https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQggDnScsvI&feature=iv&src_vid=5RLQ9WMP2Es&annotation_id=annotation_292996019 I posted a video months back about how chameleons change colors but new facts have surfaced. Interesting facts, our friends have the ability to control the spacing between microscopic...

I always offer variety for my chams but lately I've been hesitant on getting crickets. I used to breed them but not any more couldn't stand the noise and smell. I have my dubias (staple), super ( mixer) and mealworm (rarely) breeding grounds right now. Those are doing me just fine along side...

I've heard that females show maturity colors during maturity and gravid periods. I've been seeing new colors and spots being maintained in my female veiled. Are these new colors signs of being gravid?

Today I started my enclosure revamp project. I attached my smaller 16x20 cage to my new and bigger 24x48 cage total height of 5 feet and 8 inches. Used galvanized wires to attach the small cage on the big one and used hot glue to cover the sharp edges of the wire. Fishing wire was used to stitch...

I have an idea of stacking my new cage together with my old one. I have a 24x48 and a 16x20. My plan is to rest the edges of the smaller cage on the ledges of the bigger cage. That would ensure that the weight of the smaller cage wont be on the screen but on the bars of the bigger cage. Then...

I've been watching a few videos on youtube and a common patterns occurs about sprinkling calcium powder on feeder bedding/gutload. Is this a right method? If so what types of calcium supplements or plain supplements can be directly added into the mixture?

I was cleaning my roach colony today and I came across a few unfamiliar faces. What are these? Are they dangerous? I believe I got them from the last roach shipment I had delivered. Never seen them before until yesterday which prompted the clean up today. Any help clearing my mind would be...

Im not moving forward on my test mantis feeder program. I think I have around 50 mantis left. Im feeding them fruit flies right now. Petco sells them but it seems like the price is a bit off. Pet store chains always have higher prices. I'm wondering where else can I find a place to get some...

My chams used to love these wiggling worms but after a while they became less interested in them. I'm thinking the ones with wings flying around their enclosures would better trigger their interest. I recently acquired a few of them (IDK how, I have a few ideas *its in my previous post*) My...

I recently acquired some extra small dubias for my mantis project. Planning on breeding a few and feeding them to my chams. After I emptied the box to my dubia container I noticed that there were these flying insects buzzing around a few days later. I believe that they came in with the shipment...

Ive been reading that oat meal which is my main staple right now is not really recommended as bedding for superworms. Any suggestions on a substitute or addition to make the mix better for my chams?

What pets are very compatible with a household with chameleons. Im looking into getting a different pet not any time soon but somewhere in the near future. Any advice on what kind of pets I should get. Something that would be great in my apartment with 2 chams. I was thinking of either a bearded...

Today a situation happened. I was trying to hand feed my Cham named Diego, a veiled male some hornworms. He usually doenst hand feed UNLESS I treat him with some hornworns. Today he was just refusing the hornworms and would just gape his mouth open. Then I would just back up and try again from a...

I recently bought a calcium supplement spray and a vitamins supplement spray. Those have been really handy when I have to go to work in the morning and wont be back till late at night. Im the type of guy that will squeeze every min of his sleep but lately I've been waking up earlier for dusting...

Are waxworms a good feeder to invest into breeding? I saw this post online and seems very straight forward approach and doable. Other than the nasty scent mentioned of of course. It was also mentioned that waxworms are filled with fat and can be harmful for your chams when they have too much...

Ive know about those calcium substrate mainly used for geckos for a while now and it just occurred to me that since they are "edible" is it possible to use them when youre mixing up your feeder substrate? Wont that increase the calcium content of your feeder insects? Price wise they seem to be...

I was thinking of breeding some additional source of feeders for my chams but I came to a conclusion that in order for me to distribute my time in a more realistic fashion I should focus on a few feeders for now. I currently have a dubia colony they are really easy to breed! Im planning on...

This might seem crazy probably a bad idea but whats your thoughts on lady bugs as feeders. They are incredibly cheap online and the bright colors will attract any chameleons attention plus the flight and fast movement seem like a perfect fit for a picky cham. I tried looking it up on search...

I recently ordered this from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LTFMAY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Mantis egg cases with decent reviews I thought it would be a good deal? Now I'm second guessing myself. First, housing these bugs needs to be housed separately or the...

Im planning to revamp my enclosure for my male cham. Im moving him to a new 24x48 enclosure / free range. He looks so sad in his cage and each time I take him out and leave him chilling on my potted plants he lights up with light green and all his calm colors. I sometimes see him scratching and...
