I am in the process of building an outdoor enclosure. I want to use plastic coated 1/2" wire mesh. Is there any chance of my chameleon shooting after a bug on the sceen missing and getting his tongue stuck in one of the holes in the wire?

I go in on a group order of crickets with 2 other guys who are local to save on shipping. I didn't bother to ask where they were ordering from. It turns out it was the same company that shorted a few of us in this post. Again out of the 1,000 that were supposed to be in the box there was only...

both are males, head pads look normal. The panther seems to have a much more voracious appetite than the veiled. It's gotten to the point when he sees me opening the cage he starts climbing down to the spot I dump the crickets in.

just a potato wedge in mine.

I have a 5 month old veiled who is eating about 10-13 3/4" crickets a day. I also have a 4 month old panther that is eating about 20 a day and always looking for more. This seems to be a lot to me, but the fact that they are juveniles is why I feed that much. I also occasionally feed some...

Funny I should see this post. About 2 weeks ago I received 1,000 from an online vendor and sponser of this site also. There was only about 300 in the order. I won't mention the company name although I should. But I will never order from them again, nor will I reccomend them to anyone. If they...

It would be easier for me just to keep them all together. I was told that feeding the roaches dog food is no good for your chams. I was going to keep the adult breeders in their own colony and continue to feed dog food. I can seperate and gut load the nymphs and raise them with a better diet...

Update, I added crushed dog food as a protein source and they have really started to reproduce. I am going to seperate the youner ones tomorrow and do away with their dog food and start to gut load them.

large ones are usually around 3/4"

the smalls are usually about 1/4"

Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry to hear about your dog and chameleon, talk about having a bad day! By chance is the vet that treated your chameleon in north Jersey? I am looking for reccomendations for a good vet in my area in the event of emergencies.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to thin out some males today. I am also going to try adding a protein source. Perhaps the cricket food isn't cutting it?

I have about 1 male for every 2 females.
