the flies are easy to catch too if they escape. they are attracted to light so as long as the chameleon's lights are on when you open the door, the likelihood of them escaping into your room is slim. Turn off the lights in the room will help as well. Just make sure not to open the enclosure's...

200-300 ingredients? damn Matt you are hardcore!

ive handled crickets many times and I've never felt even a small pinch. not sure how they are expected to do harm to our chameleons

has anybody actually witnessed a cricket attacking a chameleon? I was reading another thread where this is more of a possibility that turned into rumor that grew into a fact.

I think cup feeding dubias is the only option for them. the can hide in the smallest cracks anywhere in the tank. As far as crickets free-ranging, do you put foods in there to keep them gut-loaded? I am guessing a starving cricket hiding in the enclosure for 2-4 days doesn't provide any...

How do you guys deal with live plants and feeders in enclosures? I have porthos, ficus, and umbrella plants. My crickets and dubias all seem to find really good hiding places under the pots, near the substrate, in cracks in between the plastic pot and substrate (especially dubias). I go into...

I wanted to post this as an info link for members to reference. An older link in older threads on the topic is no active. So here is the pdf link to the directions. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/kontyushigen1930/55/2/55_2_137/_pdf

In discussions with Ed at Kammer, he mentioned he has had really good results with Exo Terra Tropical 100 CFL as well as reptisun 5.0 t5 and t8s.

Just raise the 10.0 about 3 to 4 inches above the screen. No need to go buy a 5.0 if the 10.0 is still in perfect shape. Unless you have other reptiles that can benefit from 10.0, I would just raise the bulb a few inches away. 1 inch changes the intensity of the uvb a lot at around the 7 8 9 10...

Funny I just checked mine last night too and all doing well too :)

Light strip now consist of dual T5 one bulb being Reptisun 5.0 and second bulb is already plant bulb. My issue is the light reaching the lower foliage

I am seeking some advice from members who incorporate and keeping live plants alive in their enclosures. My chameleon room is in the basement that has no windows therefore no natural sunlight. I have put in a ficus in one enclosure and umbrella plants in the other two enclosures. I built these...

Hydroponic store -it is called flood table. This one is 24x24. Not cheap though. Try looking on craigslist for used ones..which is what I did. I got mine for 20 each. Bought 9 of them but really should only need 4 or 5 of them. PM me if you want me to ship one to you...but I suspect shipping...

I just started putting it together. This is what it looks like hung on the back of the enclosure. I think it will look nice as a back drop.

like james said, wine fridge 55 degrees and they will keep for 6 months +. they eat anything. I find they love white bread the most. Put white bread into margarine container with a dozen 1/2" holes drilled on the sides at ground level. They will crawl through the holes to attack the white...

I am putting together 4-5 enclosures at the moment. I bought this to put on the back wall (cut to size) Faux Ivy Privacy Fence Screen 94" X 59"/94''X39 Artificial Hedge Fencing Outdoor Privacy Fence Screen http://a.co/9Yh6ljn

Lots of options for other foods other than crickets. Roaches bsfl super worms, horn worms, bsf. I remove hind legs of my crickets so they are forced to walk around. Takes time but you get the hang of it after awhile. My cham is just starting to get the hang of cylindrical feeder cups that the...

I'm tagging along for ideas on free ranging dubias..... what does everyone else do to minimize dubias from hiding in the bottom corners of the enclosures? That's their natural instinct as nocturnal (dark environment) feeders so getting them running around during the day is difficult. Putting...

Very intriguing ....... 4 to 5% protein regardless where it's from.

I am putting up a link to a spreadsheet I created for anybody who wants to venture into making their own DIY aluminum screen enclosures. Whatever size enclosure you want to create, put in the dimensions and it will give you all the pieces of the frame you need to cut. I created this mainly...
