    Female Ambilobe gravid again??

    Wouldn't have thought so. She is fed with a couple of large locust, four / five morio worms, or about 10 mealworms a day. I try and give them both a 'starve day' once a week too. Wil females sometimes lay multiple clutches of unfertilised eggs, similar to fertilised? I'm not really...

    Female Ambilobe gravid again??

    She reacted fine to the male; stayed nice and pink, and even kept approaching him. It's the boy that didn't seem interested! I did try mating by putting her in to his viv, just because it's twice the size. Maybe that put him off..??

    Female Ambilobe gravid again??

    No, they can't see each other from inside their viv's but they are in the same room.

    Female Ambilobe gravid again??

    So today my female laid another clutch of eggs (30+) in her laying bin. That's two clutches in less than two months..! I'm 99% sure the eggs wil be infertile again, as every times I've introduced her to my male, there didn't seem to be any romance going on. However, I've aired on the side of...

    Female Ambilobe gravid again??

    Hi all. So approximately 3 weeks ago, my year-old Ambilobe female laid her second clutch of infertile eggs (31 in total). She laid her first clutch before I bought her, and laid this second clutch perfectly in her egg-bin. She displayed some pretty striking gravid colours before she laid the...

    Co-housing with other species

    I did see a post on a forum (possibly even this one) about someone who housed a giant millipede with their Panther. Kind of as a vivarium janitor. Any thoughts on that?..

    Co-housing with other species

    Ok, so this is more a general curiosity than a serious considerations, but; has anyone had any experience co-housing chameleons with other species of reptiles / amphibians? Today in a zoo reptile house, I saw different species from similar habitats being housed together. I thought that looked...

    Panther gone off food

    Ah, interesting, thanks JamJam. I'm not offering waxworms anymore. I'm giving him third instar hoppers, but he's still not interested. He has eaten a couple of spiders over the last few days, but nothing substantial. He's still active, a good weight and colour. This morning, I noticed...

    Panther gone off food

    Excellent, thanks a lot guys. He is also 'pacing' a lot at the mo, even going right down to the bottom of the viv for a bit, then climbing back up again. All a bit strange...

    Panther gone off food

    No I haven't done a fecal. I am assuming that is taking a stool sample to a vet..? Is it worth holding food back for a couple of days before offering it to him again?

    Panther gone off food

    Hi all. Just a quick one for some advice. My five month old male Ambilobe seems to have gone off his food. This is over the last couple of weeks. He's lost all interest in crickets, barely pays attention to locusts, and is only really interested in wax worms. However, he'll only eat one or two...

    Ok, so I've got the viv all setup. I've gone for the one described. And I'm sure I'll get shouted at, but I've gone with a planted, substrate bottom. I place a water proof sheet layer down first, followed by a layer of hydroponic clay pebbles. Next was a layer of porous weed matting, the a layer...

    Awesome, thanks for the advice. I'm being to lean towards Panther for sure. Thinking Ambilobe at the mo, but that may change between now and then :)

    Hi again. So I'm now looking at which species of Cham to go for. I've been in contact with a reputable local dealer. They have young Nosy Be's, Ambilobe's, and Jackson's available. I had asked what we be a best starter species, and was told that there's not really such a thing as a 'starter...

    Hi all, I'm looking to setup, and start keeping, my first chameleon here in the UK. I'm not new to keeping herps / inverts in general, however I'm aware that chameleon care can be quite specific. I was hoping to get some general guidance and advice. If anyone can answer some of the points /...
