The light that’s showing up purple is the Arcadia heat lamp yea it’s not purple but the picture makes it look like that. I do have a white light for him it’s the linear bulb. I had a jungle in the middle. But they died I think from probably crickets eating at them. And of course with plants...

Just finish new home for lizzy!!! Lots of plants, correct light now, driping misting and fog!! Also giving her plent of options in terms of food.. She get tired of crickets. Nos she is feeding on morio and silky. Eventually some waxworms and calci... What is you take on freerange the...

Hey yall. Alright, it’s time for me to take my feeder care to the next level. In all my years, I’ve generally only fed crickets (purchases, never bred my own nor do I plan to now), I’ve had successful Dubia colonies, which in the past I used heating pads but with all the regulator controls now...

Maybe double check the temperature. Also if one cricket dies it can deplete your entire colony it has a domino effect, they release ammonia gas that kills the other crickets that walk past the carcass. Also daily sanitation and you must use egg carton or something similar if they walk over their...

I’ll have my replies in bold. I also will break this into two parts. Chameleon Info: Name is Lumi Your Chameleon - Lumi is a suspected female, most likely about 1.5 year old. She has been in my care since January of 2025 (we estimated she was a couple months old when I got her). Some pics...

I'm going to be gone a vacation for 10 days. My enclosure if fully automated except for food. My temporary solution is to let a bunch of crickets loose in my chameleon's enclosure. But I've never done crickets. My guy usually eats dubia's and some BSF's but since they don't move much, he often...

I have removed all of the mulch and soil from his enclosure. I don’t know what to do about the substrate he has already consumed. He does not seem to be in pain or unwell.

Hey guys, I have an issue, my silkworms I ordered won’t arrived until after I’ve moved and I won’t get them until later this week. I have two surviving silks from the last batch and that’s all Nachito wants to eat right now, as she’s not interest in roaches (they all died too rip) I’ve searched...

Thank you for your response and plentiful information/knowledge! I will send photos and upload a review for chami as well. Answering questions: 1. Yes, I will upload tons of photos when I get my new phone. 2. They will be in a dark room around light cutoff time, not currently as we aren’t on...

I'm not good at cricket keeping. 1/2 of them die and there is too much cleaning involved.

Pinhead crickets are the size and are the smallest you can get, similar in size to fruit flies. These are best for newly hatched chameleons. For a 4 month old, you probably want to get size of 1/4” or smaller. This is a great visual to help figure out what size you need...

Roaches are super easy to breed. Get more females than males. Put them in a decently sized bin with slick sides (so they can’t climb out), add ventilation screening to the bin. They do best in a bioactive set up - organic soil mix with some small isopods and springtails, leaf litter and cork...

I wonder why your crickets are dying. They're one of the easier ones to keep alive for me. I just stick them in a larger critter cage, throw in a plastic tube, and a small dish with their frozen food we make from various veges and they're good. I clean out their food tray every other day...

I’m having an issue with my crickets drowning. I have a mesh inclosure with a plastic bottom. My issue is they make their way to the bottom SO fast and die in the little puddles from misting. I’ve tried to cup feed him, but he refuses lol. I took mesh and tied it up like a net at the bottom so...

Hi there! Right now i get them from pet smart. I did get them from patsense last time bc they said they were gut fed throughout their buying and selling process but they just died after a few days even with the nice little jelly food. I did give Bubs his metronidazole today and he seems ok (i...

Possibly sick?? Advise I’m going to start with the problem. I’m leave most of the day. I leave crickets on cage and most of them I think just die in cage. I don’t know if they could be hidden anywhere. Cham been with me about 3 weeks. First 2 weeks he was hunting. Now he just tries to scape...

So yesterday I was able to get him to eat one cricket but that’s it. He keeps his eyes closed so it makes it harder for him to hunt or eat. What I do is I place him in a small bowl with two baby crickets and yesterday he caught one but today I have had no luck getting him to eat. I have to move...

The only downside is Arcadia Dragon fuel is $20.00 a bag and Repashy Bug Burger is $12.00 for the two bottles you need for the 50/50 mix. So you’re in about $35.00 with tax. I would estimate that’s enough food to feed 1,000 crickets. Crickets are 13 cents each so that’s $130.00 worth of...

I wish my guy didn't stop eating dubias... I have a self sustaining colony but he won't touch them unfortunately. Going to buy 1000 and sew how that goes. I got a 56qt container from target so we'll see.

I have a 16 gallon plastic tub, eggcrates, under tank heater, veggies, cricket crack and I clean the tub every other day and the die off is like the end of the world or zombie apocalypse.
