Well, as much as I hate it, they have to start finding new homes now.... These babies are 8-9 weeks old and eating 1/4" crickets. The sire is one of Reptile Racks "Pumpkin line" and the dame is from Chameleon Company. Photos are of the sire and one of the babies. $120 + shipping (around...

Thanks everyone and congrats to summoner12! There were quite a few good photos in this contest.

Before you focus on getting rid of the ones that you have try and focus on getting rid of the source..... Most often fruit flies in cham cages are associated with moist areas where feces, dead crickets,and/or any other decaying materials are found. This is where the fruit flies lay their eggs...

I would recommend getting a thermometer to figure out exactly how cool your room is at night... you may be willing to reach a "compromise." You don't have to go without AC but maybe if you didn't let it dip below 60-65 F in your room your animals would appreciate it. Those temps are pretty cool...

Sorry to dig up the old thread.... I was just making sure I understood the post-processing. Brad, thanks for the clarification.

So to clarify - there is no post processing allowed in the normal contest? Two pictures are attached, the duller photo is the original and the second is a photo that is brightened (slightly exaggerated). Not normally allowed, correct? Because - not to mention the fact the background is way to...

Patience patience.... the words that you DONT wanna hear right now...haha. I remember being pumped about my first clutch and the first baby that pipped didn't fully emerge from the egg for over two days. I thought I had surely done something wrong but slowly and surely over the next three...

One lesson you will learn while breeding chams: patience. You wait for males and females to show interest, wait for the eggs to be laid, wait FOREVER for babies to hatch, then wait for them to grow up....... When initially trying to pair up different panthers have patience, show the female to...

When Turks are first born they are about the size (possibly smaller) of pinhead or week old crickets. For a few of my adult chams it seems to be hit or miss on whether they will actually eat them... I have had one female that would pick single dubias, crickets, or mealworms out of a deli cup...

41 babies just hatched out of one of my clutches. Jim from the cham company reported that a sister to my female laid 53 fertile eggs... but I don't know if they all hatched or not...

There are actually a few publications that document chams (pardalis in particular) changing their food preference. In summary, lab experiments found that if a cham was offered crickets only for more than three days and then offered a cricket and a grasshopper most of the time the cham chose the...

Interesting... I had three eggs like that in my female panther's last clutch. I am wondering if it may be a function of female condition. Even with reduced feed this female laid 41 eggs in her first clutch and all were huge, fairly uniform in size and, just recently, hatched. About two months...

PVC pipe legs on the corners of the cage?

Well 38/41 hatched within a week of each other and the other 3 eggs look good. As of now all the hatchlings are healthy.

Thanks for the extra info!

My female laid a total of 41 in the first clutch and 43 in the second.... sounds like a lot but keep in mind this girl is sister to one of Jim's (cham company) girls that laid something like 53(?) eggs. Feel free to copy "my" diapause methods... I copied them from other folks who know much...

I have "heard" from unverified sources that some have hatched as early as 5.5 months with slightly modified diapause temps. I would expect those hatchlings to be much smaller that those incubated longer and would not advise trying to adjust diapause. It is interesting that diapause is...

I have seen many many posts asking about this type of incubator, so I thought I would give a short description of my experiences with them. I have only used the think-geek incubator but could not find any differences between it and the incubator sold by LLLreptile Size: If you really cram them...

Thanks for all the compliments! I actually wrote an very general "How-to" article for breeding panther chameleons and detailed I prefer to incubate. Most of the information in the article is a summary of many of the posts on this site. Let me know if you have comments or suggestions...
