My 1000 crickets arrive today! Got some bug burger, flukers cricket diet. And flukers cricket water gel all ready. We'll see how long these last. I'll post a picture of my setup once I dump then in.

Anyone use bioactive with crickets? Saw 2 videos on YouTube about using soil, leaf litter, and isopods with crickets and it helping to keep clean and also help reduce die off. I have 1000 crickets inbound and need to build their container.

It took me long enough to get over dubias and bringing in different breeds of roaches just makes me uneasy lol

I wish my guy didn't stop eating dubias... I have a self sustaining colony but he won't touch them unfortunately. Going to buy 1000 and sew how that goes. I got a 56qt container from target so we'll see.

Does too small a container contribute to die off? I have my 100 in a 5gal tote. I can try a larger one and see how that goes. Do most people have 2 bins to swap back and forth for cleaning?

Does anyone have a written guide for how to keep crickets alive? I can't keep 100 crickets alive for more than 4 or 5 days and honestly they live just fine in my garage because it seems that any that have gotten out have been breeding and living their best life in my garage. How big of a...

I agree with everything you said! I'll trim it back, it's just starting to get to be a jungle and I love it but I'll do some tactical trimming. And yes, I agree he looks healthy but he's not eating at a time I thought they should be packing on the pounds. Bur maybe I'm wrong.

2.3 at his back on the branch. Here are some more shots now that I'm home and don't have to ask my wife for pics via text lol.

My mistake... I was posting that list from memory... I'll try to edit but it may be too late. I measured like 3.2uvi when new and it's been going down but now is 2.3.

It's been a bit, ill go fill out the template and paste here

Well I posted this back in January and I've been on the lookout ever since and I've not been able to find his pooping spot. he has been getting more and more lethargic and has basically stopped eating regularly and only about 1x a week and only crickets so I'm making an appointment for the...

You can see here that black probe is the thermostat and the white box is the govee.

OK 1 month in and I have to say... if you don't have one of these... GET ONE NOW! It's made such a difference in my chameleons behavior and I can tell that having the right basking temp is always where it needs to be. it seems like this should be added to the basic husbandry checklist. Its...

Without trying to sound rude what does something like this cost?

Thanks! He eats a ton and getting big but I just wish his fat pads were larger. I've lost 2 other chameleons and the only thing I didn't do was frequent parasite checks so I just want to get ahead of any issues.

Cool. I try the overfeeding idea and I'll clean really well and just check a few times a day. I want to do this proactively and since I've been wanting to do it I've not seen a poo... of course!

I want to get my guy checked for parasites... But I can't seem to find any fresh sample. By the time I find it it's dry and won't be a viable sample. Is it possible to get a broad spectrum parasite treatment or do I absolutely need a fecal first? I feed my guy a lot and I feel like his fat...

If you're handy I'd pull it apart and see if there is a model number on the LCD and if it's serviceable. might be cheaper than a whole new unit.
