I have seen them eat Repashy Bug Burger in a pinch, but I think they are pretty particular otherwise. You can get dry or cooked hornworm chow online to have around for next time you order. I ordered some today, too, actually.

My plan is to find a different plant that takes up less room for the 18x18x36 reptibreeze. Even if its some fake plants I have for now. I found this video on hand feeding. Looks doable if needed:

How did I come to be hatching hawk moths in my kitchen? It wasn't intentional, really; I had too many hornworms and decided to do an experiment. So I did some research and winged some parts... Here's what I did: I think I was inspired by having them NOT fly all over or throw dirt or spray...

Thank you for the vote of encouragement! I had in my head the width of their mouth, but wanted to see what people around here thought before I dove in. :)

First time hawk moth mom tonight. ☺ Attached pic of first moth hatched. 7 more could come now anytime. Also attached bonus pic of Khalid sleeping a couple nights ago. (The flash was an accident) These moths are the size of my finger. Khalid should be 1 year old in mid May. He is a male veiled...

I am quarantining its replacement now lol. It did better in the 16x16x30 cage. Not so well in 24x24x48 Hoping it would do better in bioactive... maybe I'll have to find another tree-like plant. Does ficus do better?

Get within 10 inches of the plant's soil. It smelled like ammonia as you said, I think. Strong, stinging, like cat urine.

This. For my drainage, I used a drill bit about the size of a dime attached to a power drill to make the hole in the PVC bottom of my standard reptibreeze. My cage sits on a wire rack that water can pass through. There are just simple buckets underneath to catch the falling water. Because I...

W O W You *have time* to *write* this?? All hail. The layout and just everything... it's beyond goals. THANK YOU

I recommend the trellis on the sides. Save their little toenails!

I'm in the same boat!!! :D I've watched a lot of YouTube videos, but find myself wanting to understand the science more. Wondering if there are good books. I haven't found a complete front to back guide for chameleons, with what lights and misters etc. Been trying to piece together as I learn.

Hello I've kept some phoenix/calci worms until they've turned into Black Soldier Flies (on accident) and now I am endeavoring to keep hormworms to hawk moths. My question is, how do you catch and feed flying insects to your chameleon? How do you transfer them from their cage (I plan on rearing...

Ah I see. The good news is the only reason I switched was for more capacity and options. But the reptirain did it's job well otherwise and has an awesome upgrade from hand misting :)

Yes. Reverse Osmosis water. I had a repti rain, but returned it for the cheapest mistking set. Have you looked at those? You don't have to refill them every day is why I switched. I got my mistking for $30 or $40 more than the reptirain so it was totally worth it for me.

Hi @TonyaAdams I didn't really have any pix of my own chameleon at the time, and besides, I think the picture is cool. Their skeletons are cool! I'd have thought their veil was cartalidge, but I read somewhere that they may actually use that bone to 'hear' deep sound vibrations, kinda like an...

Hey all. Khalid is growing up and still eats all he wants. At what point should I curb his eating? How many cricket size portions should he get at about 8 months old? Also he told me he wanted strangers on the internet to call him handsome so he had me take these fresh pix to show off his good...

I'm not the OP but I have a similar situation happening. Mine is about 5 months and displays the same color patterns mentioned and pictured by OP. I also can see my temps are correct but wonder as a new keeper if he is wanting more heat. I haven't read before that it is a stage they go through...

I am finally having good luck with a 150w Ceramic Heat Emitter with a Flukers 10" lamp that will specifically support CHEs up to 250w in case. I hooked this lamp up to an Inkbird on/off thermostat and set a day and night temperature. The result is it goes on and off during the day to keep his...

Thanks for checking out my form! The 150W has achieved the right temps. I hooked it up to an on/off ink bird thermostat, too. So the temps haven't been worrying me lately. I use a t5ho 5.0uvb tube bulb as well. I'll incorporate more branches under the bulbs in the big cage he's moving to...
