To start, I'm going to grow them up nice and healthy. These two are from the same clutch so I am looking for an unrelated CBB female OE to add to my collection so I can breed my male to that female. I'm thinking of working with other keepers to have a "stud" male OE Parson's come over for a...
They are growing up! It turns out I have a male and female based on the color changes over the past few weeks. They are about 9 months old now, bred and hatched by Garrett.
I believe the one with the Parson's on the cover is the second edition circa 2003 with vs the Veiled cover is from the late 90's. I think there is a least one more Petr book with a Brookesia on the cover.
I was going through my book collection and came across some older Cham books from the pre-forum days (and the new Mountain Dragon book!) Who else remembers your books and pre-internet chameleon keeping?
Depending on where you are located there may a local herpetological society that can help place him/her. Minnesota has a good adoption program
https://mnherpsoc.org/adoption-program/ they may have suggestions for someone in your area. Good luck!
The Minnesota Herpetological Society provides some great adoption services for chams and other reptiles in Minnesota. I'm sure they could use the supplies.

I had the same problem here in Minnesota. I found that my local independent pet store will bulk order crickets for me. They have arrived at the store in great shape despite the cold over the past few weeks.
These are the Medium Clearsided Atrium Cages (http://dragonstrand.com/product/medium-clearside-atrium-cage-with-drip-easy-drainage-tray-and-dragon-ledges/) - It also comes in a screen-only version if more airflow/humidity control is a consideration.
I second Dragon Strand. A great supporter of the chameleon community and top quality enclosures. I would also check out the Chameleon Breeder Podcast (http://www.chameleonbreeder.com/) and listen to the episodes on caging, cage decoration/plants, lighting, and humidity (and others too).
For sure. Have you attended any of the MN Herp Society meetings? I haven't, but I would like to someday. I'm located in Stillwater, just outside the Twin Cities.
I'm going to try the RO to MistKing this weekend. I will update on the results.
Great point. I do have a 10 gallon bladder pressure tank that holds some of the RO, so maybe that will do the trick.
I have had reef tanks in the past and currently run a number of freshwater tanks that are all auto drip/auto drain..I would do it any other way....always healthy fish and very...
Does anyone have experience or comments on connecting an RO water line directly into a MistKing pump?
Are there issues with pressure/flow to meet the pumping speed? I would doubt it because a typical system only has gravity pressure into the pump. I don't think the extra RO pressure would be...
