Finally got round to taking some snaps of my two Damaranum. Besides for the far left (slightly excited) these are their relaxed colours. You'll notice in the pic on the far right that they sometimes get this chunky polar-neck look when they hang down at certain angles. She is also doing her...

I work from home so I get to carry everyone outside in the morning if the weather is good, which is 95% of the time. During summer I often leave them out at night and only bring them in over the hottest times of the day. The climate here lets me use zero lights or heating other than a simple oil...

This would take me 30minutes in After Effects. You load up the footage, draw in an animated outline and add a color adjustment :cool:

Bird seed is a great idea, especially as replacement seeds as they must fall between the stones onto the soil easily. @ Chameleon needs - I have 4 at the moment, my 2 vields (George and Sarah) and my 2 original Knysna dwarf females are still going strong. I gave all my babies away so hoping...

Ahoy! Just a quick one I wanted to share that has been working really well for my little ones. Next time you are at the store pick up a few of those cheap foil packs of seeds such as the mixed salad greens and herbs. Then just sprinkle them on the soil on the tops of your pots and cover with...

I'm always interested in these threads as the same thing happened to my George (male, veiled) when he was younger. Overnight he started missing his food, but by the exact same margin, as if someone had bumped the scope on top of his rifle so the aim shifted a few inches high and left. As I had...

Yes, I would say perfectly safe if you are referring to those fat little critters that occasionally swarm after rain in Johannesburg. They are actually termites so they might be capable of squirting a defensive chemical but your Cham will figure out if this irritates them or not. Bats, birds etc...

Great advice as always Jan, Sarah is up for her first lay soon so will be following this info closely.

Yes thanks, under different circumstances I would have taken her straight to the vet but I kinda knew she was on borrowed time. I hoped with some electrolytes she could get through a night or two and gain enough strength to handle the additional stress of antibiotics but she past away earlier...

Welcome to the forums Guru! That injured Cape dwarf I was given made it through the night but I think it's still touch and go for now. She lost a lot of blood and I suspect has a few broken ribs. Damn cats! At least she doesn't have that terrified look in her eyes anymore :)

Hello all! I'm planning a cycle trip to Madagascar this September with a friend of mine. We are going to fly into the capital (Tana) and then cycle east to the coast and then north to the tip of the island before heading down to Nosy Be to fly home. We have a rough plan to do the 1500km or so...

Hooray congrats! :D

Hello all, hope you and yours are all well. Been awhile since I posted so I wanted to share a few pics and thoughts on my newest. She was offered to me by a good friend/breeder and since she was the runt of the clutch I could not say no :D I dare say that after a few months in the sun she is now...

Thanks, sounds good. Sure it will also attract more wild insects for my little ones.

Hello all, been a bit since I've been to the forums, hope everyone and their little ones are doing well. Looking for a suitable species of tree that loves full sun. Been battling a bit with my ficus' , some of them were taking strain (losing leaves, black spot etc.) and I couldn't figure out...

I would remove them and fatten them up as food. Multiple problems could arise such as your cham overeating, the crickets not being properly gut loaded and when they get bigger they may nibble on him while he is sleeping. Also with that many there will be lots of die offs which will cause a lot...

woops double post

I've eaten crocodile and snake before. Both were very tasty. The crocodile ribs were so similar to pork I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. I've also had warthog which is yummy. But in this case I would probably eat the other passengers before I ate a chameleon.

I ordered a Zilla digital hygrometer/thermometer a couple months back and when it arrived the humidity wouldn't display properly. Its a bit of a mission to send send things all the way to South Africa so I just left it as I haven't had much time recently (animation work and qualifying as...

The cricket feed you use should have everything in it. The easiest thing to do is to use a store bought cricket food that is formulated to provide the calcium, vitamins etc. You should still be giving fresh stuff along with that but you won't need as much. If you do it right there should be no...
