    My supplements and trouble dusting / transferring to viv

    I also use this homemade device. It's the cardboard tube left over from a tinfoil roll, so it's smaller and less flimsy than the paper towel rolls. I isolate a cricket or two in there when there aren't many left by trapping them in the ring and burying it a little in their vermiculite substrate...

    Chameleon dosent look well please help

    Chameleons need both eyes to zero-in on feeders to eat. They are very precise about this. So if an eye is damaged, that is definitely going to affect their eating habits.

    Get Basking Temp Up

    I switched basking bulb to a larger clear 150w bulb. Now the temp probe reads 80*, the temp gun on the basking branch reads 85* and if I temp gun Khalid, he is about 94*. He is a brighter green now, looking better than the darker colors he's been the last few days when the temp was under 80*...

    What wattage do you use? Does it matter if it's a clear or white bulb?

    What age do females begin to lay eggs?

    Thanks everyone! I have gleened from other threads that the female will slow down or stop eating for a couple days when about to lay? Is that true? Does she slow down in eating, but increase in a sort of manic activity?

    Calcium and Vitamins

    Hi there, Did I understand someone correctly when they said that Repashy SuperCal LoD is all you need to dust your feeders with every day? You don't need to dust with Vitamins every 2 weeks? If you DO need to also use Vitamins, which brand do you recommend? Thanks!

    Where to put food bowl

    Hey from MN ^^ Ok, I got the infographic and have checked a couple online sites, as petco has squat, what is a good regiment? Crickets, Dubia Roaches,... superworms, wax worms sometimes, silkworms when available? Even my local grocer didn't have over half gutload options. I am trying to learn...
