Egg Laying and the Laying Bin

If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

Individual Baby Cages or Caging during the time of Covid
My first prototype I was planning on using Exo-terra Nano glass cages for my baby cages but the supply chain issues we are all too familiar with made me get creative.

Poppi loves being in the window! (Open, 2nd story window with secure screen.) It took a few times of being there but she is finally relaxing and starting to just hang out. Once in awhile a delivery truck or something will go by and stress her out a bit but she just goes and hides behind the...

Its not that rep points actually matter that much, and its not that Im ungrateful. I mean, Im glad anytime someone finds something I've posted helpful or interesting enough to give me rep points. I like to be helpful.
But it seems odd, sad, unfortunate, even a little demotivating to receive...

Of course Prometheus was up to his old tricks and hiding behind the vine! LOL So, I waited for him to come back up and stuck my hand and the camera in with him really quick...
Poppi is gorgeous and growing like a weed. This week she even started cup-feeding! WooHoo! And, no, I didn't have to make her go hungry to get her to. Patience and perseverance finally paid off. Every day when I put food in her bowl, I hold it up to her, where she can see what goodies are...
I periodically blend up a bunch of "dry" ingredients to use as part of my cricket, roach, and superworm gutload. This is the most recent "recipe" - all measures are approximate.
4 cups (~32g) dehydrated dandelion leaves (calcium, vitamins)
3 cups(~250g) alfalfa (protein, vitamins including K)...

I have heard some stories about how attitudes change when chams go through "puberty". If Prometheus' attitude gets any worse, I am afraid he is gonna start biting himself! He is the most vicious little critter I have ever seen or heard of. I am even going to move his cage again to see if that...
I'm sorry to be the first one here to report a loss of a transvaalense :( My little girl left me on Friday.
My female was showing strange colors Thursday night as I was turning out the lights and made me worried.

I have seen some people post about the problems with ants they have been having and now that its summer it seems ants are more out and about then ever. Ants can be very deadly killing off your entire colony or even kill your Cham. The best method I have found and this works really good is to...
Well, after getting myself caught up in, and observing, a few threads that have got out of hand, I feel I need a qualification in diplomacy!

The seeds are good source of Phosphorus, Potassium and...

Poppi loves it and is right up as close to the top as she can get. Prometheus spends some time up at...
