I also have a photo album on here of my soldier fly buckets and how I made them. Probably very similar to what you know by now, but maybe worth checking out. I have two five gallon bucket type in my walk in cage. I do sprinkle some of the harvested grubs right in the planters and they emerge as...

Josh’s Frogs has Reptiworms (same thing as calciworms) they are all black soldier fly larvae. I don’t think you need to gutload them at all, they are little nutrition pills. Once they get to be full sized grubs, they will not ever eat again anyway, they are done. One thing I would always...

I have to agree, he's got some spectacular color coming in for his age!

Home Depot, as well as other places, sell washing machine pans that would be a perfect base for chameleon cages. They are sturdy 30” x 32” white polypropylene that includes a drain fitting. Google “washing machine pan” to get an idea. Sounds just about the right dimensions to make a nice cage, too.

One thing with the gel tub with the tube, with my Green Banana roaches they lay eggs in the gel inside the tube and the little nymphs cant get back out through the screen, so I have to leave the lid a little open so they can get out. Haven’t noticed that with crickets, though.

Here’s two ideas for you that I use, first in a smaller bin and second if you have room for it: First, use a cap from a plastic bottle for a base and hot glue a little circle of plastic window screen. Makes a simple cup for water crystals they can slurp through the screen or climb all...

I am in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Not a wild chameleon. This is inside a big cage, here’s another picture. My BSF buckets are under that piece of plastic leaning against one wall, it keeps the rain out of the buckets and allows the adult flies to go in and lay eggs so the buckets produce soldier...

I raise black soldier flies in two five gallon bucket growers in a large walk in cage, here’s a young chameleon who has perched himself right on one of the buckets to grab the adult flies that are attracted back to the buckets to lay eggs. I hope he leaves a few to keep my buckets going. I think...

Try looking up in the trees at night with a strong flashlight, there is a strong possibility that you are in one of those deliberately populated areas out there.

There have been hundreds of escapes so those can turn up anywhere. In addition to those, there are populations that have been deliberately established (besides the known Ft. Meyers group) by people intent on harvesting them for the pet trade. That’s a sad but true fact. Those populations will...

I would be interested in the general area where you found him. There are feral populations in known spots like Ft. Meyers, would be interesting if this is a lone escape, part of a known colony or another population popping up somewhere else.

There’s six cups located throughout the cage so I can put food in whichever one is close by. I have hooks all over so I can put a cup pretty close to the usual spots almost anywhere in the cage. There’s multiple criss crossing ropes to climb on and get around and they usually walk quickly to a...

This is about five feet wide by ten feet long or so. One end is a small shed that serves as my bug farm for crickets and soldier fly pupating bin. I currently have a trio of young Nosey Be’s in there. I have kept large panther chameleons too but I was afraid he’d eat my little ones so now I just...
