I just got 100 small silks from Coastal Silkworms in Jacksonville. I ordered them a few days ago.

I might be incorrect but isn't cedar toxic to reptiles? It's a beautiful enclosure so I hate to mention it but I'm pretty sure it's toxic. I hope someone who knows more will chime in.

I filled mine with hot glue. Worked like a charm.

It's not a monarch. It's more brownish. I'm not going to feed him unless I can find out exactly what he is. We have these bright blue ones also but I know bright equals toxic or a bad taste. Thanks for trying to identify.

Does anyone know if this guy is toxic? I have a bunch of them in my yard today.

Great, wish I'd known that. Now I'm going to have 1000 silkworms for my one 9 month old Panther.

I just unpacked my silkworm eggs. Are they supposed to be kept in the refrigerator? Also the instructions say they need to be kept 78 to 82 degrees for hatching. Do you guys use incubators? How are you maintaining that temp?

If you allow him to climb out on his own on to a tree or plant he may be less defensive. He is in a cage, he can't get away so he is defending his territory.most of the time if I put my hand in for my guy to climb out he just stares at me. If I let him climb out on his own and then put my hand...

I live in Florida and I purchased discoids at the Daytona reptile show on August. I have a card in my car of the place I bought them from. I'll post it tomorrow. I brought home 60 mixed babies. They are huge now. They have not reproduced yet. Only a few have wings so far. Obviously if you...

I don't have a Jackson but my Panther darkens up when he's basking to absorb more heat. They tend to brighten up when sleeping. I don't think color changes alone are a good way to judge mood. They darken and lighten for so many different reasons. If your Cham was close to black all the time then...

I'm so glad to hear he's doing better. Kudos to you for not just returning him. He can still have a full and happy life with the correct care you are now able to give. A new Petco was just built near me. I couldn't help myself, I had to check if they brought in chameleons. They did. They have...

You know I posted that comment without reading the whole thread. I only saw the first picture. My mistake sorry.

This is beautiful! I just have one other comment, I'd slid it a little bit farther from the curtain or the plant on the windowsill. Otherwise he will be roaming. This is one of the nicest screen-less setups I've ever seen.

Ok, will do. I took out the vine he took a bite out of because I didn't want him to keep nibbling on that spot. I left the other vine in. I've been checking on him a lot today and he seems to have left it alone. I'll watch for him to poo. I just got some hornworms fo that will keep things...

I walked into the room my Cham is in and he was eating the bendy vine! He was chewing and quickly swalloed the Leicester before I could open the enclosure. He's 8 months and I've never seen him eat plants. I usually give him a two silkworms around 8am but I ran out yesterday. I was running late...
