Andee keeps them. Having seen her on here in a bit. You could message her or tag her. I don't know how.

Sounds like he's bored with the steak and potatoes (crickets and dubias) and once he got a taste of something different he doesn't want to go back. variety seems to be key with chams... Both for physical and mental health. I would ad superworms to your feeding routine. Maybe once a week, but...

Have either of you tried different foods? Dubias are my base food but when they go on hunger strikes they don't last long because I give them a different food. I use black soldier flies as regular feeder now and they never refuse them. Before I had them, my chams would refuse food from time to...

Have you tried other species of roaches? Some chams that won't take dubias will take orange heads. And I've never heard of a cham refusing green bananas.... They are expensive and more difficult to raise though. But might be the bridge to get you chams into other roaches.

Never heard of dubias infesting anywhere. They like to bury in leaf litter etc.

I got lucky, local pet shop who I used to work for had orange heads and dubias. Since their employees couldn't understand that the note on each cage that said 'only sell small nymphs' meant to not sell the big guys, the colonies were being decimated... So they let me take them home. I grew the...

Ive been thinking about red runners but haven't gotten definitive answers about whether or not they can infest. I am currently working on an orange head colony since they are more lively and are supposed to have more meat to waste ratio. They are bigger than dubias and the nymphs are too so I...

Black soldier fly larvae, aka bsfl, Phoenix worms, calci worrms and repti worms. Josh had a good point of testing out what she will eat. Vieldes aren't normally picky unless the the food scares them... Either too big of it they never had worms, a super might scare them. If they do refuse a...

Congrats on entering the world of chameleon servitude. I use screen cages and I don't cover the sides for my panthers. I use live plants (mostly pothos) which keeps the humidity up. I guess it depends on where you live as to whether you need to cover the sides of not. 18x18x36 is nice because...

Yes they were caught and released in the same place.

I kept snakes (few months then released) without my mom knowing. Lol.

Funny thing with my sticks is I won't see much food gone then the leaves will be gone over night. I think they eat the most after a molt. All you can really do is look for little bites on edges of leaves. Never had any problems with Vietnamese eating. How many nymphs did you get? Do they...

Best way to get humidity up is with a nice big pothos. Our Lowe's has 2 sizes and the bigger is either $11 or $12. I put the pot on the bottom and tie and work the vines up high. I mist way less than recommended and have no humidity or dehydration issues. Even in the winter, that enclosure...

Is that species on the safe list? It's not the umbrella I am familiar with. Also,with that much cover, I don't think your live plant will get enough light. I would personally remove some artificial plants and prop the real plant on something to get it closer to the light. Even without the...

Since you are in florida... Does your cham live outside most of the time? If so, would a culture of discoids raised in a shed be an option? You would have to see if they could handle the heat of a shed... It perhaps just a rigged up shelter with lots of ventilation to keep the animals and rain...

They aren't that difficult... At least the vietnamese. Just make sure they can get to the food and you will be fine.

Nothing wrong with that. Didn't know you already had them. I don't mist as often as I should. I sometime miss a few days at a time. The Vietnamese are pretty forgiving.

I use water that's been sitting out for 24 hours to allow dechlorination. Don't know f it's necessary but I try to do this for all animal and indoor plants.

Crack habits are cheaper.

Back when I first raised and bred chameleons (20 years) all I ever had was crickets and supers. My veildes lived 2 - 2.5 years. For the day that wasn't bad. I bought a box of 500 crickets which came in on Wednesday. They would last me a week and a half so I fed supers for half a week waiting...
