Just thought I would share this info On April 1st, I put BSFL (aka phoenix worms, black soldier fly larvae, calci worms, repti worms) in my wine fridge set at 56 degrees. I have been using feeders from the cups for 6 months. As of today (6 months later), the larvae are still alive and able to...

I just store mine in a wine fridge at 56 degrees. When I want some to pupate, I usually just put a hundred or so in a separate cup. They will mature slowly at this temp so I do find pupa and adults in the cup. They have been stored 6 months this way and they are still turning into adults...

I wouldn't worry about her not eating the second worm. The other behavior may just her being a cham... they go through moods. Get that form bobbdigital linked filled out and back to us asap.

44937- I don't do crickets because they are labor intensive. I do almost nothing for my roaches but if they weren't getting eaten theirs no point. You could switch to a 10 gallon aquarium of dubias so it would be virtually no work and still keep variety. You also could switch to orange head...

Dubia, orange heads, green bananas, and vietnamese sticks. would like to do black soldier flies but cant find the info for small cultivation... As in absolute smallest cage. Im not devoting a closet to them.

They will climb it even with plenty of leaves. You could add some sticks or vines to add more spaces.

where the brown meets the white, it is often orange. Nothing to worry about. You will seldom see most chams drink and when they do, its just a drop here and a drop there.

Jacksons are livebearers. Jacksons are also a little more demanding. I love them and they are what I fell in love with 35 years ago but could never find them until the 90's. Check the care sheets but I believe they need a higher humidity and are harder to keep hydrated. Veildes and panthers...

The downside is its a little hard to keep track of his eating. I had to move the feeding cup often. The medium reptibreeze cages are pretty cheap and they can be found on craigslist sometimes. What species and gender are you getting? Wifi Webcams are pretty cool but at first they will make...

Not seeing your cham drink is normal. they only drink a few drops a day and if you are there he is either scared or waiting for you to serve him dinner. To make sure he is getting enough to drink, I recommend a dripper 2x per week set on slow so he will have a chance to drink an hour or 2 from...

Chams seem to be the only reptile that wont move a little bit if they are too hot.

When she sees you bringing the flies, she might start liking you better. Let try so.e then try hand feeding them to her. They cant bite.

Hoping to hear back from you. There are a lot of knowledgeable people willing to help but we need to know the situation. in th emean time, you can also check out the resources link to check if your temps and humidity line up. Also, some pics of the cham would help... some pics of the eyes...

You have come to the right place. First.... Mealworms are no no. Superworms (super mealworms are ok but not king mealworms). To start with i would feed crickets and superworms. We can get into more advance feedings later like tropical roaches. Did you find the caresheets...

What i would do is let them pupate. She will eat the flies. But you need to keep trying her on new things. Does she eat from you hand? If not get her to by starting with her favorite.

I just use a small calciworm cup with lid to take out 50 or so worms at a time. They pupate in there over tye course of a week or so.

T hey are excellent...however they apparently can constipate a cham if fed exclusively after about 5 days. Its best to always mix up your feeders. Either a variety each day or a few days of one then something new. I use a $60 wine fridge at 56 degrees and i have kept them alive for almost 6...

Phoenix worms, bsfl (black soldier fly larvae) all the same beast. The flies are easier to feedfeed, and chams love them.

I on the other hand have probably dropped 100 dubias over the last year. Lol. My wife is very tolerant but if she finds a bunch of little red roaches, me, the chams and the bugs would be living in the shed.

Many people complain about them infesting homes. Its what kept me from using them.
