What are sources for bugs to acquire pesticides? Gardeners who use it on their plants, or agriculture?

I had to look away while getting my cham to learn to hand feed at first lol

My little female made a wheeze kind of hiss noise when she shot at a few really far crickets the other day. I think the noises you usually hear from chams will come deep from their lungs so hisses and maybe a whistle kind of sound are possible but since I don't think they don't have very...

Well I have to say, my female panther has yet to lay her first clutch, and I am KIND OF proud. I am either doing something good, or not at all :) I am keeping my female in an enclosure that has a heat bulb but it is not pointed directly at the enclosure so my temps don't exceed 80F. This, and...

Haha. I didn't know Parsons like to go to the swimming pool :p

So basically you are genius. About $1.50 per connector and $2.00/ft for tubing? To add to this thread I would recommend this: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24286&catid=873&clickid=popcorn or any of their various types of plastic sheeting :) What about the metal...

If someone has a scale they could weigh out the supplement added using their shaker technique and figure out how much supplement actually got to their cham. It is kind of odd that nobody has evaluated their supplementation by weight on this forum before..just sayin:rolleyes:

btw..I did exactly what you see in this link posted by Summoner. I have pics of what I did if anyone wants them posted. I used a T8 ballast and retrofit the cheapest 48" T5 hood I found at Home Depot by just scrapping the electricals it came with. If I wanted to, I could have left the T5 ballast...

It looks almost flush with his lip now, it was a very small bump in the first place, the size of a freckle:rolleyes: I had him open his lip a little again and found nothing to be concerned about. Well I know my chemistry of peroxide and I believe both sides of the peroxide debate to be...

Well I have a lump on the lip of my chameleon and here is what I did. Had him open his mouth and drew some pus from the abscess by pushing lightly from the outside with the blunt end of a tweezers. I then stretched down his lip a little and wiped out the little bit of pus that came out of a...

Thanks for sharing! Oustaleti chameleons are so cool!

should somebody try this? just imagine the sideview.pdf clipped together, stretching the cloth taunt, with the magnets. Easy and simple DIY i thought of this. use a flip flop method in which a screen of chosen mesh size, will act as a false bottom or false top. The concept is to have a...

I'm no expert, but my logic says you should probably not use chillies if you plan to feed off the crickets in a matter of days or weeks after the fact..I have a feeling it would not be good to have undigested chili enter your cham's digestive system.

what's hard about it? google "nursery" or just go to a home depot, they have nurserys. Is it that you trying to find cheap plants? Just hop your neighbor's fence and uproot the first plant you see;) most people on this forum use pothos, hibiscus, scheff, ficus, or pachira aquatica because they...

If you bought that from home depot I would go back and see if you can't get the aluminum stuff of the same mesh-size. There are two home depots where I live. One store had only fiberglass but the other store had the aluminum screening.

Well this morning, my chameleon was still learning/exploring his new set up and..his new mistking timer. No longer are the days where he fears my red hand-pump bottle mister. Today, after some basking, he walks a vine right up to the head of the mister nozzle, sits there and BAM, sprays in his...

You have to consider the concept that, since the eve of this reptile trade, our methods of caring/breeding have been selecting bloodlines very unlike how nature would. Not horribly though, nature is ALMOST COMPLETELY RANDOM. But just like you say, for example, those who would die in nature...

oh hahaha..hornworm blood goes SPLAT too. haha too funny

Thanks, I think my 150W bulb will do well for this.

I wanted to use a single heat bulb for these two chams. I will put branches or vines near/under the lamp for both panthers. If I can get by with only one heating element my issue is that I need to visually separate the female's cage from the male's tree/free range. I have not done this yet...
