Mine will only eat 6-12, so feed them What ever he will eat limit it to 15. As far as dusting goes, sprinkle a tiny pinch of powder in a cup and shake up the crickets. Its not an exact science but u will see they will lighten in color.
Hijack!!
I got a 250 butterworms from LLL. What sort of care do they need? Can i gutload them? If I can them what should I give them? Can I feed 5-6 crickets and a few butter worms to my 5 month old panther and oustalet? Or should they be a treat only?
Pine
I used select pine from a lowes type store. Its less work if your boards are straight and not warped. I used only a brad nailer, pocket screw jig, craftsman 10" chop saw and a screw gun to make mine. I also stained and poly coated mine, the mistwater just beads off. Ill post pics if u...
I picked up a new Ousta, from EricSorg. I was going to order from LLL as it was a 10-12 bucks cheaper as im sure fedex cuts LLL a discount. Eric let me pick one out thru pictures and promised me to be 80-90% accurate on the sex, something LLL wouldnt do. Dont get me wroung LLL is a great company...

Id guess it was up to you. I dont want a huge fixture hanging above my cage so i got with the household because i can keep it right on the screen. U could get another "plant" tube UVA and those have really good color. Im not sure the flood lights will do any harm to there eyes. But if they start...
Wild
Wild chams are usually full of parasites and other fun things. Thats partly why most WC need hundreds of dollars worth of vet visits to get healthy.
So I want another male cham. Obviously ill keep them separate, but i wanted to see if you guys or ladies, could give me a thumbs up on the sex of this guy I picked out. He is the one closer to the camera with the shed on his head.
