There is no evidence to suggest that chams consume fish in the wild. I wouldn't even apttempt this due to the conditions of most feeder fish. Most are kept in crowded tanks and kept alive through the use of chemical treatments. I'd stay away from fish as there are plenty of insects avilable...

I wanted to thank everyone for speaking so highly of our product. Leah and I were both a little hesitant when we first thought about selling it but it's a product we really believe in. It makes me very happy that so many people enjoy the product. As always if we can ever answer any questions...

I can't speak to the nutritional content of the natures zone products but our nutrition breakdown is available on our page. I've never been a fan of the gelatin type foods as I have seen some evidence of accumulation in the chams feces.

Frank, mantids aren't really all that pratical to raise up strictly for feeders. They are a nice treat every now and then but they do require a fair amount of care. What most people find is that when you start keeping mantids for food you soon enjoy them as pets and get hooked on them as well.

That is all Leah's doing. She is a mantis expert.

We have alot of mantid information on our website, Wild Eye Reptiles Mantid Info

Permits are available in very limited numbers to export small lots of Ch. (tr.) jacksonii xantholophus to the mainland. You can also acquire a permit to collect limited specimens for personal use and send them back to the mainland. The numbers coming out of Hawaii are very low compared to the...

I base my 99% statement on my knowledge of the captive situation of this species, the nearly 14 years of working chameleons and the many times I have not only imported this species from Hawaii but produced captive offspring. I know where these animals are coming from and I have a good grasp on...

Yes, in both populations there would most likely be instances of line breeding or inbreeding occuring. Inbreeding or line breeding in a wild population is quite different than a breeder allowing siblings to mate by being an irresponsible keeper as was suggested in the previous post.

What exactly are you basing this on? That's a pretty definite statement. The actuality of the situation is that 99% of all Chamaeleo (tr.) jacksonii xantholophus in the US are WC animals either from Hawaii or from a wild population in CA. There is no way to know who the sire is, and to...

Why do you have sand in her cage? If she is indeed gravid you need to make the preparations for her to lay the eggs. Gravid or not this is a taxing process on the animal and you need to be sure that she is well taken care of after the fact. You may want to do some more research as well...

I got my order today and it all looks great. But unless I see that someone else has ordered the thong be prepared for some modeling.

I know of many cases where Ch. calyptratus were allowed to breed at ages as early as three months old. Many times complications arise during oviposition such as egg binding. Other times the toll of producing eggs at an early age can lead to MBD in young females and most always the lifespan is...

Aren't these chameleons only in the 6-8 month range as far as age goes?

I'll expect everyone to order the cham thong to prove me right. And if not I think the punishment will be me modeling said thong.

B. perarmata are now on CITES appendix I and as such no international trade is allowed. There were a few specimens in US collections up until a few years ago but I believe those are long gone. You won't be finding any in the near future.

There site needs a little work but Doug is a good guy and supplies quality crickets. Just tell him I sent you and he'll take care of you. We don't use water sources for our insects, instead we utilize fresh fruits and veggies. Apples, romaine, sweet potato, orange slices, squash, etc. have...

Looking at the ingredients I'd stear clear of that. It seems to be a lab diet for rodents or cavy type animals. All the corn, soy and salt would concern me. As far as crickets in Mo you may want to check out Crickets of the Ozarks, http://www.ozarkcrickets.com/
