I wouldn’t feed more than once a day. Maybe in a few more months you can start cutting him back. I keep an eye on cheeks and casque. If I see that they’re starting to bulge out, I adjust my feedings.

One of my favorites is schefflera. They can outgrow your enclosure, but it takes them some time and you can easily trim them back.

I have noticed the forum being in a bit of a slump lately, but it does seem to ebb and flow. Also, I haven’t been on or active as much lately in recent weeks/months, although I do check in a couple of times daily usually. I agree with @Beman that we have more members picking up the torch to do...

I can’t remember exactly why, but the store bought ones are less likely to cocoon. I think it’s some sort of growth inhibitor or something along those lines. Anyhow, your worms will cocoon and you’ll need to open the silk or coax them out. You will probably want to store some in the fridge to...

It looks beautiful! So does your cute little man! 🤗 I’m not up on Jackson’s husbandry, but can comment in general things. The most important feedback to give you is about your night team temps. You really need them to be below at least 68F - especially for a Jackson’s. With a veiled or panther...

I have stopped (for now) my cricket breeding attempts. For some reason, it wasn’t terribly successful for me. I think part of that is because I just had far too much going on. I have to admit that there were a few times I completely missed seeing the bin of baby crickets and so forgot to feed...

Look to our sponsors. https://www.chameleonforums.com/sponsors/?tag=chameleons I know some of them don’t have any chams available at current. Honestly, most of what you pay for when buying a chameleon (or any animal) is the reputation of the breeder. Good breeders work very very hard to put out...

I had just given them fresh food when I moved the bigger ones to the smaller jar. It’s probably desire to start to cocooning or something. 🤷‍♀️ I have seen the smaller ones climbing the jar, but that was because they needed fresh food. Once I gave it, they went back down and were happy. I used...

Oh no! Where is Mr Lola? You lost him! All I see are pretty flowers and a fern. Some strange looking pink root is escaping your plant bed…you might want to keep an eye on that…might be an invasive plant.

Another layer of potential escapee intervention is I place the jars inside of a bin. I keep them in my garage so they’re warm and grow better, but if they escape, I’ll never find them so am extra cautious. I do check them daily as well.

I tried a few different methods. First I just cut to fit the screen to set into the lid. That wasn’t quite secure enough so I tried hot glue to secure the screen on the inside of the lid. Not a great solution, so I then tried hot glue on the outside…also not great. The little buggers eat thru...

I am extremely aware of this and as diligent and responsible as I can be with them. The poor bees have it tough enough without adding another reason for them to struggle to survive.

I’ve had to rescreen some windows and enclosures and so I have some left over. You can buy rolls of screening at any Home Depot, Lowe’s or other similar store - even Walmart used to carry it. Don’t get the fiberglass though…they can eat their ways thru that too. Last year I read an article about...

If Spooble is anything like any of mine, you’ll only ever get to take pics of one side at a time. They never ever give me a full face pic.

Those plants look so wonderfully healthy! Makes me want to get some more of them. lol

https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/ This will help, if you haven’t already read it. It takes much time and patience. Hold the cup out to where your chameleon can see the food inside moving around (support your arm with something) and don’t make eye...

Yup, that’s how it’s done. The worms will make quick work of eating thru the paper towel though and make their great escape. I had tried cotton fabric and they were eating thru that. Now I use several layers of screening in the lid, and the little buggers sometimes still can force their way thru...

My Beastie came home today. 😢❤️

What does one do when they can’t sleep? Well, getting curly whirly pics to revive this thread of course. ;) Mango - right in front by the door, so he can come out as soon as it opens. Bart - in his all time favorite spot in his money tree Stella - sleeping directly in front of her...

No idea, but they are beautiful.
