I want an acrylic enclosure for the beautiful unobstructed view but I’m concerned about retention of heat and humidity, adding PC fans to manage it all, and the stress from reflections
I don’t think this has anything to do with the branches. Poor buddy I’m so sorry you have to deal with the stress of this. I hope he’s going to be alright. There are so many variables with adopted Chams.
They don’t care because they breed in the tens of thousands and if a few hundred die it’s just at cost (which is nothing) and a cost of doing business.
AND they’re certainly not feeding big burger and dragon fuel lolol
A black cylindrical 5 gallon bucket is needed so we can test this hypothesis. I’ll buy one for you and have it shipped to your house! They’re on Amazon for $10.00 with Prime delivery. I think it has to be a black bucket and here’s why:
Shark tanks are cylindrical because sharks must swim...
All of my chameleons are adults on the verge of obesity so I don’t need too many crickets! When babies are around it’s like a conveyor belt of feeders. Not so much anymore.
The only downside is Arcadia Dragon fuel is $20.00 a bag and Repashy Bug Burger is $12.00 for the two bottles you need for the 50/50 mix. So you’re in about $35.00 with tax. I would estimate that’s enough food to feed 1,000 crickets. Crickets are 13 cents each so that’s $130.00 worth of...
I buy 50 crickets weekly and keep them in a clean black bucket under my grasshopper enclosures with no lid. The bucket is new so the sides are smooth. They can’t climb or jump out. And it’s really dark under there. I just toss them in the bucket and give them food. They have no cardboard...
But I don’t like that they can hold on to things so tightly that it can hurt or even detach a chameleon’s tongue. So I would still snip or crush both ends! Or just use my silks
I started adding purple sweet potatoes to the hoppers’ diet and they seem to like them. Also purple cabbage. I’m trying to see what colorful things they will eat, or if they have a preference. So far they haven’t turned anything down. Collards and frisée greens seem to be a favorite but...
I just moved away from hornworms because they’re so wet and gross and poop an insane amount. And they bite and cause injury. Crickets also bite when left to roam free overnight. Silkworms, superworms, calcium worms, and hoppers are my magical combo of feeders. No more bites or odors!
