I'm hanging out in my free range Schefflera... Just minding my own business, but in this damn iPhone won't leave me alone! iPhone Aggression by NERVOUS posted Mar 11, 2016 at 5:01 PM

I have ~25 extra BYGEL hanging planters (from IKEA). Please see this URL for additional details - http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10271091/ I use these hanging planters with the Dragon Ledges installed in my Dragon Strand Atrium enclosure... And they fit like a glove! In fact...

Both Supers and Dubias are definitely capable of climbing the sides of a screen enclosure, but neither of them will do this very often on their own. The bottom of my Cham enclosure is screen so, there's nothing for feeders to hide in (or under). I've tried leaving Supers and Dubias in the...

"Crunch... Crunch!" :ROFLMAO:(y):ROFLMAO:

Wow, he looks a lot like my Cham - Skittles! ;)

Got any pictures? ;)

Awesome enclosure... Great job! (y) I wish the larger sized Atrium enclosure had been available when I purchased my Dragon Strand... I definitely would've opted for it over the older medium sized Atrium enclosure I ended up with. Most frustrating part is I only missed the large by ~2 weeks...

@Chilipina and I took advantage of the rainy weather (here in SoCal) to do some rearranging. Skittles was beginning to outgrow some of his perches; which hadn't been updated since his arrival a few months ago... So, we did some updating. 1.) Added both horizontal and vertical framework to the...

Okay, WOW!... That's a LOT of worms! Now I'm back to thinking I should give the eggs a try! :ROFLMAO:

Glad I clicked on this thread... I was just about to order some Silk worm eggs, but I'm having second thoughts now. I'm gonna stick with the actual worms; which seem to be much easier to deal with. Two follow-up questions: 1.) Is 10 worms from 250 eggs the typical hatch rate? 2.) Is it...

I was just going to suggest Horn worms and/or Silk worms and/or Blue Bottle flies in addition to N. cinerea (aka Lobster roaches or Speckled roaches) and P. nivea (aka Green Banana roaches). Best of luck... Hopefully, one of the suggested feeders above will end your Cham's hunger strike. (y)

Thanks for the feedback... I appreciate it. Is your Cham a Panther too? If so, I'd be curious to see how big he is now. Got any current pictures and/or measurements?

Hmm... I'm certainly no expert here, but do you think he'll eventually get tired of eating the same thing all the time and transition to one (or more) of the other food items you're offering him? If not, then I'd just stay on top of the gut loading, dusting, etc... And wait him out. (y)

Just weighed my Chameleon again today. He weighed-in at 83.3 grams; which is an increase of 16.3 grams in the last 17 days. Anyone know what to make of this data? He's growing at a rate of almost 1 gram per day. o_O

Given the apparent prevalence of this exact behavior, I'm guessing it's something innate to Chameleons (i.e. a natural instinct). In the snake world, constrictors do something similar with their prey... They'll keep squeezing until the prey animal's heartbeat stops! So, my best guess is...

Given the reproductive rate I'm observing, I have very little doubt about N. cinerea (aka Lobster roaches, aka Spekled roaches) being capable of infesting a home in anything even remotely resembling a tropical climate. Let's not forget, these things are found to be thriving - in the wild - all...

I've got a ~6 month old male Panther too... And homeboy eats a LOT relative to his size! I'm feeding him 5-7 full-size Lobster roaches per day (which have to be roughly the equivalent of ~5 medium crickets each). Plus I give him an occasional Super worm or Horn worm pretty much every day. Oh...
