Definitely post pics when you finish- I'd be really interested to see how you do the drain underneath the shelves. Those racks are perfect for reptariums- I have another 48" unit full of empty cages right now that I will eventually be setting up in a similar configuration. Now I just need a...

A few of my chams: Male Ambilobe, Male Nosey Be (getting to be an old man now...) and a few shots of the larger baby Africanus that I just moved outdoors.

Babies & juvies on the bottom...with the exception of the larger cage on the bottom right. That's one of my male panthers, but he gets free run of the porch more often than not. I have to be space efficient with this many chams. Also, you cant see it in the pics but each cage is separated from...

I actually got out the camera and took some pics of my collection and my cage setups last week...I've finally got everything and everybody (somewhat) organized. At least until the next batch of babies of course when I'll have to reconfigure yet again :rolleyes: First two shots are of the...

I see the hotbox incubator guys at reptile shows quite a bit, and they have a great product, but I believe they are very much geared toward snake breeders, and I'm pretty sure none of their incubators cool.

I was under the impression that snails can carry a high parasite load- this has always turned me off to using them as a food source. Is this not the case? How are people who feed snails acquiring/culturing them?

Thanks for the recommendation- I had never seen this incubator before. The price is high but realistically if it saves you a clutch of 25 panther eggs it's already paid for itself. A bit out of the budget right now but as temps here are starting to cool anyways it's something to start saving for...

Very interesting ChamMan...Sea snails? I don't have much experience with unusual panther locales but I have worked with a number of "hard to keep" imports and my approach to keeping is to find out everything I possibly can about conditions in their native habitat (weather patterns, rainfall...

Anyone? I'd love to hear from anyone with experience incubating montanes.

So, having incubated several clutches of eggs more or less successfully over the last few years, I've never been impressed with commercially available incbuators for chameleons. I think the main issue is that they're all designed to heat eggs where many chams require cooling (at least for part...

First, congrats on the successful hatching! Mine hatched out about 4 weeks ago, and they are growing fast! be prepared to feed them constantly. I read that article also and I have strong reservations about the underlying science so I'm not going to supplement with anything that could be so...

I had one that I had to force out of the egg out of my africanus clutch and while it looked ok at first it ended up being completely blind and wasting away over a week or so. I think it was underdeveloped/premature. FYI many of the others had a noticeable yolk sac when they came out which they...

I'll be there for the whole weekend- I'll be manning my company's table (Segrest Farms) most of the time. Come stop by, I'll have my male Ambilobe from Chamalot hanging out with me and I might have one of the baby africanus on display.

Here's a shot of one of my little ones. They are voracious eaters! Anyone else out there have clutch hatch out? I thought I remembered a few members here having eggs from that import last year.

Showjet, how are yours doing?

Quick update: all of my Africanus hatched (even a few eggs that looked so bad I almost threw them away) on Sunday afternoon...of course right as I was leaving on business for a week. They're doing well and my girlfriend is taking care of them. They're amazing little things and I'm very excited...

I live in Tampa (moved here from MA about a year ago) and I've been pretty happy with keeping chams outside here for most of the year. I keep them in a screened-in porch that gets indirect sun from about 3 to 7pm (filtered sunlight throughout the day) and it has worked well. I bought all of them...

Congrats! I have about 10 or so Africanus eggs still incubating (I lost quite a few of them in the first few weeks) but I think they're getting close. Maybe once they get a little bigger we can trade out a few and get some genetic diversity going. I'd really like to see captive bred africanus...

Jann, congrats on picking up Hera! I'm so glad to see her and Padre getting along so well, they look great!

Quick update: after hydrating and feeding them well, they've settled in nicely. The male seems to get along well with the two females, and it's interesting to watch their interactions. On Tuesday I was very pleasantly surprised to find one of the females down on the floor of the cage covered...
