Of course, my favorite is silkworms. Who can be afraid of the soft gentle white caterpillars that move slowly? 😊 They can be a bit difficult to keep alive, so for back up maybe have some superworms. While they are very fatty and just for treats, they do last a long time and are not terribly...

I’ve had fairly good success with keeping 300-500 crickets at a time in a plastic bin with a bio active substrate. I change out the egg cartons every week but besides that there is no cleaning and literally no smell. I couldn’t stand the smell of them before I used this method.

My panther was relocated from my son‘s dorm room where he had almost no foliage, but he actively hunted crickets and appeared to be doing well. I added a lot of foliage, but he’s not actively hunting anymore and won’t eat out of a plastic container. So, I’ve been taking crickets in and out of...

a little update!!! he climbed over from his stick (where he usually sits all day with his eyes closed) over to where his feeding box is!! abd hes eaten 6 worms and 3 crickets on his own!!

I can share the full b. thieli guide if you like, as it will cover many additional elements of husbandry applicable to ebenaui. I would suggest increasing the size of feeders though-they can easily take 1/4" crickets and this seems to work best for keeping the weight on them and maintaining a...

A photo wouldn’t show the bioactive substrate as the bin is blue and you can’t see through the sides. But yes, it’s got just a layer of the clay balls, and then some reptisoil or organic black soil mixed with a little sand and mulch. The thing with crickets is that you need to keep it very...

Meal worms are not good staple feeders at all. If you look at the graphic below, it explains that they are a poor source of nutrition. I think I can count on 2 fingers the number of times I’ve given my chameleons and bearded dragons meal worms in the past 6-7 years. You would do better with...

Do you know how to transport him so that he will be the least stressed?

Ask away!!! Here is a photo of a smaller bin that I use as well ( forgot I had it lol) this bin easily holds 100 crickets and I get very little die off! I bought dairy cow isopods from a reptile store. You can use any isopods, but best to get ones that are hardy and can live in dry areas (...

okay thank you so so much!! im sorry for asking so many questions lol, i really wanna give her the best life i can!! shes eating a tonnnn each day! around 20/30 bugs per feeding.

I do hope she will bounce back. Not going to lie-I wish I bought two. For now I think I made a better choice to just dab my feet. I’m keeping a close eye. She was doing okay. Acts like a dead leaf that slowly moves. She being wild caught. I understand now the drastic change of sense of...

If you happen to have any silver sulfadiazine, you can put a small dab on it. Plain neosporin (without pain reliever) can also be used. It should heal up fine, but do keep an eye on it just in case. When feeding crickets, unless you are certain that she has eaten every one of them and none have...

I’m not sure wild anoles recognize mealworms as a food at first. I’m not really sure what their wild diets consist of, but I’d guess it’s more like beetles, flying things, crickets, maybe ants and things that move more. Whenever I catch one that’s in poor shape from being trapped in my house, I...

I have stopped (for now) my cricket breeding attempts. For some reason, it wasn’t terribly successful for me. I think part of that is because I just had far too much going on. I have to admit that there were a few times I completely missed seeing the bin of baby crickets and so forgot to feed...

I keep my crickets in the garage. Every now and then there will be an escapee that chirps incessantly, but usually I can tune them out. It might not work, but I have found that if you put a piece of egg carton out near where the stray cricket(s) are, they sometimes will hide under it. Banded...

Do the fullthrottle keep crickets from jumping out?

He hasn't made any sounds yet today or last night. This morning he woke up and went to bask which is good because he hadn't done that. Since he hasn't gone up to the high branch to eat or anything, I moved his feeder a lil lower so at least he can see the crickets and eat- the crickets that I...

Plus BSFL are so much easier to keep!! And then when they turn into flies … he is going to love it !

I stopped misting, fog at night to keep humidity high during sleep, then I didn’t fog this morning or a full mist. Just for where he drinks. He got some silkworms this morning, and a hornworm for some extra hydration, and he’s eating some crickets now

I gutload all my feeders with carrots, cucumber, raspberries and blueberries and sometimes iceberg lettuce, my only issue with the "gutload" store bought stuff usually come with fillers that are not at all nutritional value for our chams that's my personal opinion but it can be different for others.
