Usually they will mold in the first week or two if they are infertile. If they have survived a year, I would say that they are good, just taking their sweet time.
It is great that you have decided to keep her. My friendliest and most interactive chameleon is an ambilobe female. The one thing that I would do is let the breeder know that she is definitely a she and see if you can get refunded the price difference, if there was one.
They look good, however that much bubbly mucus might mean that he has a URI. I would keep an eye on him and take him to the vet if he gapes and struggles to breath.
Feeding your bugs the correct gut load is really very simple. Shouldn't be much harder than feeding them the orange cubes. I don't remember if it has been said before, but I would be using the linear tube style bulb for UVB.
If you must add heat at night, please use a ceramic heat emitting...
It is a beautiful chameleon. Why do they believe they are poisonous? I can understand Dark Magic, that isn't disprovable, but poisonous? After thousands of years of no venomous bites, no fangs, no venom, you would think that they would learn.
For panthers, I have found that the survival rate after 2 months is 95%. Usually if they are going to die, they do so in the first month. If you are worried about it, I would wait a month. You are in the clear after the 3rd month.
I have been doing something similar to this for years as well, although my guys still see the sun and UVB in the winter. My primary reason was laziness, because I didn't want to have all these different bags of different powders and trying to remember what powder I dusted with when. Instead, I...
This is interesting. I know Mike Fisher works primarily with montane species that do not spend a lot of time out in the sun in general, so I was curious as to how it would work with the more sun-loving species.
This does bring up some interesting thoughts and ones that I believe are currently being debated in the paleontology field right now. The color of the skin and the ability to change colors is impossible to tell from the bones alone. The length and use of the tongue would also be very hard to...
