    How to feed off green and blue bottle fly spikes?

    I prefer to feed off blue bottle flies as actual flies. I wait for them to hatch and then let my chams go crazy. I think of them as a good way to provide enrichment for my chams. I follow the same process for blue bottle flies as I do for black solider flies:

    new cage

    They're all different, but typically 0-4 days (bell curve). Rarely up to a week. Whenever I make modifications on mine's enclosure (cycling plants in & out, major cleaning, rearranging lights) there hasn't been any at all. In fact it was more like enrichment; he gets to explore all over again!

    Brain Knowledge

    IMHO university is a place to learn but it's also a place to grow. What do you think it's for? Did you do enrichment programs?

    Breeder Care vs Keeper Care: Is there a difference?

    ...good at creating micro environments that chameleons would grow and mate. At least physically grow. And I know why I was not taking mental enrichment into consideration. It was hard to tell with a lizard that did nothing if it was content. Back then it was an accomplishment to breed multiple...

    Nile Crocodile Feeding!

    ...and today we got to feed the Nile crocodiles! They're being trained to jump up for their food but not overly enthusiastic so it's still very early, but very good enrichment for them, plus very fun for volunteers like me to try out haha! Not sure how to attach videos sadly but here's some pics :D

    Great news! I’m glad she seems to be doing better. 🥰 To add some more enrichment and get her moving, you could also try one of these...

    Anyone else’s Panther sleep like this?

    ...I noticed her doing this a month or two ago. Since then I’ve switched the layout of her enclosure and have provided a little more enrichment time when I can. She is my first ever chameleon too. Cage: 18x18x36 Humidity: 40-50 (I live in Michigan it’s very dry right now and hard to maintain...

    Aloha! New to Forum

    ...I’ve gotta buy a pot for but I’ll end up putting it in my room next to my chameleon cage and I’ll allow him to climb all over it for enrichment. I’m also working on a Chameleon Cage for Van :) I don’t know if people on here have build threads? We had build threads on the forum so I guess...

    Egg count for female ambilobe

    ...lean towards leaving them in perlite? The nutes makes me think I should switch them to the verm but I do not know if the eggs would be negatively affected"...I'd carefully move them ASAP to slightly moist vermiculite because of the enrichment of the perlite. Try not to turn them as you move them.

    Drainage Systems for Cages - get creative!

    That member hasn't been on since 2014, but you can find various kinds of light diffusers at the same home improvement chains. I use the same thing on my enclosure floor and up the walls for climbing vines & enrichment. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/cage-floor.185403/#post-1708756

    Husbandry check

    (y)They get over it quickly enough. Some sources have said rearranging an enclosure causes stress; others say it can be enrichment. IME, it's the latter; I rearrange Ol' GrumpyPants' enclosure every few months. Not a lot—change-up a plant, move some branches around, rotate a pot or two...

    This is why I can’t be left alone in a Home Depot

    Exactly my train of thought 😂

    Finished my last book, but I'm ready to make another...

    I obtained all of my leos from CraigsList and all 3 were being kept poorly, but I wasn’t sure Kirby would even survive as he was really in bad shape. Poor little guy. Tandy has a replacement tail. I had to look it up why it looked so different.

    Black Soldier Fly Nutritional value? (NOT BSFL)

    I believe that most of the calcium is in the exoskeleton bound up as chitin. Would like to know the nutritional value also. They make great enrichment though

    Missus got her tank! :)

    ...Since we knew he's need access to nibble, we put the outer pots on the enclosure floor, and 'landscaped' around them for access, enrichment (they like to slide on their plastrons), and visual barriers so the enclosure looks bigger from his perspective. If/when something happens with a plant...

    Husbandry Advice & Review

    ...to nibble their plants. It only takes one nibble to cause a very serious fecal impaction/bowel obstruction. Live plants are also a huge enrichment for chameleons and one of the few ways we can provide enrichment to them. They help maintain humidity and create pockets of increased humidity if...

    Cams who bask all day - is this normal!

    ...And whenever I do major cleaning once a week or two, I never get things put back exactly the same way they were. I see this as 'habitat enrichment'. There's (IMO) nothing quite like watching a chameleon figure out how to get where it wants to go, and then executing that path/plan. You can...

    Bioactive bearded dragon enclosure!!!!

    Idk what it is but it's warped so I might have to use something else but that's ok beacause my dad said he would pay for 80$! Yay! This is really cool beacause my parents have never given me a penny towards my animals!
