plus one on the calci worms (aka: black soldier fly larvae) though I read they can cause constipation if fed exclusively for days. afetr 2 days of flies or larvae, your cham should take crickets again. stick bugs are also good for an occasional feeding.

There are many foods that have some antibacterial properties. I don't know of any meat, but garlic can help humans. And it could be something like bacteria wont grow in the larvae but might be of such minute quantities that it doesn't do anything for the consumer.

Im not giving advice but I never really clean the bins. Its dry so that's not a problem. I just take out the old food peels and that's about it. I have yet to see a reason to scrub the cages. Maybe if I had higher density but everything has been going well for several years. plus, nymphs...

6 days would be a long time without water. They can take a day here and there IF they are doing well otherwise. The inexpensive misters arent very good. If there was even someone available to come in half way through to feed, spray and fill a dripper, you would probably be ok if she is...

There are wifi programmable outlets with two outlets that can be set separately for $20 or $30.

You are going to loose some. I seldom use crickets but back when i had no other choice (many years ago), I would buy 500 crickets, put them in a 10 gallon with egg crate and a small desk lamp for heat. I fed them carrots as a base. Then added veggie scraps and apple cores. If iever used water...

And the timers get cheaper too. Carrots are a great source of moisture and nutrition. I prefer them over potatoes.

I live the top to be fairly open for basking. I use live plants except for one plastic that hangs below the dripper and is next to the basking light. There is lots of coverage below the basking spot as well so they (2 different cages for 2 girls, same basic setup) can retreat if they wanted to...

First, timers are cheap. You need one for the lights. Reptiles need to be able to thermoregulate under the regular bulb . And fighting MBD is an everyday thing for cham keepers even when they dont have it. Not sure how your mister is set up. Most either have a built in timer or they are...

I would assume it would be like selling a litter of puppies. You're supposed to report the income on your taxes and that's about it. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer. I live in Maryland but used to own a wholesaler and would deliver to several petshops in PA. Never heard of any...

First, i hope you mean superworms. That mistake is often made. Second, aupers should be no more than say 25% of the chams diet. No 1 insect should be more than about 60%. Start mixing crickets, roaches, black soldier flies in now and hope he will take them.

I read that you decided to wait... Thats good. I personally would not raise a cham without a solid roach colony. Too expensive and too much of a pain to buy bugs daily plus there is a chance they be out. I am glad you asked before doing this. It would probably work for a while if he ate...

This is often asked about feeding them lizards and pinky mice. Generally the consensus is... Higher risk of disease, not sure of the digestability so stick with bugs.

I use dubias as my base.... right now I dont have much else ready to go except some Vietnamese stick insects and some bought super worms. I am waiting on soldier flies to pupate. When I get a bug order, I get 1 cup of hornworms to feed off quickly, 250 crickets which I feed off quickly as...

An angry male veiled? Is there any other kind?

never heard this... thank you. I feed a lot of flies.

Obviously things vary depending on climate but I live in the Maryland so I have to worry about fairly mild winters where 0 degrees is rare but 28 degree nights is common. We went without power for 10 days in winter once. I kept my dog, roaches, a plated lizard, 2 snakes and several aquariums...

where else can someone say, "I will keep watching his poo" and no one bats an eye? I mainly didn't want you to feel bad since you cant take him until next week. There are people who will try to make you feel that way. Not talking about Brody either, he/she is cool. Anyway, the safe bet is...

we know better, but some people here still have issues. Or someone that bought a veiled, some crickets and a kit from petco who wondered why their chameleon's eyes are sunk in and he wont eat might need help.

The vet visit would be advised, however, if it were on my bill, I would want to see whet the next deuce looks like before dishing out the money. Just like people, diarrhea could just be something didn't agree with you and is a 1 time occurrence, or you could be something serious. I don't rush...
