Yes, if fed other insects often, then impacting should not occur...but it can still happen and i fear that egg bound females are partly due to high chitin and lack of water, but have no proof.

For a growing male panther I would feed as much as he want to eat each day until he is a year old.
Wax worms are only used when I feel my animals are skinny but are divine as a treat once a month.
Gut loading and a proper dusting regiment is key to a healthy male panther.
So don't use...
Hi everyone,
I have a long term wild caught adult male quad for sale.
He is strong and healthy and knows what to do with the ladys.
He gave me a total of 16 healthy babies and needs a new owner who will care for him.
While he is shy of cameras, he prefers to be hand fed and enjoys...
Hi Summoner,
Please pardon me for a moment...
In no way am I trying to argue against your advice, But I have some deep questions.
First, do you really think that the numbers of your meter will be the same at both 10 meters above sea level and at 2800 m, like where jacksons originate?
Clearly...
I hoped others would have replied, buy here is my two cents worth...
As for the bulb, there is no reason to not use the 5.0 even in the winter months.
Each bulb is made for different environments.
So the 10.0 is mostly for wide open skys with almost no shade...think desert.
The 5.0 bulbs...
I'm sorry Tiff, I'm not always clear...
As a Jackson, the is a slow growing chameleon.
Unlike your Veilds, that are fast growers and need extra vitamins and minerals, Jackson's don't.
The reason why they only need calcium once a week is because their metabolic rate is slower and they require...
Dearest Tiff,
The reason he doesn't bask under his UV lights much is a combination of they live in the shade and your D3 suplimentation that OS not needed...even in the winter.
I personally fear that of you keep up the D3, you will find that he will at first never bask near the IV bulb...
Hello Tiff,
I know It's been a long time, but I'm so glad that I seem this thread.
First off, monty is a Jackson. That means he is a montane chameleon. Since most here don't read everything before posting, I would take all advice with a grain of salt due to most will think that he is just...
I'm down to just one Quad, and about to get two panthers.
I've fed oranges to my feeders for hydration and vitamins for 4 years now. My Quads and panthers never complained in the past. Lol

Well it is summer, and I'm sure some of you are out catching all sorts of things to fed your pets.
Well my chams and mantids are begging you to find food for them that I can't buy from the normal places.
Willing to pay or I have ooths to traid.
Do you have something odd or with wings...
First I want to day thank-you for giving us a detailed question that leaves is with almost nothing to ask.
Ok, as long as the cages are acoss from the AC, they will be fine. The cages can also be next to the AC, but not in front.
Montains, will love you. Panthers and Veilds will stay...
oh come on now. you have personaly heared many of my cold weather shipping adventures to know how to ship in the cold...this doesn't include some crazy weather that you get. but then again who would even want to go outside in the weather you get just to mail a package.
I've personally have...
I could not agree with Laurie and others on this forum any more then I do on this subject.
while I have had shipments shipped both to me and from me in cold winter months, when temps get too low the worst is always a possability.
heck, just about a year ago I had a shipment of some montains...
