@snitz427 that is quite the operation. Why are your bsfl failing? I keep mine in quart size containers with about 1/3 dirt/leaves from my mulch pile and throw in random fruit/veggies every now and then and they seem to just keep producing more worms and hatching more flies. My chams love chasing...
I have herons by me. Known to stalk koi ponds around here. Osprey that you see carrying around flounder and other large fish. Def need a screen enclosure. Chicken wire seems like a good option.
And my chams do the same. Stopped eating crickets. Moved to supers. Stopped eating supers moved to dubias. Key is definitely variety, wish i would have taken it more seriously from the get go. My plan is basically to have my chams outside for the summer and im hoping that will be some sort of a...
Good info but id really like to see some pics of what bins/ tuperware everyones using. Lighting? Temp control? Watering? How do you keep your bugs healthy, live, easily accessible and contained?
Keeping feeder insects is more difficult than keeping chams themselves imo. Curious how you guys who own more than one cham/multiple pets have your feeders set up. Whether you buy insects and gutload or actually farm insects, id like to see what you have done to make life easier and make the...
Just got our male ambanja in from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla . First want to say thank you to matt and his wife for getting this guy out to me on time for a surprise birthday gift for my girlfriend. What a great operation they have going. He showed up looking super healthy.
Owning tjjs and hoeneli...
I seen you asking about Metal Halide bulbs before. A MH bulb needs a ballast to power. Normally magnetic or electronic. MH bulbs come in 2 types. Single end or double end. A SE bulb normally has a UV coating over the bulb itself as to only emit a certain percentage of UV rays. A DE bulb you...
I dont breed them but i had stayed away from them up until about a month ago. My chams seem to love them and i hate crickets so its a win win. Theyre not bad to handle and as said above, they're not like the pest species most ppl picture when you hear roach.
My full name is constantine so teen has been my nickname since i was young. Sorry if that threw you for a loop. Chevy runs like a top but either way yea im a driveway mechanic on top of all the other stuff i take care of. Im a man in every sense of the word. Hope you find your animal a real home.
Im 31 years old. I drive a chevy suburban and own my own home. Complete with reptile room. I also have 3 kids. I wouldnt have offered if i was at my limit. No offense taken but seriously it sounds a little hypocritical of you to judge me when youre the one complaining about spending a few hours...
And to add my male jackson has very similar feeding habits. The only thing he hunts down are black soldier flys and horn worms. Everything else i have to do the same as you where i hold it or reposition it 5 times before its suitable for him to eat. Sometimes hes quick. Sometimes it takes a...
Ill take him. I can pick up this weekend. Panther is next on my list. Ive only been keeping chams for 6 months but ive kept reptiles ever since i was young. I currently house a pair of T. Hoeneli and pair of T. Jacksoni . I also keep a reef aquarium, dart frogs, snakes and a tortoise. He will...
Thanks for all the happy bdays.
I like that idea of fruit on the ends of the sticks. Sounds like it will def do the trick. I was just looking to order some rice flour beetles so ill hold off another week or so and then go for them. Thank you
so I can't claim successfully breeding because i had originally thought my females were gravid when i picked them out. turns out i was right. i got my female Hoeneli back in february. she looked large. she dropped 7 babies on march 26th (day before my birthday).
as if that wasnt enough...
