    What do you guys use for staples?

    Dubias would be the best alternative to crickets. I also can't stand crickets. They stink, die off quickly. Yuck. I have spend a lot of time taming our vailed and teaching him to eat prepared food, so he now gets mostly canned food as staple -- daily feeding of grass hoppers and soldier worms...

    Do chameleons like to be handled

    Do humans like being branded with a hot iron? That's basically the equivalent most of the time. I am obviously exaggerating but for a reason. If you want a reptile you can handle, go with a Bearded Dragon or something with similar disposition. Some chameleons can be tamed, some seem to "enjoy"...

    Bioactive Setup -- Mold Problem

    Thank you. The sides are mesh, so ventilation should not be a problem. There is a large drainage layer. That leaves springtails. I have seeded a large amount already. I actually have a whole bunch in the coal in a container. Will add them right away. Thanks again for the feedback!

    Bioactive Setup -- Mold Problem

    I have increased the misting schedule to dial in humidity. Now I have some mold growing on the outside of the dirt. Looks like the organic dirt part is growing some mold. Anyone had this problem and if so, what's the solution?

    White stuff in his nose.

    I agree. A vailed at that age has a ferocious appetite. He should be eating as much as he'll eat, honestly. @GeoCham made a few really good points. I also love feeding mine hornworms and feed more than recommended here. Just watch out for watery stools. Hornworms are a great way to improve...

    Lump near chams vent help appreciated

    Looks like an abscess caused by an infection. It's not a sperm plug. He needs to see a vet as soon as possible. Also, consider a new vet.

    You can also buy commercial gut load. The orange cubes are useless. Bug Burger is very good. Many others out there. https://www.amazon.com/Repashy-Bug-Burger-Insect-Food/dp/B00DLI6H6E/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bug+burtger&qid=1554865386&s=gateway&sr=8-3-spell I use a mix of fresh and commercial gut load.

    NEW SETUP, WOULD LOVE ANY ADVICE

    You'll need a drainage layer like the hydro balls you have. You could use lava rock or similar. The point is to keep the weight down. Next, you will want a layer of organic soil. Next you can opt for something like the Exo Terra Plantation Soil. It's light and will allow the soil beneath to...

    White stuff in his nose.

    If the fixture is okay and is compatible with the lamps you need, then you just need to buy a new lamp. Don't use an old one. Go to the show and you'll find great products, feeders and other things. The one I went to was very good and the prices were great.
