just an FYI.. soaking a "clogged" sprayer nozzle in plain household vinegar over night cleans them very well... ive been able to use the same nozzles for over 2 years... once they start spraying "funny" I just take those off and let them soak, rinse them in worm water, let dry, replace and...

I as well would be more than willing to pay for some.. just let me know what the cost would be to ship to 73110 (OKC, OK)...

your temps should not change that much in the screen enclosure.. if it does you can just up the watts a little in your lamp to maintain the temps you want.. the humidity can be maintained easily with live plants in the enclosure.. and/or up your misting times to say 3-4 a day... and you are...

to be honest.. I don't remember how long it was but it was long enough that for mealworms I would have had hundreds of babies by then... I'm guessing 3-4 months.. maybe I didn't wait long enough...??

used screen all around except for the top... I used 1/4 weld wire for the top to hopefully not block as much light and UVB but turned out to be kind of a mistake... even with the small 1/4" holes the crickets can get through it... so I would recommend screen if you don't want your crickets to...

not that im even close here but I noticed in the pics he is in a Plexiglas enclosure with thin slits on the side for air flow... do we know what the temp is inside the enclosure?? if its getting too hot for him he may be staying "white" to reflect off a lot of the heat if its getting too hot...

chameleons are very prone to respiratory issues and do require better air movement than most reptiles, hence the screen enclosure being mostly what you find.. most of the nail issues I have encountered only seem to be when they are young and the nails are still small and softer than the screen...

I agree with the stress issue with her right by the door... is there any place on the other side of the room, as far away from the door as possible, that would work just as well??

mealworms are real simple to breed and raise.. did it for years.. however the superworms for some reason need something more.. I tried to breed and raise them on several occasions.. got plenty of beetles.. usually had no less than 10-15 in to make sure plenty of both sexes.. but never got any...

if you're interested I have a couple vines and plastic pothos vines im not using.. both are 6', and also an 18" florescent fixture I can send.. I even have some medium Dubai's I can bag up for him too.. if you're needing calcium dust I can send some of that too... just shoot me an address and I...

the very first veiled I had came up with the same problem... if you haven't gotten her to a vet I highly suggest you do that... the vet gave me both drops (to put directly in her eyes 2-3 times a day) and an antibiotic (given once a day orally).. I used warm water on and around her eyes (very...

I can only offer information based on what I have experienced with mine... he is just over 6 months and his gradient temp hovers around 80-85 with his basking spot around 90-95... I've only seen and heard of them going dark like that when they are not warm enough.. I could be wrong but that's...

awesome pictures Jann.. I understand its extremely difficult to catch their tongues in mid action like that... very nice... very good looking little guys... on a separate note... any advise on how to keep the umbrella trees green like the ones in your pictures??? I've had 3 and for some...

I've built all my own enclosures and some for friends... all made of wood.. I have found there really isn't any particular type of sealer needed as long as it has plenty of time to dry and cure before introducing any animals or moisture.. Looking at the product you have listed.. there are a...

sounds as if there may be something else as an issue with her... I don't have any experience with chams breeding, but I do know that Jackson's don't lay eggs...they do live births...so im not sure if they follow the same pattern as the egg laying ones... the food issue doesn't sound right...
