about 3/4's of an in of my veiled's tail looked burned and fell off. Now another 3/4's of an inch is black and looks burned again? However, I don't think it's getting burned, I think it's a disease... Thoughts?

So I have 22 silkworms that are getting big, and I would like to hopefully get some eggs, but I have a quick question. When they start cocooning, and once they are in their cocoons, and once they are moths, do they need to stay at the same temperature they were at when they were worms?

dust silkworms and dubias?

never thought about having the hibiscus not in the cage....:o So if I was to get one, how do you go about teaching the cham that they are supposed to eat the leaves?

Is it weird that I'm so excited? I ordered from www.theroachranch.com the owner, Ian, is a really nice guy, quick replies to any email question, very helpful. I got about 150 mixed, very well packaged and I didn't see even one dead one. Shipped fast. I thought I would be creeped out...

From reading on here, I have learned that their poop should be white if they are well hydrated. I was wondering though, because mine (the chams, really) is always like white falling out of a black outer "tube" Maybe some of the more experienced keepers could post pictures of all types of...

Yeah, I forgot, 2 females about 4 - 5 months old. Yours is sooooo cute!

Posted this in the general forum before seeing this thread...

Looks like she's got her color back, she's drinking water and eating crickets, so it's looking good. Just weird that she turned gray for a few days....

So I have 2, 4 month old female veileds, and they eat crickets like crazy, but I thought I'd try superworms. I put 4 in the cage thinking they'd each eat 2. But I only saw one of my chams eat one worm. anyway, after a while I looked in the cage and didn't see any more worms, but since I put...
