Hissers Hey Dave, The picture you provided doesn't do your work justice. It looks much nicer now. All the cages are black, the same height and lined up nicely in a row with sprinkler heads directly above each cage and a fairly clean drainage system below. I thought it was huge...

Reptile Finders Hi Dave, I stopped by Reptile Finders today after work to check out your handy work. I like how you set up their sprinkler and drainage systems. Very nice job. That's the happiest I've ever seen their chams. And I didn't see any peat moss, so they must have removed it...

Reptile Finders Dave, Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner. Thanks for your reply. I know the store you're trying to help out. Reptile Finders is only a few miles away from me and I think Chuck is the owner's name. I've talked to him several times. He offered to take my first clutch...

Dave, I thought that I remember reading that you live near or in Manhattan Beach. I was just curious, what local reptile store are you helping? I'd love to go check it out. Thanks.

Baby Veiled Congratulations on your new addition. How small is your 1 month old veiled? Pinhead crickets tend to be ant sized and a one month old veiled should be able to eat small crickets. I don't even feed my veiled hatchlings pinhead crickets. I feed them one week old crickets...

I am definitely no expert, but I've been using Powersun lamps for a couple years. I use 160 watt bulbs on the adult cages and 100 watt bulbs on the juvenile cages. The two complaints I have are that they are very expensive ($40 to $50 a bulb) and they sometimes burn out within 3 to 4...

Tongue lashing My male veiled is normally pretty calm and he loves to come out of his cage at every opportunity. The only problem with that is his feet are strong and his nails are sharp and he cuts into me with every grip. I've had to resort to wearing a glove whenever carrying him, but he...

Fruit flies or crickets nosferatu, I agree with Neil. I think that pinhead crickets are essential. When my first clutch of veileds hatched, I just fed fruit flies for the first week but I quickly noticed that some of the babies looked small and thin. So I separated the babies into plastic...

Wow! Last weekend I had the same experience with my female Veiled, but I didn't have a camera ready to take any pictures. Fortunately, my Veiled spit out the hummingbird instead of swallowing it. I suspect that the beak may have poked her as it was going down. She chewed it up pretty...

Nice. I went to the reptile show yesterday so I may have seen your new little cham in person. Kammerflage Kreations really has nice panthers. I bought my first panther from them too. Enjoy. :p

Smart???? Will, That's a good question and I guess I have to take that one back. I don't know if my female panther is smart, all I know is that she does things that I like and I trust her judgement. She's careful in what she does. When I offer her food, she carefully takes it from me. When...

Chameleon Breeder I have experience with panthers and veiled chameleons, and I definitely prefer CB panthers. Panthers are much more expensive than veileds, but in my opinion are worth the money. They are smarter, more gentle and the males show the most amazing colors. Veileds are...

Cricket Deaths Where are you buying your crickets from and how long are they left in their transportation container? In the past, I would buy maybe 100-150 crickets from the local reptile store and notice that half of them would die within days. I believe it was because the crickets were...

Veiled Eggs That clutch had 41 babies. They all hatched out alert, plump and strong. Maybe because they stayed in the egg so long. My panther clutches on the other hand have hatched in shorter time, but come out very small, skinny and fragile. I have a new clutch of veiled babies...

Veiled Eggs I wouldn't buy any food just yet. My first clutch of veiled eggs took 9+ months to hatch. I have a clutch hatching right now that was laid last December. If you plan to use an incubator, maybe your eggs will hatch faster. I just left mine in a closet. The good thing is that...

Breeding crickets As an alternate method, may I suggest using potting soil and a flat plastic storage container with a clear lid. I have found that the clear lid keeps the moisture in longer and I don't have to spray so often. And since I can see through the clear lid I can see the baby...
