I had dubias when I moved here 7 years ago until I found out that I could get in trouble for having them. I possess a class III permit so I can be inspected by the wildlife dept. at any time so it wasn't worth it for me to try and keep them. They do make great feeders though and reproduce...
He looks good! He is coloring up well. He does look like he is outgrowing his clutchmates, probably because he has been singled out. I wouldn't worry about him overeating during his growth period, that is more of an issue with a mature chameleon which can lead to obesity at that point or may...
I have some juvenile panther chameleons for sale. They are a crossed locale and are showing some amazing colors already. The sire is "Steve" my blue bar ambilobe male, the dame is "Josie" my high orange ambanja female. These babies are going to be stunning, males and females. They are...
Your setup looks great! I'm sure he will settle in pretty quickly. Your feeding cup is deep, just keep your eye on him as he probably won't be able to get out of it on his own if he falls in. The milk carton and screen method is great ( https://www.chameleonforums.com/eating-5711/ )...
On Christmas I had a new one hatch that i can add to the list. This is Lygodactylus williamsi, a little gecko. After 80 days of incubation these tiny guys finally hatched. The adult males are an amazing flourescent blue. Here is a pic of the dad of these guys:
Here is one of the new...
Go to this site and read: 20,000 exotic animals -- and hundreds more dead ones -- seized at Arlington pet wholesaler | To... They are large reptile importer. Some of us have probably dealt with them in the past. This is someone who is giving herp keepers a bad name.
Thanks Laurie, I might enter that one this month. All 16 are doing good and one straggler hatched about a month after the others so I have a runt making 17 little panthers to take care of. It's definately a task. There are still 6 viable eggs left in that clutch, who knows when they will...
Did you read this part: "Police and zoo officials say there has been an outpouring of public sympathy - for the bear.
Bouquets of flowers and pots of honey have been placed outside his enclosure. "
I felt bad for the bear also. I guess no one cares about the guy. Do bears really eat...
The only species that I know of where the females are those colors is Furcifer lateralis lateralis or carpet chameleon. Check out this link:http://adcham.com/html/taxonomy/species/flateralis.html
One thing that you have to look at is the condition of your feeders. If your crickets have dirty water or cage, they can carry a bacteria that will be harmfull to chameleons. Are the feeders clean and well fed? You should try to fill out this list to make it easier for people to give their...
I too had a female from this bloodline and my female had a couple of fused eggs in her first clutch. This is the thread that I posted when I found these eggs: https://www.chameleonforums.com/siamese-twins-27399/ . When she was getting ready to lay her second clutch, which was retained (no...
You chose a species that is more difficult than the more common pygmies. I have kept R. spectrums in the past and found them to be moderately hardy if they weren't stressed and had adequate height to their enclosure. When you say you are keeping them in a terrarium, I assume that you mean a...
There is very important survey that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has posted asking the opinions of hobbyists on the changes that may be made to the legislation for 2010. If you currently live in Florida or just come here to sell herps at shows, you might want to...
I have tried many plants in my indoor setups over the years and have found schefflera (arbicola) to survive the longest and provide many horizontal branches, and ficus "alii" in the tree form to do very well and survive for years. For the amount to use, make it comfortable for the chams by...
I order large crickets and 1 week old crickets from a large distributer. I get in between size crickets at a local pet shop. I culture my own fruitflies, and get their supplies from a local fruitfly distributer. I catch my own occasionally.
Great news! I know what you are talking about, growing up in the country of Kansas and now living in Orlando. My parents still leave doors unlocked and cars running, I wouldn't dare try that here.
Hello Everyone,
Today I received a link to the Florida Wildlife Commission's survey about various wildlife topics. In the survey the Commission asks questions about sale of wildlife as well as structural facility construction. The topics are:
