So i am looking up hornworms and silk worms-- how many worms do you give a juvenile or 3 month old veiled per feeding?

So is it OK to Mist before lights come on and feed? i have to be at work at 5 am-- I can also mist when I get home around 4 and feed right before I mist this why he will have about 3-4 hours to digest and the cage to dry out. Should I continue to fog twice a day for 15 minutes to keep a...

Just remembered another issue. I leave for work at 5 am- my lights com on a 8 is-- can I mist while the cage is still dark? I also planned on feeding at five am, I will now feed at 5 am and 4 pm when I get home is that an issue? I fog to keep water droplets on the top of the cage which slowly...

Jann I just read your blog-- I did by the Dripper but am having a problem regulating the drip-- i went through a gallon in 5 hours. I am also using a coil UVB but do have a strip light with a 5.0 UVB-- would that be better than the coil? I can drop the wattage on the light to 40W and that...

I will try and find the other worms and yes I do feed him 10-12 in one shot. I will change the cricket gutload to bug burger. Here is a pic-- he is mobile and curious and does go down the braches to bask. I might change the UVB. As far a supplements I have Phos- free cal-- So I...

Hello, 3 month old Male Veiled. Appears a little thin-- slightly shows rib cage at times-- curious and searches around habitat. What can I do to fatten up== looks healthy had shed last week? Feeding 10-12 sm./med crickets a day-- eats all within an hour or so. Just introduced wax...

I have a 3 month old Veiled. He is eating well 10-12 crickets a day. Seem active and is still a little shy. Last two days I noticed him, while under the basking lamp, with his mouth wide open. when i approached he seemed to be swallowing. I mist 2-3 a day and fog in between misting for...

Hi, want to use a fogger during the day while I am a work to supplement water for drinking and to keep humidity up. Is the Repi Fogger by Zoo Med OK? thanks

So I bought my first chameleon (Jackson) and lost him in less than two months. I did not want to rush back into the same mistake so I have been keeping a zoo med reti breeze cage 18x18x36 for four weeks without any animals. I have a 40W heat bulb and 13W UVB The top ten inches of the cage...

Thanks for your input-- Like I stated in the first post-- I am in no rush -- It will be an eight week process just setting up the cage. I have yet to hear from anyone on the forum who actually recommended a breeder. I do not want to go local unless they are legit. over the past two months or...

So after some consideration I have decided to go with a Nosy Be Panther. Now I need to find a breeder. Nosy Be seems hardy compared to the Jackson from what I have been reading. Is anyone going to the Reptile Expo in NYC on July 12? Has anyone dealt with our sponsors? Is the Panther care...

I had the Chameleon for I guess about two months, come to think of it, someone local was basically giving him away and did not know the age,
