I agree with most of what Flux said. They are the easiest to breed (easier than Red Runner) of all the colonies I keep. Their biggest downside for me is containing them in an area within the enclosure where they can be seen long enough to be had by the chameleon. They move a lot, which...
It looks good, nice and dense so they feel secure. I'll echo the sentiment about providing a leaf litter on at least half the ground, however. They want to blend in with their surroundings. The leaf litter will also provide a long-term solution as a buffer to keeping the ground moist, but not...
This is where I bought mine: http://www.eggboxes.com/Category/Egg%20Trays
I bought two big boxes of 140 each a year ago and have yet to get through one box yet, and I replace the flats in my roach bins every few months.
I have been avoiding it like the plague because I thought it was silly but at this point I cannot handle my bigger chams without ending up bloody. Both of my hands and wrists are covered in open wounds due to claws.
What kind gloves am I looking for? I have such an awful sense of fashion I...
So my Rudis chameleon gave birth to 10 babies. I have them in a exo terra nano for the time being with a 13w CFL 5.0 UVB bulb overhead. It's not bright at all and it's over a screen so I don't think it'll be a problem for them being too strong.
How long until I should expect them to want to...
I'm looking for the largest subspecies of jacksons. I don't know where to source them. Most if not all the ones currently on the market appear to be WC Hawaiian or Floridian jacksonii.
Please PM me if you have a source.
Assuming of course you think water is going to somehow stay in an already water-rich insect, sure. But it's not going to work. Your best bet is to feed the crickets apple, fresh lettuce leaves, or something else with water in it.
Fantastic documentation. Well done. And you really shouldn't worry too much about the ones that don't hatch. Your hatch rate sounds better than in-nature. Babies that can't help themselves out of the shell are thought to not be strong enough to survive to adulthood anyhow.
Those branches are fantastic. You could honestly get away selling clumps of 3-4 of those on eBay internationally. People would use them for chams and leaf-tailed geckos.
The chams are cool too haha. :D
Yes I will bump this once again just because this is the basis for many a feeder cup I've made. And I'll echo the above sentiment as well: if you're using a particularly clear plastic, put some tape or some color on the lip/bottom because I've had a couple chameleons that will try to shoot their...
This is ridiculous. A search for darigold creamer on amazon yields next to nothing and on ebay it won't even search for it. It autocorrects to 'dairy'.
Now I don't know where to get this :(
