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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
