SJ, If you haven't already, please fill out the "how to ask for help questionnaire here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/ This will provide us with a good start as to where your Jackson may have taken a left turn. For what it's worth Jacksons take a bit of...

Never had a problem. Never even thought of this until now. Seems like it would take a magnifier (for me), a sharp pair of scissors and a steady hand. No coffee for me.

Try golden pathos. Plentiful, easy to keep and they can fill an enclosure quickly.

Put your cup/feeder just below his basking spot with a treat or two in it. Something that he finds irresistible like a hornworm and he should get the idea. I've gotten to the point now where Lucky goes over to his cup each morning and takes a look. I mix up his feedings from cup, hand and free...

I have been breeding a select few of my own insects (supers, crickets and dubia) without problem. I live in a Mediterranean climate, which is different from yours, but do occasionally I hear a chirping cricket that can not be located. My advice is to be vigilant, as with any other pet/feeder and...

With that little of a cham., pinheads are a good choice. If ordering from Rainbow, try a culture of fruit flies too and see if they have tiny 1/8 dubias that they would be willing to ship, or find a friend with a dubia colony. Rainbow has been good to me and their cust. serv. is second to none.

Oh yea. A walk about while you clean is the standard. Keep a close eye and go from there.

I concur. A 5 ga.. bucket from HD is the standard due to the thickness and the lid.

SB, Almost grown, but not quite there yet. Usually, veileds fully mature at 1 year plus. For the male/female Q: Check your chams back feet. If there are metatarsal spurs present, then it's a male, if not, then.... https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

Depends on where you're located. Take a look at one of our members or sponsors on the food page. If on the west coast, try rainbow mealworms. All should guarantee live arrivals with post office pick up and replacement if not.

When I'm out of hornworm chow, I feed mine sweet red, yellow, or green pepper. While they don't retain the beautiful blue green coloration, Luck eats them all the same.

The "commercial cups" are their design and convenient to purchase if you're not a craft person. The benefit is you are supporting small business and you've got a tested design. If you're "crafty" like me, do a search and make your own. Either way, your cham benefits. Let us know and post a...

You can buy one as mentioned above, or make your own. They are good for some feeders, depends on the design you use. Do a search for feeder cups in the above search bar and get your reading glasses ready. Lots of info here on ready to buy and make you own feeder cups. Let us know what you decide.

Weebo, Good for you. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get the clear sided enclosure from Bill and a quad light fixture from Todd. OCK is right! E-mail Todd and tell him what you want to keep and give him dimensions of your setup. He'll get you the right mix in your lighting setup.

That's quite a recipe. You may want to go with just one veggy as a control group, and go from there. If you're just feeding crix, try varying the feeders and the gut load with just one item per feeder.

Start with hand feeding. If he'll take a feeder item from you that's a good start. From there, offer a hand and see if he'll climb on. Lucky climbs on my out stretched hand, up my arm and then wants back into his enclosure. It's good enough for me and it doesn't appear that he's stressed while...

I'm in N.CA and have two HUGE colonies of them. Let me know what you need and we'll go from there.

CN6540, Welcome to the site. I do not use supers as a staple feeder; however, some do. If you do, make sure they are gut loaded well. In response to your questions: 1. If I'm going to work early, I will usually put them in a feeder cup that's suspended on the wall of the enclosure. Lucky goes...

It's an amazingly rewarding experience for me to have Lucky strike a bug from my fingers. Makes me smile every time.

CN6540, As Matt indicated above, they need isolation from the other worms to pupate. Here's a link that maybe of use: http://www.geckotime.com/how-to-breed-superworms/ I raise my own and have had great success with them. Easy to keep and breed if you follow the steps above. Heck, for what...
