Katacara, Glad to hear that the "milk jug" feeder is working for your cham. I use the same type of feeder with crickets and supers. They stay put for the most part. Due to the "active" nature of horns and silks, I hand feed them and dubias, as they tend to run and hide. Sometimes, I put the...

you might find this link helpful: http://www.chameleonbreeder.com/podcast/ep9-chameleons-and-water/ I highly recommend auto misting, as you will find it's consistent day in and day out. I have the Mist-King system and it requires very little maintenance and has been trouble free since I...

Hang in there! In my court, We're known as the "bug family" with a little dinosaur. I've begrudgingly established a dubia colony, a superworm colony and am now pupating the older hornworms in the hopes that Lucky will like hawk moths. He eats out of the first two colonies in waves. When I have...

Stunning coloration in your little guy.

You might try a roach species vs. crickets. Additionally, depending on the size of your little girl, you could hatch an oothica of mantids/preying mantis to add variety to her diet. For what it's worth, most of us at one time or another have multiple feeders that our chams. no longer want/will...

For what it's worth, you might take a look here to find your specific cham. breeder. The shows are often times a recipe for disaster, unless you have a specific breeder in mind that it is attending your show. If so, contact them before you go and get a specific understanding for who/what you're...

Turn you heat lamp off for tonight and take some temp readings. As mentioned above, gaping is a sign that your cham. is too hot.

What a beautiful little girl!

I've had a couple of dry runs with mine. What I do is have the pump running while I disconnect the line from the 90* into the spray head and put it into a bucket. (bucket should be lower than the enclosure/ spray head while you're priming the pump). You need to purge the air from the line and...

Hope these help.

How do I feed my dubia? By hand. I have the same prob. The damn roaches just sit there like a lump and Lucky passes right over them. You may need to only try dubia on the weekends or whenever your off from work in the am. I know, I don't have time either, but M-F he can eat supers, horn, silk...

In lieu of fishing line, I use rare earth magnets and hot glue. I have also used zip ties run up through the edges of the top and then capture the end of the zip tie with another as it pokes out of the top of the seams of the cage. I'll post a pic. when I can. Easier seen than explained. As they...

Well...I would have Virgil, but...Lucky's my little piggy. I'll try to get a pic, or a little vid of him w/ the dubia tomorrow.

OK. I guess I'll hang on to the dubia. Lucky took another male adult this am. I've got to get a picture,

Well...I was holding the wings when he shot at it this am. I'll try holding the abdomen tomorrow am and if he takes it, I'll report back.

Lookin' good Stan. Happy B-day!

Just when I thought Lucky wouldn't eat roaches anymore...he did. As of yesterday, he hadn't eaten a roach in a year. So... I put an add up to sell my "prize reserve" colony (smallish dubia colony kept inside on seed warming mat and fed fresh fruits and veggies as a gut load). I have not fed any...

More than likely it was his hemi penis that popped out. Glad it went back in.

CL, Give LB's advice a shot. Hopefully that's it. However, if you don't hear anything from the pump and it doesn't prime up, chances are that your power adaptor has gone the way of the dodo. If it were me, I'd give Marty a call and explain to him what's happening. I'm hoping that it's just the...
