I used to always buy local and have quite a few places to choose from. But many of the crickets would die relativly soon after purchase. Worms always lasted longer but only choices are supers, mealies, and wax worms. So I did my first internet purchase of crickets, butters and pheonix worms...
Not true for the dogs and Vitamin C. They are capable of processing their own unlike us. But some breeds like the Mastiff actually require it added to their diet. Check out a bag of dog food. Many are adding it to thier food but calling it an "unneccisary" addition.
L-cystine is listed in my...
No. I used to, up until this past month, only buy from nearest store maybe 6 doz at a time. Clearly way enough room for that many. I just bought my first shipment of Butter worms and split crickets with my work pal and other herp nut from Mulberry farms. We were both having a hard time keeping...
Electrical wire. Awsome idea. I will definatly do that. What do you do with the ends of exposed wire? Could you clip the wire and stretch the covering to cover end?
Love your blog by the way. I have visited it several times.
I also raise the crix for my Beardie. Whenever I try adding fresh...
I will remove the vine. I have 2 feeder cups. I did the milk carton one with the screen run for the crickets and I have the type screameleons use that is like a deli cup opaque not clear. He lets the insects sit until they die.
The previous owner of him free ranged his crix. I started...
Looked through the posts and couldn't find an answer. Has anyone else had this with their cham?
Mine is Ambanja mix male about a year. He eats normal. I dust with Zoomed Repti calcium without D3 about 4 times per week. Use Trex (vitamin & mineral supplement) Repashy Superfoods Chameleon...
Thanks guys.
I am at work but the other cage isnt tiny. It is the larger one from Screameleons, in their cham package deal. He was living in it before I bought him so he is framilar to it. I think I can put one plant...his Hibiscus...maybe will fit but definately not the Pothos. I would have...
Got a question. Fairly new to the hobby. Have 1 11 month old panther male. I container feed but have noticed that some crickets have escaped the cup over maybe a week. My cage was a DIY inherrited by a friend and has removable side screens. The crickets hide in the seems. And last night they...
Zoo Med Dropping T12 UVB lamps
I have the opposite problem. Cant find the 24" T8's I need in my area yet. Very hard to come by. Had to use Rzilla 24" t8 5.0 Tropical UVB for my Cham. His shop light fixture is a 2 foot. On my Beardie set up I have a 4 foot shop light that runs both t12 and t8...
Panther shed question for newbie
So when you measure your basking temp. is the 89 degrees at the branch or a little higher up where cham's head and back would actually be basking?
Panther shed question for newbie
Yes I too use Repti safe for my spray bottle and for the little dripper. I use reverse osmosis for the mister. He has some shed left this morning. Some still around eyes. His basking temp at the branch level is 89 degrees with a zoo med 75 watt basking spot...
I am a new cham owner. Picked up the Panther Cham Ambanja mix 1yr. old (if guy was honest) on the classifieds here in 1st week of August.
Cham is doing great but it did do a total body shed on 8-18-09. Normal shed. Skin exploded off and finished in a couple hours.
Now starting a week ago I...
