Look at this grasshopper farm.

I only put I only put the bins when I saw them mating. Few days after mating I saw some holes on the bins, base on what I have read, some of those holes doesn’t have eggs, it is just a test holes before they lay eggs.

I do leave the bin at the bottom and poop accumulate on top. The only time I do remove them is when I have to transfer to hatching cage (that’s what I did with the first batch of bins). I haven’t smell anything specially after I sprayed water or my nose is not good at smelling foul smells (🤭).

Oh yeah that thing save me a headache. I’ve learned about that from @SauceGandhi and contacted his friend who fabricate those.

I will report back as soon as I see some babies.

I don’t do anything special, I just have a 100W heat bulb in each cage, feed them cricket crack and some greens. The one that keeps on mating and laying eggs are the first batch of hoppers I ordered from Dean weeks before I’ve got Picasso from you. I don’t even know what temp they are in. I keep...

I have four bins with eggs in a heated container and spray water every few days to make them moist. Hoping I am doing it right and have the eggs hatched.

I would go with medium, the small are very small for a growing chameleon. I usually do one order of small and one medium but feed most medium size.

You are right, aesthetically your material is much discreet and pleasing in the eyes.

Dean and Khai have different stores, so if you can’t get hoppers from Dean you can contact Khai via FB or the other way around.

Why not use real branches since you have a curtain rod holder where you can attach a branch. I am planning on doing a free range walkway for Picasso using real branches but the boss (wife) didn’t approve.

I am glad Picasso doesn’t like hornworms. It is one less worry for me. 🙂

Wow Bolt has a big appetite! Our Picasso who is only about 5 months will only eat maybe 4 or 5 grasshoppers (maybe 1.5”, medium) and 1 or 2 medium/large silkworm in a day. With dubias, he will only eat maybe 2 mediums.

In Thailand there are grasshopper farms breeding specifically for human consumptions. I haven’t tried hoppers but yes with crickets in a very small amount. 😁

What to be scared of those cute little insects? 😝

They have no shame, even when I am putting their food they do it in front of me! 🤣🤣🤣

I think it depends on the species, my adults are 2 - 3 inches.

The brand is Hydrofarm and it is in Amazon (currently unavailable). The Lumenize is the new Arcadia type of lighting that simulate the dawn and dusk sun brightness like the ones used in aquarium industry.

When I set up our enclosure I used a quad light fixture, the 2 ft length that fits exactly on top of the enclosure. After a month and a half I’ve decided to take it off and use Arcadia UV and jungle dawn. I have no problem providing light for plant and uv using the quad light, it is just too...
