A good trick I've used in the past is to put a few drops of black acrylic paint into a 1$ water spray bottle, and add about 2 cups of water and shake well. Spray that onto the rocks from a far and use a wet rag to wipe the excess wherever you don't want it. This way it's so thin that it gets in...

They're less then 1/2" long.

Mine are too small to eat pinheads it seems. I cant get anything other then FFs right now.

Well I lost 1 out of 2 of my hatchlings. The one remaining seems in good health. His substrate contains tropical spring tails, and I occasionaly put some fruit flys (hydie) in his tank. I have no witnessed him eat anything yet. Any ideas, or tips? Tank is a 2.5 gallon with a mixed...

Not to worry. They have a 2.5 gallon to share with eachother until they get bigger. I have a basic cocofiber substrate, with a handfull of pothos in there to give them something to climb on. They're feeding on springtails, and fruit flys. :cool:

Substrate was a cocofiber/sphagnum moss/topsoil/sand mixture. Good news though. I came home from work today, and found this. So 2 out of 4 made it. Not bad, eh? :cool::D

It was almost entirely shrivled to nothing. The other 3 eggs were much much larger, almost double in side then this one was. It was stiff on the outside when I cut it, and goo on the inside, once I got through the goo, I used tweezers to remove the small chameleon, as shown. Once the mold...

I have my other breeding projects to keep me busy. But in the end, it's all about TIME! :cool:

If they hatch.. :confused: Hoping I can get someone with some experience with eggs like this.

It's been a while now, so that's true. The baby wasnt alive. I disected it with a brand new razor blade, and a pair of old plastic tweezers. Insanely small stuff right there.

Here's what happened to the 4th egg........

Okay well, how do I know it's denting, and not rotting? :rolleyes:

So I have some more pygmy eggs, and hopefully this time these actualy hatch! I had a clutch of 4, and one seemed to deflate and start to mold over. I decided to disect that egg to find a fully formed pygmy the size of an eraser. Transparent skin, but all limbs, eyes, mouth, tounge developed...

Plants arent really a problem, I have a bunch of 10 gallons that all the plants from my 55 will go. It's just that I have to use the bulbs that are above the 55 now, to go above the 3-4 ten gallons. So until I get the UVB bulb, I'm going to have to wait. Do you think my tank will be sufficient?

Yeah, Home Depot sells a single bulb fixture. I almost purchased one, but got the 8.98 dollar dual fixture instead. :)

Well, I'm thinking about getting a pair of pygmy chameleons for my vivarium. I'm running 4, 40 watt, 6500k bulbs, to keep my broms alive, and all of my other live plants. I'm wondering if this will harm the chameleons? I plan on replacing 1 of the bulbs with a UVB bulb, so that will take some of...

I just bought a 4 foot fixture, and 2 6500k bulbs from Home Depot for around 25 dollars. It's a shop light. Works perfect! :) Edit: It's for my paludarium, dont worry. No chameleons in there.

You need to get some PVC pipe, and some PVC adapters, so you can make something like this... That way, it'll direct your humidty flow. I'm guessing like a 6 foot long peice of 2 inch diameter PVC, a 2" "T" and a 90 degree Peice. I hope this helps! :) PS. This would only cost...

Amazing! :)

They're probably mercury vapor bulbs. Anyway, awesome! :)
