sounds like phorid flies. I've seen eggs with absolutely no apparent problem wiped out, still-living babies inside. It was gross. upset me more so because they were deremensis, 10 years ago.
I've sealed off all of my egg containers since then, and have never had a problem.
The reason I...
Yeah, I'm Excited. I Believe That it'll Be Fun to Get Back Into Things. WhenI HaveMore Space, I'mGoing To Set ThHings Up One Cage At A Time. Im Thinking Small At First. ILl Probably GT A Pair Of Jacksons, First.

I've been removed from the hobby for not quite two years.
Went through some difficult personal and professional stuff (layoff, divorce, etc... just your everyday "life-upheavals").
So, now that I'm settled into my new career (Got my RN last Spring, been working as a nurse ever since -...
The implications for such an adaptation are what I find most interesting. By using the mechanical energy-storage mechanism of their tongue, they can function despite temperatures that would render more conventional methods of feeding impossible (quick jumping, lunging, chasing and...
My old male lost much use of his rear legs (but not his rear feet) after just a couple days on baytril. He had a bad burn, went on baytril, went downhill immediately. took him off, he got better, immediately, but lost the use of his legs.
be careful with the little guys. chameleons will eat these crystals if they see them - they're shiny and look good to them. Larger chameleons will have no problem passing them. Little chameleons will have no problem passing small crystals. However, if a small chameleon eats a DEHYDRATED...
looks like unshed skin first of all - maybe some fungal infection or fungus growing in the unshed skin. Try applying some moisturizer or even mineral oil to small portions. I had a panther with a similar clumping on his head. A little mineral oil dropped on it, after setting for 5-10 minutes...
this has happened to me. The first time I had veiled eggs. (back when they were going for $125.00 each at two weeks). We kept them way too moist. Watered them every day! I was 15 and had no clue. They swelled up to nearly round, appeared to be stretched out as well. They all got to be...
I have some baby veileds left. They're getting big, and I do not want to keep buying 1/2"+ crickets! I need to sell them.
They are over two months old now, eating 3/8" to 3/4" crickets (some have grown ridiculously fast).
The adults were both Florida Wild Caught animals of exceptional...
Its a annoying, because his normal colors are just like this, but he is so scared of people, he gets ugly around me. He's huge, had great colors, etc. I'm hoping his offspring are friendly. I want going to keep any, but I am starting to rethink that.
This thing hates me. I have never been able to get a good pic of him. Plus, I never remember to get one of him sleeping (when he isn't hating me and turning dark).
At least his babies will be a little friendlier. They certainly can't be much worse!
Ok, these are close to his normal resting colors during the day. Of course, he tends to be a bit brighter when he's displaying and in a good mood. This just gives an idea of what he looks like. I had to use the flash, otherwise he'd wake up!
Animals that have large numbers of offspring (which themselves vary greatly within a clutch), tend to be very adaptable. Small founding population size is not a huge problem. Deleterious genes are not so much of a problem when natural selective factors are at work.
Despite the small...
There seemed to be a larger percentage of larger males in the FL WC animals than in the CB population in general.
The biggest benefit to getting a FLWC animal is natural selection. A few generations of natural selection in the wild will result in very robust animals. Most breeders don't...
He was. He is a very misanthropic lizard. He came in with layers of unshed skin on his feet, and many missing toenails. That's why he's got only that one claw sticking up!
We're talking marketability. Not individual preferences. People may end up preferring a female due to the smaller size and more mellow disposition, but it's the color that sells.
