Ive been scoping around some butterfly websites and was wondering if anyone has any good information on which species could be used as a feeder. ( i know some are toxic) I free range my single chameleon in a small room and would like to breed butterflies in there as well to add to the jungle...

What a drag....and to think of all the convincing i've had to do with my wife about these roaches and how they cant escape or survive if they somehow miraculously did. Ill be keeping your story very tightlipped. You may need to get the roach motels from the US or maybe back east,Ive heard...

Thanks Dave, heres a link to part of my room. https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/themonsheshe-albums-mr-licky-picture1237-part-free-range-room.jpg It started out harmless enough with just the cage screened in, your more typical setup, but I got carried away and built up the area...

thanks for the link, very informative. I actually have all three types of lamps in my room, my chameleon spends time near all three, and i dont own a meter to check the levels. i have a couple questions... 1) does a mercury vapor and compact flourescents have the same lifespan as a tube? I...

I bought a pothos months ago in a pot with a stump embedded in it and has the pothos stapled to it so it grew up along it. So far this is the best plant Ive had for growth and it keeps on reaching out, in my free range room. Its starting to look like a greek restaurant in there.....OPA!

Sandra, I think I bought my cham from you last summer....I looked at your profile and was wondering which ones of those pics were the parents. I was actually going to message you soon about my dubia colony, I think it may be getting too large for one chameleon to handle.....of course if ive got...

I actually went to various different sites, and see that many specialty hibiscus growers make their own fertilizer. this one goes against what you mentioned as far as feeding http://www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/care/feeding.htm its the potassium they need not phosphorous which is the third...

I live in vancouver bc, so I doubt there is a huge difference in our climates. I've found that a hibiscus is a particularly tricky plant to keep. I paid a fair bit for mine from a fancy garden center and the plant was fully bloomed, but within a week they had fallen and I took the plant back to...

Hey there, Not exactly what you mean by HOT and cold but if you are looking to run a mister off your house water supply misting is easy since the pressure in your house usually around 60 psi is enough to get a good mist. you can head down to your local garden center and buy a misting nozzle...

My single panther chameleon free ranges in a small room approx 6ft x 4ft and 8 ft high. He goes everywhere in the room and knows where to go to get specific foods. Im sure you could get a bigger setup but maintaing your light levels might get tricky. Inside the room I have his original cage with...

You know Ive been looking at these atomizing humidifiers lately and wondered if they could help combine both humidity and misting better. http://www.smarthome.com/3281TH.html even tho they are supposed to be used in a forced air heat vent Ive read some that just release into a specific...

Dang, i have a hard enough time keeping them all alive in my little cricket bucket...:confused:

I noticed after looking they have a steam clean model with a different head on it. Mine is a garment steamer similar to the one in the link but an older version that Ive had for going on 10 years. they are a couple hundred bucks. It only takes a minute to get going and can run for well over an...

Yes definatly great topic, Ive owned a quite a few reptiles and was always under the impression that salmonella was where the concern lies. Depending on who you talk to ( i talked to some vets) some told me Ive got as much chance of coming in contact with it handling money, as handling my...

I know Ive seen my cham crouch down cautiously, and could tell he was looking at something out the window, I too looked out in the window in the same direction and noticed there was a plane flying by.
