize if what I'm about to say offends you or cause further anguish, but without further examination of the deceased body, we must not be too quick to rule out other causes of death (i.e., infection...

LOL...I've always wonder what are the scientific bases for the 2'X2'X4' recommended cage dimension, but could never find one. I'm beginning to think it was based on the size of Reptibreeze cages commonly sold in pet stores :).

I don't think you'll have a hard time selling the babies, providing that they are healthy. I've been following the market for baby panthers for past couples of months and they seem to sell out very quickly, especially when priced low (i.e., $50-65 a piece). If breeding is where your passion...

About 6 years ago, I've successfully used the bamboo to build scaffolding for my glass enclosures to hang branches and pots. My chams had very difficult times climbing up the bamboo stakes. I ended up covering the bamboo stakes with aquarium silicon and then covered the siliconed bamboo stakes...

Very nice. What do you plan on using for heat/basking lamp?

I notice there will be a Repticon show coming to the Dulles Expo Center in March. Has anyone attended the Repticon at the Expo Center before, and were there any cham breeders at the show?

Good to know. I live in NOVA but do research at NIH, and will probably stop by Congressional to check out the Jacksons :-).

Fascinating write up, Janet. If I understand this right, your description of the chameleon's biological stress responses leading to clinical behaviors is very similar to the biological stress responses in that of a human. Do these studies differentiate stress hormones between scenarios of...

I received a Hydei fly culture from Josh's Frogs last week and I'm starting to see some flies. I don't need these Hydeis now because my baby chams are starting to chow 1/8" crickets. I live in Leesburg, VA and will be happy to share some Hydeis with you if you have new cultures ready.

There is nothing wrong with raising chams in glass enclosure terrariums, just different approach to hubandry. I like your terrarium and quite frankly, to me, the majority of screen/mesh cages I've seen are fugly. I've raised two Veileds to the ripe old age of 6 and 7 on this side of the pond...

Saw the same on my guy yesterday. I misted him a few times this morning and his shed is now well on its way. My guy shedded about two weeks ago as well. No worries!

Ha...so cute!. Congrats!

Hello. I'm looking for breeders of Panther that are in the Northern Virginia/ Maryland area.. I know Screameleon used to be here, but has since gone out of business. I'm searching for a set of beautiful 3-4 mos old male and female Panther (Pref. Ambilobe ). I'm setting up the cages for them...

He's a pretty boy! How old is Hansel?

Beautifully done. I'd love to be able to do the same. What type of paint and what are you waterproofing the wood with?

Thanks for sharing your exhibit build. It's very inspirational!

Thanks for the information on first hand experience with the Climist system. Sounds like it's a great deal.

I'm also in the market for a misting system and have been thinking about the Climist ($109 for a starter kit). I'm still searching in the archive for good comparison between Mistking and Climist system. So far I haven't found any. I will probably go with the Climist system, but I just have to...

Zoomeds little dripper valve is difficult to adjust properly. I'm going to replace mine with HD's valves. Hopefully, it'll be an improvement.
