he's a good lookin' little guy that you have there, I wonder what Mia will think of him?

It kind of depends on where you live if you can catch wild ones, where I live there is not any. I will private message you.

I started a colony of indian sticks a while ago and just fed off one of the adults, my cham seemed to really love them and it was awesome seeing her eat it. They are also ultra easy to maintain a colony of so I would definately recommend them.

wow Sandra, that is great info, I had never heard of any way to gutload silks or horns. Will feeding silks/horns that stuff keep them alive for a few weeks instead of chow or do you recommend just using that gutload prior to feeding them off?

You can use most fruits, veggies and greens. Stay away from spinach and broccoli as they can prevent your Cham from absorbing calcium. Try doing a forum search of 'gutload' and you will find lots of good gutload items/recipes and check out Sandrachameleon's blogs for nutritional facts of...

there is no real way to gutload horns/silkies/butters but superworms are easily gutloaded. Dubia roaches are an easily gutloadable alternative to crickets. They breed easily, are very easy to take care of and don't stink.

I have used schefelleras in the past and prob will again but they are not great for 'soaking up misting water' as they are quite easy to over water (I'm talking from experience lol) If you decide on it make sure you use very good draining soil/sand mix. I would recommend a pothos, it can be...

hello Stuart and Percy and welcome to the forums. There is alot of very knowlegable keepers and good information here so ask questions, use the great search feature and read up so you can give your new buddy the best care.

Hello Jamie, how is the little guy doin? probably not so little anymore. These sticks were full grown, about 4.5'' long and their lower abdomen actually filled out quite a bit making them somewhat meaty, and it took Carmie about a minute to slurp the whole thing back so thats why I'm...

Hey Hoj, They are kind of a pet but the one bug with only 3 legs left couldn't get around very good so I mercy fed it haha. I bought them with the full intention of starting a feeder colony but treated them as pets too. From what I have researched here on the forums they are cham safe and a...

I bought four indian walking sticks months ago to start a colony with, well they are all adults now and have laid at least 100 or more eggs between them. All the sticks still have all 6 legs except one that is down to 3 legs (i don't know how he lost them, must have got in a fight with another...

I read something recently about beet greens as gutload and it said something about they are ok as very occasional but they contain high levels of 'sorry I forget the word right now' so they are not an ideal gutload item.

ya they should do the same thing and if you already have them and don't use them then its one less expense.

Thanks for the replies, I noticed that Carmie was eating less too, bring on the summer.

I noticed that since winter arrived here and the temps outside dropped so much that my f veiled is not as active in her cage as she was in the summer even though her enclosure temps are the same. Just curious if anybody else that lives in cold climates noticed this about their chams. I'm...

you can buy a whole roll of plastic coated tie wire at most hardware stores, you can cut it to any length you may need. Thats what I use and it works great. I also recommend a pothos and maybe a schleffera for live plants.

I personally use and recommend a therapeutic heating pad (without auto shutoff) that I bought at the pharmacy (shoppers drugmart) for $20. It just lays under the plastic bin and keeps the temps perfect. The one I have is sunbeam brand.

I did the cliche dozen roses and a romantic child free dinner out. I got her an ipod touch for her birthday a few weeks ago so for valentines I got her an itunes card, case, charging adaptors and a few other accesories.

you can try these two canadian feeder companies. I believe they are www.feederfactory.ca and www.canadianfeeders.ca I have never used either but have heard good things.
