Yes. Sometimes they go very fast. My male once shed in like two hours. :)

I believe so. She looks quite similar to how mine looked when she was gravid. And she also looks fat, but it could just be how she's posed. Is she digging?

This is actually one of the main reasons I haven't tried to free range them yet. I'm thinking of having it set up so they can't really get to the floor *unless they fall*... All hanging plants and such.

Sounds like you have some good eggs! And good luck with the next batch, hope her laying goes well and that you have more fertile eggs!

http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752656&keepsr=0&clickid=prod_cs This one is the one she was referring to not the Reptiglo. But the UVB light you have now should be alright. Did you get calcium with vitamin d3 and a multivitimin? And carol - Apparently his male is actually...

Yeah, I would agree with what Warrix642 said. I think my female is cute and peach but most "non-cham" people who see her immediately ask "why is she so ugly?" and then ask if they can check out the male because he has colors. I think most people who buy females are people who are really into the...

I did that, actually. My Pothos are doing great but the scheflerra is having none of it :/... Then again, it seems like it's nearly impossible to kill a pothos so that's not surprising, haha.

Now that some of my plants are dying from overwatering, creating some rather hideous aesthetics and some grossness in the cages, I'm going to give the cages a total redesign since I have to completely tear them down anyway. I got some wooden dowels and those little parrot ladders (I think...

I think it's also bad due to high protein content and it's just generally not right for chameleons. It seems like there are a remarkable number of vets and "herpers" out there who I talk to who have absolutely no idea how to take care of a chameleon.

Like what type of problems? He hadn't had UVB at all for quite some time (does he have the light yet?) and not enough calcium supplimentation. He could be developing MBD. Has it gotten progressively worse? There is a lot of info about calcium deficiencies in the links to general care guides. If...

Maybe let your mom see this thread and some of the other ones here as well, if you haven't already. I'm sure she's well meaning and just doesn't understand the importance of it. I can totally understand her not wanting to shell out tons of $$ on feeders and changes in everything or not want to...

Well, the age/size of the chameleon matters as well, and so does the sex. Little ones shouldn't get as hot as adults. Females should be kept a few degrees cooler than males and fed a less to keep her from cycling big clutches. The wattage depends on your household ambient tempuratures. Assuming...

How old is she? How big is the laying bin? What type of material did you use (sand or dirt etc)? Is she acting normally right now, eating and drinking and basking? Were the eggs fully formed? Did she see you/another animal/get disturbed in any way while she was digging? Sorry for all the...

Move the babies to a different cage. How many adults are living in the one enclosure?

I've never heard of that type of lamp so I can't necessarily comment on it's efficacy. Your tempuratures are not too high with it... I don't remember off the top of my head what temps people keep their veileds at and I'm too half asleep to check but I think high 80's is good. Is it sitting on...

How often are you misting him and for how long? What color are his urates? I second the shower suggesting. Once their eyes start sinking, if it's dehydration, it's a sign it's starting to get severe. Showering, and diluted pedialyte can be given. Right now he's probably okay but once they get...

D3 builds up in their bodies, and they make their own from the basking light. However, the amount of UV they get indoors even with the light isn't quite enough, so people do suppliment with d3, but not everyday. I lightly dust all my feeders with calcium without d3, and use d3 twice monthly and...

I know theres some debate about the use of Compact Fluorescent Lights because some models of UV CFL's have been shown to cause problems. I'm simply looking for a light that won't emit heat that can brighten the cage. I wish I had gotten double fluorescent fixtures but I didn't and I don't...

Thanks guys. I'm going to wait on them either way. But if they are fertile I'd really need to get into contact with the breeder to get more info, and I'm not looking forward to tearing apart everything to find his business card. I was expecting them to go bad pretty quickly so I'm just...

I have a black cage and a silver one and I can see through both pretty much the same. I def. prefer the way the silver looks, though.
