The only way I found to feed them on a timer of sorts is to use black soldier fly larvae. It's not 100% but letting them pupate where the chameleon can't get the larvae but the adults can fly out.

They are used as fish bait. I tried them once with no luck.

Thanks, he's removed all day insects from his website. I saw he was getting out of the roaches. I messaged him anyway a few days ago. Still hoping to hear back.

It may have been that spectrum was closer to the sun's. I was trying to find what I read and all I found was halogen has less yellow and more white and in a different read I saw that pet shop heat lamps are color corrected to remove the yellow for some reason. Either way, it incandescent is...

Looking for bugs or ova. Preferably indians or something that will eat ivy and multiply fast.

I used mostly 75 watt incandescent if you can find them. 72 watt halogen (100 watt equivalent) work well too. I recently read that halogen bulbs have a benefit for reptiles over incandescent. I was able to get halogen at Target about a year ago. Incandescent are almost impossible to find...

Mine love hornworms the most but my wallet doesn't. We compromise on black soldier flies. I buy them as larvae (reptiworms, calciworms, phoenixworms) and let them pupate because the adults are easier to feed off... No dirt. They also seem to like the flies better than the larvae. Another...

I use roaches as my number 1 and black soldier flies (adults) as my number 2. Superworms probably are 15% of their diet. Those and crickets are the only ones i can think if that combine price, ease and nutrition to make staples.

Like said above... Different species. However king mealworms and giant mealworms are mealworms that have been given hormones . Dont use them.

If he was in good shape before, one week shouldn't hurt him. Was this a professional service?

I use the adults alot. I buy them 1000-2000 at a time. They keep for 8 months before i started noticing significant die off. Some still hatch after 8 months but not as many. I use a cheap wine fridge set at 56 degrees.

Yes. I will check on him and spray him down an extra time or two. I am an ex employee and still help out from time to time... What does he eat at home? When I stop by, I usually bring dubias or BSF for the chams.

Washington county here. Where are you? I know a pet shop that will do it in Frederick. I also would watch a cham for a week.

I feed a lot of carrots. I am not sure what is in koi food but it is designed for an omnivorous creature. I feed a little rabbit food for protein. It's alfalfa based. I also feed oranges, bananas, apple core, sweet potato and veggie scraps. Dandelion greens in the summer are a great addition.

a member here who has a gutload with like a mil!ion ingredients uses garlic. I pointed out tyat it is toxic to inverts and some vertebrates (ie dogs). She saud it wasnt enough to be a problem. I dont use it.
