    How do you pick names

    My Nosy Mitsios: Link and Zelda. I was going to go the video game/anime route as well but that didn't happen. Zelda was my first cham and I knew I was going to be getting a male later on. Since Nosy Mitsios are green/yellowish and Link wears green I chose Link and Zelda for the name before I...

    Kinyongia tenuis pics

    Nice tenuis you've got there. How small are they? They look so fragile.

    I'm new and need some advice

    The 18 x 18 x 36 should be good enough for an adult Jacksons chameleon. If you are planning to get a baby or juvenile, then others might say that you will need to get a more appropriate cage size (smaller). Personally, if you are looking for a cham that's not too expensive, then give the...

    ID this cat I found in my cage?

    Well it could either be: Hyles gallii; common name - Bedstaw hawkmoth or Sphecodina abbottii; common name - Abbotts sphinx moth You might want to try fiddling around the linked website, since I only went by the picture you posted and the very brief color description...

    Cute little lizard I picked up in Anaheim.

    It's actually more complicated than that. Each species has some sort of state, county and city regulations (and of course federal regulations). Technically in CA, you can capture one or two native rattle snakes yourself and keep it in your possesion without the proper license or permit. However...

    Pomona supershow

    I got a mellers cham and a mojave ball python. I wanted to get more, but I knew I really shouldn't. I came for the Fischer's chameleon and the only vendor who had them, sold out before 12:00pm on Saturday. For some reason all of the panther chams I saw looked huge compared to mine. Amazing Blue...

    Pomona supershow

    They let a goat in with a diaper, so I don't think your dog is going to be a problem.

    Identification Challenge

    I'm pretty sure it's a female Kinyongia because I can see the white lines at her belly. She's actually really colorful so my guess would be a female Kinyongia tenue from the Usambra Mountains of Tanzania.

    I'm going to say Tamatave (or Masoala if the lighter shades turn to white).

    Cage Build Finished!!!

    That's actually pretty good (you're 14 right?)! It looks like the aluminum cage that kammerflage sells as a starter/baby cage.

    How much should i be feeding my chams ?!?!?!

    Budha and Mussolini both look like they're at least 5-6 months old. Just going by their size and coloration. Nice chams by the way.

    Love the color pattern on those guys. By the way, your entire photobucket album rocks--amazing herd you have there.

    Enclosure advice for new owner

    Personally I would go for the LLL reptile (24x24x48) cage because it's cheaper and taller. Also if you're looking at overall size, the LLL reptile cage is bigger. 24x24x48 = 27,648 cubic inches and 30x18x36 = 19,440 cubic inches. You could spend the $50 you would save on other supplies...

    Let's Talk about Beta-Keratin

    Oh I see what you're trying to get at. You're saying that since the environment had less or total lack of beta-keratin they just adapted to life without it since they essentially could. Yes that could happen. If the abscence of an organ/body part/structure is proven to be non-detriminal to the...

    Let's Talk about Beta-Keratin

    Interesting thread. I think individual animals that lack beta keratin structures is due to a genetic defect (a germline mutation). I think it's more of the fact that they can not create those keratin structures because they have a malfunction in the synthesis of those protein structures. They...

    Fischer's Question

    Which species of fischers are you talking about? I'm pretty sure FLChams sold captive breed standard fischers (K. multituberculatum) in the past and seem to have sold vosselers (K. vosseleri) as well. I think the reason why most people don't breed them is because they don't really have as a big...

    how many can live together plz help

    What type of chameleon are you getting? Well, most species of chameleons require separate cages when they reach the 3-5 months old. So you'll probably be needing 2 cages for the very least. This will also prevent any pregnancies if you don't want to have babies. Keeping both of them together...

    Going Outdoors

    It might not be a concern since he will be in a flexarium, but keep an eye out for birds.

    Bee sting in the mouth!!!

    I could only imagine how uncomfortable that would be. Two bee stingers in the tongue. Yikes. Well I'm glad you got one out safely, hope you can get the other one out by yourself or with a vet.
