By 'pressure', I presume you mean stress. There is a potential for stress caused by any type of screen enclosure, due to the fact that the cham doesn't necessarily have an unobstructed view of what is going on outside the enclosure. It is possible for someone to walk up to the enclosure...

Just a precaution: Superworms are great feeders, and can even be used as staple feeders, but like any feeder, it is not wise to switch to them exclusively. They contain double the calories per gram that crickets do, and 67% of those calories come from fat. A cham fed exclusively on superworms is...

Firstly, the meal that the superworms arrive in is not a nutritious gutload. You should be feeding them much better quality food than that before feeding them off to your chams. I get rid of the 'packing' meal completely. Then as for separating them for gutloading, that generally depends on...

Nice pics - beautiful chams.

There's nothing specifically wrong with the Explorariums/Flexariums. Many keepers keep their chams successfully in them. However, the black mesh does cut out quite a lot of the UV light from the UV bulbs (I think Dave Weldon may have run some tests on this). Some people overcome this by...

Just remember that Phoenix worms have been known to pass right through the digestive system of chameleons without being digested (i.e. whole worms are passed out in the feces). In order to ensure that they are digested, some keepers prick the skin of the worms open with a pin (this has the...

They HAVE to become moths BEFORE you can breed them. Only the adults (moths) mate and produce eggs. The caterpillars are just the larvae. Read this:Silkworm life cycle

You might want to try using Bug Juice (see the recipe at the link provided). It can be fed as a liquid orally, similar to the way you'll be providing the liquid calcium supplements. Sorry to hear about your cham's ill-health. Hope he pulls through.

I just read your earlier post about wanting to get the supplements from the Livefoods.co.uk site. They don't seem to have any of the Repcal products there, but you can use these instead: - for Calcium (no D3): Miner-All O (Outdoor = no D3) - for Calcium with D3: Miner-All I (Indoor = with D3)...

Both of those links which I quoted for you in my earlier posts contain supplementing schedules. Brad's blog not only has schedules, but also hints at which brands of supplements he uses (look at the picture...) The recommended supplements are: - Repcal Calcium (no vit D3) - Repcal Phosphorous...

I don't believe you find them disgusting. I love my Dubias. Sometimes too much, and I struggle to feed them off to my chams! :) For insects, they're actually pretty cute. And they lead such social lives. If you watch your crickets it pretty much always looks like it's every man for...

No apologies necessary. As I said, I wasn't trying to moderate this thread... just pointing folks back to the original discussion as well (and btw, the article you found hadn't been added to that thread yet :))

I'm running a high pressure Shurflo 115V pump on a 100W voltage transformer with no problems. I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have the model number or specs with me, but I can tell you that from using the specs document I was able to calculate that at max PSI it was pulling about 70W...

Remember you should be supplementing with a plain calcium at most feedings (no D3), a calcium WITH D3 less often (frequency varies depending on how much unfiltered, natural sunlight your cham gets), as well as a multi-vitamin about twice a month (like the Reptivite you have). You should be...

We have a celebrity in our midst :) Nice work Kris. I really am looking forward to reading more of your publications.

No more themes Brad?

Cool. I added myself to both maps - first African on there...
