...He could eat hornworms, silkworms, and superworms no problem. You can get smaller hornworms and silkworms too, then once they grow too big to feed let them cocoon, then feed him the moths for enrichment. He's a growing boy and variety will be great for him! Remember treats in moderation tho.

I will transfer them with care when i receive the verm. Thank you for answering my questions. Really appreciate you and all the help ive seen you provide to other keepers. Great Wealth of information on this site.

I believe I have already responded to you but here is an update! I did get both wax worms and bsfl! since he is so tiny I have to cut them in half to make sure he doesnt choke! I have also found that when they are cut the open side will "stick" to his mouth and when he wants to he will lick it...

...he wanted to go/get to, studying how he was going to get there, and then executing his "climb-plan". I had inadvertently discovered that (re)moving a few branches can provide enrichment. He can get anywhere in his enclosure that he wants to, but some destinations are more challenging than...

I’m picking up crickets today and I’ll later pickup mealworms and hornworms when a breeder friend gets them :D so for gutloading just put fresh fruits and vegetables in the Cricket jar? Also my yard is treated or else I’d get bugs from there. Is getting cicadas and stuff from the woods an option...

Any updates??! I’d love to see a prototype or even a drawing of what you’ve worked out!

Yea I love how you think outside the box and for the second paragraph I like to do the same with Yoshi

Nice! I have a fiddle leaf fig for Yoshi to climb it’s nine feet tall and he loves it

...it's about quality. A cham might only need one big bushy plant to satisfy all its needs. Still, a variety looks nice, and can provide some enrichment. :) I admit, at first I got caught up in the whole... "How many different species of plants can I cram into that enclosure?" thang, but... I'm...

...layer of leaf litter for your clean up crew to hide under. My chams have treated their isopods as an all you can eat buffet. It is nice enrichment for them, but the cuc is there to do a job, not be snacks. Placement - close to living room and stairs. Back facing the wall, one side painted to...

...all the branches) I've had opportunity to watch (study) the effect on Mr. Grumpypants. With fewer branches, I watch him look around and figure out how to get from where he is to where he wants to go, and I think it stimulates him to figure out these little problems and solve them. Enrichment.

Oh ya! I know what i'll be using to train them to run the 50 yard dash! Never knew they could move so fast !

...supplements, and environment and are avoiding feeding hornworms until he’s a bit bigger or feeding anything on the plastic branches of his enrichment tree. We also had some BSFL hatch recently and released them in his enclosure, so he’s been doing a bit of hunting. He usually has to get...

...I'm using dubias, crickets, and giant mealworms as his main staples, with some of the other worms/larvae for variety. For a little enrichment, I rearrange a few things in the enclosure (relocate his highways), move his feeder cups (he knows where the food is), and twice a week he gets to run...

Yup, that’s what I do

...Also, on the sheet I gave it lists BSFL larvae as a staple. Personally I never feed the larva form as sometimes they can come out whole/even still alive in their poop which is unnerving to say the least. My boy loves the catch the flies though. Flies in general are more of an enrichment thing.

Thank you I have a panther five months old , yeah one of my biggest concerns is a power outage , I picked up a temperature laser today , quite surprising with the actual readings are in certain parts of the tank , just outside the basking area it drops to 71 under the bulb at his basking site...

...do lose some nutritional value. I could be wrong...honestly no idea. I feed the larva to my geckos and occasionally as ‘croutons’ in my beardie‘s salad. Primarily though, I use the pupated flies as treats for my chameleons. They love their flying treats and I think it provides enrichment to them.

I stopped offering snails. I've heard a 2nd hand story of snail "snot" causing problems, but that wasn't the primary reason I stopped offering them. Some of my chams liked them, some didn't... but none of them ate them predictably. I would inevitably end up with a snail loose in the enclosure...
