    Buffers for heat fixtures

    How cold is "cold"? Veiled chameleons are montane chameleons and can take cold nights. But to answer your question, I've used a variety of methods to lift up a fixture off the top of an enclosure. I've created an arm out of pvc that lifts the fixture up. Essentially it was a square frame with 4...

    New Brookesia owner. Please help with ID and any tips and tricks for acclimation

    Sorry for your losses. It's always tough losing babies. Luckily this year I didn't incur any losses with my pygmies. All 5 Brookesia superciliaris are subadults now. May I ask why you chose perlite to incubate the eggs? While perlite and vermiculite look similar, they act very differently. In...

    New Brookesia owner. Please help with ID and any tips and tricks for acclimation

    You can put a slice of banana in with the babies and hope to draw in small flies while you wait for food. When this years Brookesia supercilaris hatched, they were also a surprise. Luckily I had some fungats gnats in there for them to eat. They went 3 or 4 days without me supplying vendor-bought...

    Wanted to share the nursery cages that I have designed for individual raising :)

    Nice work! This is going to be a game-changer for many keepers. Now there's no excuse for raising up babies in groups. Aside from this being an absolutely amazing cage. I wonder if people would also be more willing to use these cages as displays at reptile expos. Small, easy to move. Bye bye...

    Feeder Run Recommendation

    It's called a reptibreeze because it's a breeze for crickets to escape. I've had crickets and even full-grown dubia roaches escape my reptibreezes before.

    Feeder Run Recommendation

    Sometimes the calcium dust that we use to powder the crickets can come off when dumping in the crickets. This creates a thin layer of dust over time that crickets can climb on and eventually get out. You could try rinsing out the feeder run and see if that helps. Crickets usually don't jump...

    Feeder Run Recommendation

    If you have dragon ledges in your dragonstrand enclosure, you can secure the normal PVC feeder runs to the ledges by drilling a hole through the feeder run and then using thick jewelry wire to run through the hole and around the ledge. I got mine from full-throttle feeders. You will need a drill...

    I will say that it might be difficult to get pictures of the babies without a human hand since they are just so tiny and my camera will just focus on anything else but them haha

    Update on the babies: I found a 5th baby a few hours after posting the original post. They are all doing well and becoming nice and plump!

    More Baby Pygmy Chameleons!

    Thank you! I absolutely agree with you! Despite looking like a tiny brown leaf, they sure are beautiful! Beauty isn't always linked to having color the brightest rainbow colors - though it sure does help :) I pick them up incredibly gently 😅 I feel like the way I just pick them up and grab them...

    More Baby Pygmy Chameleons!

    Hi everyone, it's that time of the year when I log on to the forums and post some pygmy content! Long story short, I hatched out 4 pygmy chameleons this past week! Some more pics: Here are the temporary grow-out enclosures. Last year, I hatched out two pygmies (Brookesia superciliaris)...

    Another milestone......a K. Boehmei turned 4 today, CONGRATS Ranjo

    Happy hatchday to Ranjo! He's such a perfect little man 🥳 Kinyongia is such a cool genus! I really hope more people work with boehmei, such an underrated cham. Nice work, Mark! This is every bit a celebration of how you care for your animals. Without you, they would have probably been sold off...

    I'm so tired of moving...it's a lot of work and takes tons of time. Finding a new place is pretty stressful and takes up a lot of time after work. But now I think I can finally relax. And I've got a new chameleon project on the way. I also found a pygmy chameleon egg the other day in one of my...

    Then the next place gave my housemates and me an allergic reaction (thinking mold or something). So after two weeks, my housemates and I decided the situation was unlivable, so we broke that lease and moved again. This new place is actually a lot nicer than the last two places 🙏
