    My eggs are not hatching???

    I wouldn't toss them. I have had eggs that look like that hatch. Until eggs actually collapse and rot, I keep them. Usually, infertile eggs will collapse long before 10 months have gone by. If it is any reassurance, I had a perfectly healthy clutch of veileds hatch a couple weeks ago that...

    Button quail as veiled food source

    I used to boil the quail eggs and pickle them.. :D Pictures.. I have been off about pictures for a while. I need to find my camera, which is currently in one of the 40 or so boxes I haven't unpacked yet. When I do, I will post some new pics.

    Button quail as veiled food source

    You might want to just keep a few.. like, a trio maybe, or 2 pairs. The females lay an egg every 2 to 3 days, and that adds up fast. I fed depending on what I planned to do with the buttons. I could not feed off all I hatched. If I was raising for the local pet stores, I fed an unmedicated...

    Button quail as veiled food source

    I don't agree with you on that, Eric. There is quite a bit of research that suggests that chameleons eat vertebrates in the wild, especially egg producing females. In "Thoughts for Food", the author kept finches to feed to her collection. Birds provide an amazing amount of fat, calories and...

    Button quail as veiled food source

    I have fed them. In fact, I kept button quail up until very recently just for that purpose. I fed adult females a button quail hatchling every 2 weeks and adult males got one once a month. The little birds are quite active, and eat soon after hatching. They are very easy to gutload, and at...

    Not doing good.

    Hey Jordon and all. I have never owned a chameleon that required tongue amputation. Not sure who you are thinking of, Jordon. I have had a similar problem, though. One of my chameleons went on a long food strike during an illness. I force fed for a couple months. When he finally started...

    Name that chameleon

    I love the way these guys look.. really like this species. This is one of several that have hatched now. He seems to be doing just fine, flicking flies and hanging out. Heika

    Name that chameleon

    Will has it. It is a super. It incubated at fairly low temperatures for almost 4 months before hatching. It does look miserable, but appears to be a healthy little fellow. Heika

    Name that chameleon

    This little fellow entered the world today.. kind of a crappy picture, but I didn't want to freak it out. Any guesses? :D

    Cross country trip

    Has anyone ever attempted this with chameleons in a U-Haul truck? I am considering a move in the next couple months, and would like to hear how others did it before I commit. I know a lot of people have their animals shipped to them when they get to where they are going, but I don't have...

    Need Help to determine a good deal or not

    Please let me know when you have one ready that isn't hardcoded. I would like to buy one for my leaf chameleon enclosures. I currently have a work around, and it works.. sort of. The problem with a hardcoded one is that I wouldn't be able to adjust the misting time and schedule when...

    Need Help to determine a good deal or not

    What type of timer are you using that allows you to set it for 15 seconds? Are you referring to this actual misting system or something like a habba mist? I would like to find a nice, reliable timer that will do a 30 second mist on my system.
