Thank you!!! That answered most of my questions! I have a couple more if you don’t mind.😅 My silkmoths were stuck together and i had to physically pull them apart. They were attached for about 4 hours until i stepped in. The female was like clawing at the male. Is that normal? Also, she laid a...

my silkmoths recently mated and now I am approached with the question, how do you incubate silkworm eggs? Do they require a diapause? How do I know if the eggs are infertile? Help please! 🙂

They said he weighed 13 grams

Thank you all for your sympathy! I should have left when she said that the YEMEN chameleon was from madagascar… 😒

Ok so this afternoon I brought my cham to the vet for the very first time and he did not like it at all. He started his shed today, much to my dismay of course. But i scheduled this before so i didn’t have to wait another month. The vet had good reviews and was connected to another exotic vet...

Can you fill this out so we can evaluate accurately? Can you add some pictures of her? Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Feeding - What are you feeding your cham...

I have no idea what that could be so i’ll leave that to the experts, but i hope he gets better! For anyone to answer you, can you fill this sheet out and someone can review it for you? And if I were you, i’d bring him to a vet asap! Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of...

Ok, I will look into that type of thermometer. My grow light has little benefit when on other than ambient light so taking it down would not be a problem. I am using the Reptisun T5 5.0 and I will be adjusting that to run in the middle. Thank you

The grow light looks purple in photo, is that considered a color light even when it looks white whithout the photo? I use the thermometer for basking (Mostly for humidity) I occasionally use a temp gun about once a week for more accurate temperature. His eyes are only sunken when his mouth is...

Ok, thanks for the certainty. my humidity is really hard to lower and I really don’t know how to lower it. I don’t mist or fog during the day and if i allow air conditioning it gets way too cold. I still worry about the eyes because he didn’t do that last shed. He was irritated and very grumpy...

Omg there is a lot! I will try to cover it all at once… His ambient is 75 during the day and falls to 72 at night. Basking area is 78.5. Ok so I was worried about that too but since this is my first chameleon I didn’t really know what that looked like on a chameleon besides an extreme case...

Is this a respiratory infection? I came home today to this a couple days ago and I am extremely worried. I listened to podcasts and read multiple forum posts but nothing matches. Is it a vet visit? I have all info and I will gladly appreciate any advice even if not certain. thank you

Can cricket score use/hide in anything other than egg crates? I have more but they keep littering all over them and I fear that I may run out sooner or later. I saw in the reviews for that product that someone used toilet paper rolls, is that effective in any way. Thanks for your help...

Sorry for the wait, I changed the ventilation in the cricket bin but I don’t know if it’s enough. Now it is a small screen covered hole...

That's probably it. I have a lid with small holes, but I doubt that's enough. I try to keep them minimalistic I have two bins that I interchange them between when I clean. (Thats when they usually die) I use mustard greens and alfalfa and bee pollen (sometimes apples and collard greens) I...
