My cham is CB, his mom is CB too although his pop is WC.

Interesting. I guess I can't rule out parasites, but his digestive system seems to be working alright. I still see him pooping (tiny amounts), and the fact that he ate 2 katydids during his hunger strike makes me think that he is just going through an extremely picky phase. He totally ignored...

Not WC, CB no doubt. For about a month before his hunger strike started he was on a diet of almost exclusively superworms - couldn't get anything else at the time and obviously not an ideal diet in the long run. But I don't think his problem was superworm addiction, since now he won't even eat...

I have an adult Furcifer verrucosus, Gus, a year and two months old. Up until recently, his diet had been four superworms every other day (or an equivalent amount of black soldier fly larvae or dubias). But about a month and a half ago, his appetite nearly disappeared, and he left all or nearly...

I have a 15-Watt Repti-Glo 10.0 fluorescent lamp about 2cm above the enclosure. My new 10-week-old F. verrucosus spends a lot of time on the ceiling right under that bulb - is that a problem? I've heard that UVB bulbs like this aren't intense enough to burn a chameleon, but I'd rather not chance...

Nice, I will definitely order them. What kind of chow, though?

Looks like a great resource. How long do you think these things live?

What's a good starter size for a colony? Size of container isn't really an issue, I have a big plastic bin that I will be using.

What do you mean by make one side hinged down the middle? Also, I don't think PetCo sells roaches. Where do you various forum users buy them?

Eh, I will have a male roommate so it will probably go over fairly well. How ventilated should I make my colony? I have some mesh, so if need be I could cut a rectangle out of the top of my little bin and staple the mesh to it.

Thanks, guys, this is all great info. How many roaches do you generally give at an every-other-day feeding?

Is that what you use?

I do know that females can become gravid with infertile clutches. My veiled is about 7.5 months old now, what sort of feeding schedule should I give her? Currently I feed her 6 adult crickets every day, with the occasional waxworm treat. Also, LIzards, how do you keep your bin heated? Do you use...

Heh, thanks, guess if I got dubias I could put a blanket over them or something. How many dubias should I feed an adult female veiled chameleon every day? And for that matter, under what conditions will dubias lay eggs?

So I'm moving off to college next year, and I'll be bringing my female veiled chameleon. The trick here will be finding a roommate who won't mind sharing the room with a chameleon. I figure it won't be too much of a hassle, but chirping crickets might be a deal-breaker. What I'm wondering is, is...
