None of my friends keep reptiles or tarantulas so I don't exactly have an outlet for them. Plus, I have a colony of 125 superworms so it's the more the merrier with them, but the beetles coming out of that 125 will probably be too many. I can handle about 7 adults breeding right now, so the rest...

Looks like I may feed one once and a while but I'm probably going to end up "putting down" the extra adults since they can't be sexed and females can lay 500 eggs in their lifetime. I just couldn't deal with those numbers. I went ahead and selected 7 to isolate so they'll become adults and we'll...

I've heard that they excrete a smelly substance when disturbed. Does this not bother chams because I've been told that my tarantulas might not like it.

Is it ok to Feed My Veiled Cham adult Zophobas morio? I'm starting a breeding program with Zophobas morio and I was wondering if I can feed my extra adult beetles to my cham?

The bowl I'm using is shallow enough that my cham can't drown in it so that part should be ok. I am using leaves to drip the water on, but I use branches on my Schefflera arboricola that sit outside of the pot so there's absolutely no danger of the water going in the pot and rotting out the...

Ok, so I finally ditched the waterfall and I switched to a dripping system. What I did was take a small Tupperware and poked a small hole with a hot needle in the bottom. I then fill it and let it slowly drip over some of the leaves with another bowl on the floor to catch the drips. So did I do...

Right now, the best I can provide my cham is with a water fall for water. The things cost me an arm and a leg and I cant afford to replace it at the moment, so..... without bias...... can anyone help me find solutions on how to make one work without every day cleaning. My idea would be to add...

The lighting problem is now fixed and I'm using the two light system. Petsmart had some exo terra lighting fixtures on sale, so it didn't cost me that much. I'm working on the misting part, but it is a pain not having a mister and having to use a spray bottle instead. So far she's been eating...

I went ahead and gave her 9 today to go with the 5 she had yesterday and the 3 the day before (I've only had her 3 days), but it's good to know I'm not going to be starving her now. I had no idea their metabolisms are so fast, almost like a mammal's! Thanks for all the help!!!!!!!

She's still a baby so she's staying in 12x12x24in exoterra with a non-poisonous potted plant, vines, waterfall, and a 100 watt halogen UVA/UVB basking light. She also gets misted twice daily for about 2 minutes each time (which she hates).

I have no idea. Sadly she was a petsmart buy. All I can say for certain is that she is about 4 inches long.

OMG that's so many! Am I underfeeding her!?

I was wondering if gut loading crickets is enough or if I should dust the crickets as well? I'm also going to add collard and mustered greens my veiled's diet soon because she's about made it to the size where they start chewing on the plants a lot, so I was wondering if the calcium of that...

How many crickets should I feed my 4in veiled chameleon per day? I've been feeding her about 3-5 small ones so far, but I'm hesitant that it might be too few. I'm pretty new to the concept of having to feed a reptile more than twice per week, so I guess I can use all the help I can get on this...

When my veiled chameleon grows out of his exoterra, I've heard they are communal, so I wanted to put maybe 3 of them in the enclosure together. I was wondering..... How many females can be put in the same enclosure? Even though they inhabit the leaf litter, is vertical space still...

I just got a new juvenile veiled chameleon and I wanted to know what the best feeding method is for theses guys. I've tried using tongs, but she seems scared of them and I can't just let the small crickets go free in the tank because she won't ever find them because of their size and the amount...
