So one of my malthes laid eggs yesterday and left them uncovered (she did move a leaf hanging over her lay bin so that it covered the clutch) she was still lumpy last night but I haven’t seen her today). My smaller malthe also laid eggs (that are not viable-picture below) she sprinkled them...

Thank you for directing me to Todd, he was able to offer a solution to my cord clutter.

So I jumped off the deep end and now have seven chameleons (3) Malthe and (4) Panthers. I’m looking for heat lamps that can be daisy chained currently there just too many plug- ins. My UVB lights and plant LEDs are all daisy chained to two different timed outlets (Malthes on one side...

Mr Blue’s still kicking! Still asleep most of the time but walking around with his eyes open more. (Initially his eyes were closed 99% of the time; now it’s about 60-70%). Because he’s opening his eyes and more reactive to seeing me, I’m hoping he will start hunting soon. He seems to hangout...

Look at the eyes

Update: I couldn’t bring myself to bother him twice a day so he’s being fed and medicated once per day I also didn’t want to stress him further so he is still in the dining room being hand misted. He has opened both eyes independently but typically has stayed with his eyes closed. He’s been...

He and my girl are in my dining room which is pretty open to the kitchen and living room and so there is light in off hours, I’ve been covering them with robes but a room all their own where the lights are all timed and there’s less traffic and less moving of bugs.

I just got my order of 500 lesser meal worms and 500 buffalo beetles, not only was the delivery prompt the seller was excellent at communicating and included multiple freebies of Dubias and baby mealworms by far the best price I found and with the freebies!

This feels like it could be hit or miss. After the brief period of him walking around with his eyes open he quickly shut down after I forced his meds and food. For a brief period he was somewhat blanched so I turned of his heat bulb for the remainder of the day. He is now very dark in color...

I want to give a very warm thank you to Hive Queen Insects, I placed my order last night for Buffalo Beetle/lesser mealworms (they had the best price) and this morning I received multiple texts regarding the makeup of beetles to larvae I wanted. I’m very impressed with the personal service.

I’m so relieved, I feel bad blinding him with the eye ointment (which actually is prescribed twice a day for 30 days) 🤦‍♀️ but it’s working! I’m so happy he opened his eye freely. Since I have to mess with him twice a day I’ve decided to feed 0.75ml-1ml each time he gets his eye drops. He...

He opened his eye and is looking for water!!!!

Okay so “lesser mealworms/buffalo beetles” apparently make good cleanup crews in roach enclosures and they reproduce in the substrate so I ordered a large mix and will just put them in my other bug breeder boxes that use bran as substrate.
