Roaches do like a bioactive set up, and I found mine at least breed better in one. You don’t want the crickets though, so are going to have to redo it.

Yes, I have one in a 4’ long/high and 2’ deep and he runs to come out all the time just to sit on my hand and stare at me. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe try building him a free range area to offer him some stimulation and enrichment. Just be sure to supervise and keep other pets away. It can be as simple as some plants and branches in front of a window.

Wow. Odd! Are you certain they’re crickets? Regardless, go thru and remove all the roaches and put them in a clean bin without soil and new egg flats. You’ll have to look super carefully for nymphs. Toss the old soil and bin outside. If you want to keep the bin, just a good soap and water...

Next up are my sweet little leopard geckos. The handsome Handsome was too squirmy to get a decent pic of. He did graciously display that sexy chunky tail. I imagine he would drive the lady leos wild with his good looks. 💗 Who needs fancy morphs when the wild type is so stunning! My other...

Well, it’s Saturday now, but I took the pics yesterday. It’s all my critters. Chameleons first though. The always gorgeous Stella. Not even a papilloma can mar her beauty, at least in my eyes. I love love love this old lady. I’ve had to make some accommodations for her aging abilities and...

Well, usually the vet just holds the animal and looks at them. A good and experienced vet will listen with stethoscope and may gently palpate areas. They are primarily looking for signs of mbd, skin/scale health, bright eyes, alertness, muscle development, range of motion of extremities...

What is your background and walls made of? It looks like expanding foam. If it is and there’s a thick enough layer, you can cut branches to fit relatively snugly and then wrap thin wire around the ends, poking the wire ends thru the foam and tying off on the outside. If it is not a solid...

Yes…that reminds that I see a lot of target training using brightly colored balls with monitor lizards in many YouTuber videos. Monitors are said to be highly intelligent though.

Yes! Perfect! 💗 Good Lord, did he have style!

This might be the best price to be found at current. https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/habitats-and-decor/terrariums/zoo-med-reptibreeze-open-air-reptile-screen-cage-14983.html Petco doesn’t have any even in stock, much less on sale. They do however have a cute chameleon puzzle...

Yay winners! Hope all these beauties get an extra yummy or two. 🥳 🥰

One idea is keeping one chameleon in a fully bioactive set up and the other not. But, what differences would one expect to see and how would anything even be measured? Chameleons aren’t very good test subjects. Providing enrichment for them is a slightly different matter. From what I’ve seen of...

I’m curious about what type of vertebrate feeders you are thinking about using. Are you thinking like pinkie mice or feeder anoles? While tiny vertebrates likely are a part of a wild chameleon’s diet (especially the invasive veileds in Florida), I personally wouldn’t be feeding those. My...

The cricket keeper is a fantastic little bug bin, but not so much for crickets. Get a bin like this and add ventilation areas at the red, to give chimney effect ventilation. I believe that is a 19 quart bin, which would be a decent enough size for a couple hundred crickets (using egg flats for...

The basic XL ReptiBreezes on sale are usually around $80 or so on line (or were a couple of years ago - with all this tariff BS, who knows now). Keep watch on Petco, Petsmart and other sites for sales on them. Often there’s added discount codes. While the winter holidays are the best times for...

I’ve just joined two XL screen enclosures together. I used what I could find without much fuss - thin wires and tiny hinges. If you go this route, find and use flat headed screws where the sides will be butted up against each other to avoid any gaps. If you can’t find any, you’ll have to sink...

Interesting topic. My two veiled girls were about a month apart in laying, but my efforts to reduce their egg production were very effective, so they only did this twice before one stopped all laying. The other laid only 1-2 more times (can’t recall and too lazy to look it up) once per year but...

Hey there! Nice to see you and your beautiful chamily. They all look fantastic and it’s so good to her that all are doing so well. I was thinking about you and yours not that long ago and wondering how you were. 🥰 💗

I know you just finished setting it up, but…. Adding a way to attach more branches and ones of varied diameters would be beneficial. If you have someone to help, things could be much easier and faster. One way is to build a type of scaffolding out of sturdier branches, attaching them to the...
