Larvae are super healthy. They are high in calcium and protein. I would assume the fly’s are equally healthy however I happen to just use my flies as an enriching hunting treat. I know there is a list floating around here somewhere with a list of what is in what bug….

BEAU-TI-FUL :love::love:

This are the last pics!

Hello Chameleon Community, I would like to share a detailed overview of my male Trioceros jacksonii bioactive enclosure in hopes of receiving constructive feedback, suggestions, and insights from experienced keepers. My goal is to ensure his habitat is optimal and to refine the setup wherever...

...or Kai Phan on Facebook are the only places to get them and you may need to wait for them. Some great healthy and fun treats/enrichment are pupated bsfl. I keep them in a loose organic soil/coco coir mix in a container with a bit of space and just feed them until I see flies. They don’t all...

...from!), they’re much cheaper, come in bigger quantities, and are healthier! Pet store crickets are more likely to carry parasites. For enrichment, you can put moth and fly pupae around the greenhouse and wait for them to pupate, chams LOVE them! Waxworm moths (just make sure they don’t...

Enrichment is a great way to bond with your chameleon and increase their quality of life.

Do you keep them on the fridge?

...available: discoid, Turkistan/red runner, ivory or orange headed, horseshoe crab, and green banana roaches (the only roach that can climb or fly in this list is the green banana)! If he’s still small enough, you can also feed bean beetles and fruit flies for extra variety and enrichment!

I use black soldier flies and blue bottle flies for enrichment. IME the blue bottle flies hatch out faster and easier than the BSF. I have only found them for sale at rainbow mealworms. But I warn you these are straight up maggots. I take some out put them in a container so they pupate then...

While @MissSkittles is going through your husbandry I wanted to offer some information on bugs. I often do not keep crickets either, I only have them right now because my Juvenile Jackson's really only eats those at the moment. Some great alternatives are BSFL (my favorite, easy to keep, cheap...

I would say that this is great then! You are doing fantastic. Some members get really in to building free range areas for their chams. Your guy seems to really enjoy it. Maybe do some searching on the forums here for other’s set up’s and see how they give their chams enrichment time.

Enrichment is a great way to bond with your chameleon and increase their quality of life. Things like free ranging your chameleon, taking them outside, and feeding them flying bugs can be enjoyable experiences for your chameleon if done correctly. What do you do to provide enrichment for your...

I order a ton every 4 months or so. Most of my bsfl Tuen into flies because I can’t feed them off fast enough but it’s a really good enrichment feeder for my chams do I don’t mind. You just need to build up on you ninja fly catching skills :)

Holy cow, your enclosure is gorgeous!!!

Love your set up! Giving me some inspiration on what to do with mine. How do you secure the tree branches in the screen? Can you walk me through that, and provide photos?

...It takes only one nibble to cause a potentially fatal bowel obstruction. Also, being able to safely nibble and enjoy live plants adds enrichment to their lives, is more aesthetically pleasing to us and will also help clean the air. You can start simple with one nice bushy pothos and take some...

...If the OP can fill it out we can review all of the husbandry in one place. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/ Also here's a picture of an enclosure for inspiration. Obviously it is for a larger cham but you can see the level of planting and enrichment for the...

...too. Just about all of my chameleons have figured out that there are isopods and they spend some time daily ‘hunting’ for them. It’s nice enrichment and a natural behavior for them. It’s nice to be able to not have to deal with moving plant pots around to clean the poos, and of course, the...

...out daily, even waits by the door for us. Nothing is wrong he just thinks he’s going on an adventure outside or to his free range. Getting enrichment. Some days (rarely) he doesn’t want to come out but we just give him his space and he’s good. I suspect it’s the human love I mean “trust” he...
