Haha it’s def the love of the chams. I’m fascinated by bugs but don’t really like touching them except for certain things but yeah the grasshoppers I’m using tongs same for crickets haha I don’t like jumping bugs. Or spiders but I’ll be the first to take one outside instead of killing one
ok...

And when they do jump they jump much harder and faster than crickets haha you hear it, and if one jumps on you you get a good scare tbh haha they’re very fast and powerful jumpers that’s for sure
Haha well when I dust the hoppers they def jump around. I use one of those small reptile plastic containers. I ordered 6 of them on Amazon for like $5-$10 I forget, but they have lids so it’s perfect. These are also differential grasshoppers not the ones from dean or khai and I’m not sure if...
It has screen on the sides so it’s a hybrid. I was told screen enclosures are best but also hard to keep temps up. These are just feeders not breeders btw. And no they don’t escape, they just did as I was transferring from the shipping box to the enclosure without me noticing.
Started this awhile ago but never have much time so do like 2 hours at a time when I get the chance to work on it. Built the base out of 2x3s and made cabinet doors all out of pvc board and trim. The bottom was just 1/2” pvc board screwed together with silicone on the joints then spray painted...
Got my new batch of differential grasshoppers after all 100 died last week from pesticides on the veggies I gave them. (Which 100% has to be the case since I found 3 in my house throughout the week alive and healthy that must’ve escaped when transferring them so didn’t eat or get next to the...
Awesome yeah highly recommended and just cool to see them hunt the hoppers and boy they get big! Really good staples for them. And yeah if I had that many I’d be breeding my own too. I spend enough on one Cham lmao
I was also planning on breeding but people I live with are talking me out of it. I also only have one chameleon so might be overkill having 100s or 1000s of babies lmao I asked khai to just send me feeders with the money I sent him instead for the breeders.
They will love them! My cham hasn’t been eating much since he got sick (which he’s good now just took him for a follow up) but still not eating a lot. Once I put 2 of these guys in there and they were pretty damn big he slurped them right up! I got them once before but much smaller and he loved...
Here’s some pics. I feel bad they’re all writhing around. He said even being near the food can kill them, which obviously happened here I doubt every one ate some
I received 100 differential grasshoppers today and didn’t have any organic veggies around so just tossed in some romaine lettuce, carrots, celery in there for now. Within 45 minutes every single one died. I spoke to a breeder (who frequents here) and he said that’s got to be from pesticides...
Yea I’ve read that. I have some repti suns here though just glad I read I have to change every 6 months. After I put the new one in I noticed he stayed basking under it all day long. He definitely felt the lack of some uvb
