I can add one for the DMV area (MD/DC/VA). I used to go to Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services and liked them very much, in Fairfax VA.

I let them turn into moths! It’s fun to watch them and the moths are nutritious and imo the bodies are a little smaller than the grubs, but obviously the wings are there so they’re still a pretty big bug.

I use a bulb with a dimmer, that way you can adjust it if it gets too hot. I got mine from Amazon, it looks like a light fixture with a little knob on the wire. I also recommend an IR temperature gun to monitor the temps, they’re pretty cheap.

Very important mention—- you NEED a thermostat to monitor any kind of heating element that makes contact with your gecko (eg. heated rock, heat mat) because they will cause burns. They can be dangerous if not monitored.

I order mine from Chewy.

Mine tends to do these impossibly large “yawns” when he’s about to shed and it freaks me out every time. It looks his jaw will unhinge or get stuck, haha.

You lookin’ at me?? Single eye shed?? T-pose

Additionally regarding the dripper- Neptune demonstrated a method of poking a pinprick hole in the bottom of a washed out gallon milk jug or equivalent, it gives a steady drip without paying for the big dripper from the store.

I did the same thing! I moved away from the Reddit forum for pets because people are so negative, there is a huge “vent-hole” moderator who yells at people and drives them away. And the water cups never worked for me, my chameleon was dehydrated. OP, there is a great podcast by Chameleon...

This is very interesting!! I wonder if our friends taste things the same as humans.

Interesting! I knew most of these were options but I’ve never thought about feeding snails! Haha. Wonder how that shell would come out.

Hahaha. I wonder what type of chameleons they were… maybe they’re exaggerating on the color changes to match the different luggage colors…

Thanks! I’ll try this method.

Thanks. Glad to know it’s not just my bugs!

What’s the difference between a household humidifier and a reptile fogger? I’d like to try fogging but reptile foggers are expensive and I already have a small humidifier at my home I can put on a timer next to his cage. Any information appreciated.

Try as I might to gutload feeders on greens high in Calcium, I have had zero success. I have Dubias, BSFL, mealworms. They will eat pretty much all other gut loads but leafy greens. I will leave the bugs in the gut-load container with only the greens for about 24 hours but there are no...

I like putting plants in mini-buckets and using clamp-hooks to hang on the sides of the cage. I also use a larger plastic pot zip-type technique which doesn’t work quite as well and is harder to clean.

Did the vet give you a discharge note? That would be helpful. Make sure to block out any personal info before sharing. Also where in the world are you located?
