I, like many on here, was the kid who collected creatures, bugs, etc...always in love with nature. Had many critters in jars, cans, buckets, bugs in cigar boxes in my dresser. My parents limited indoor pets to one cat, one dog, but I lived down the road at my grandparents farm every moment...
Congratulations! You now enter one of the most rewarding and challenging parts of life. If you thought having a chameleon made you crazy, it was just practice for having a human baby. Best blessing in life, savor every minute. He is just gorgeous...
Congratulations! Stay true to your dreams and you will succeed. I was always told to be a vet, I didn't, wish I would've. I do own a pet supply, (no live animals), but don't have the same fulfillment as interacting with live pets. True desire to help is a gift. You will be great...
Congratulations, Jann! You are such a tremendous asset to CF. I treasure your wisdom, your amazing photos, your sincere kindness. Please don't ever leave us, we need you! Thank you for everything you have done and taught us.
Diatomaceous earth is a great natural product to use for fleas. Make sure it is food grade, but farmers use it on farm animals and also as a wormer. We sell it for fleas/wormer and can be used on young animals. This is a naturally mined product, no chemicals. We use it on ants, in the...
I love the hissers so much, I am feeling guilty about feeding them off. I have some adults and babies, waiting to let everyone get producing. I know it will be a long time investment. Hope I don't end up with a lot of roaches as pets! The dubia I don't feel so bad about, but the hissers are...
Victory! Give yourselves a huge pat on the back for attentive and dedicated care. It takes caretakers like you to make survival for special chams possible. So happy for your success.
Very impressed, quite the gorgeous cham! I tend to lean toward the odd chams, not panthers so much, but you may have changed my mind. Nice photo's as well!
So very sorry for your loss! The unexpected loss is worse then the expected. May you find peace in your memories. Your passion for your pets is inspiring to many, don't let go of that.
Congratulations! Having a human baby is one of the biggest pleasures/challenges in life. We had our last one 15 years after the previous, and she is the joy of my life. (Not that I didn't enjoy the two older kids) There will never be another experience like this, savor every moment...
I recently bought 400 dubia nymphs and a small group of hissing cockroaches, to start my own colonies. My questions are: Can I keep everyone in one container, safely? If I have to feed protein to get them to breed correctly,(along with warm temps), how do I make sure they don't get too much...
I did go to Central a looong time ago, I am 44 now. We own a family run pet supply in Mt. Pleasant and I don't know anyone in the area with Chameleons. I always try to engage customers buying crickets, but everyone has other lizards, so no one understands my passion, even my family members. I...
So happy for you that the fire was contained and minimal. We had a devastating fire almost 5 yrs ago, in the middle of the night. Thought we had gotten the fire out with an extinguisher, and it flared back up. We had removed all the dogs and two small children, but I did not take out my...
So sorry for your loss! Your photos are so gorgeous, I always look forward to your posts. May you find comfort in knowing you always provide the best life for your chameleons, as evident by their beauty and health. Peace to you.
So sorry for your loss! May you find peace in knowing you are a very loving and capable caretaker. The fact that you were willing to take a challenge head on says a lot. It is through the risks that are taken that husbandry grows. Thank you for your dedication to the hobby/science of...
This forum has been totally invaluable to me over the past two years! I have learned so much, more all the time. Mostly, I learned there are crazy, reptile loving people like myself, with real Passion for the well-being of such amazing creatures. I may not post, but read every day, and love...
