I would suspect it is "skin beetles", Dermestidae, of some sort.

Im not trying to be rude here, its just that if you dont know these things by now, then you have not been reading all that much about the species. This is common knowledge and should be mentioned in most decent texts. Try these www.chamelonnews.com...

I have the exact same experience as Brock, got a female first, she got to be quite old. Females have a very nice pattern to them as well, and they have a special "personality", their own charm.

I have just kept them in plastic containers with some pin holes in the lid, never had any problems with escapees.

Good thing you started this tread, I was looking for a way to share this video I found. Maybe its just me, but for some odd reason I cant stop m,yself from laughing out loud looking at it... http://www.break.com/index/dumb-cat-cant-figure-out-how-to-drink.html

I did not knoe the larvae could attack cloth. However, you dont need to worry about the actual moth that escaped, just dont let loose any larvae. In my experience they tend to start covering themselves in "silk" (dont know the materiial name) as soon as they are out of their sweet wax combs.

Stop handling, he does NOT enjoy handling, it is stressful and basically harmful for the animal. Pictures of the animal and the cage would help. What lighting do you have?

Finally we are agreeing! :p

I dont really think insects can get gout. If you mean the lizard, then there is no high protein content left in the crickets after I gutload them. Thats the whole point. I dont get this part "Rofl, ofcourse not , gut contents are expelled regularly, but where does the energy from food...

Point taken on the fertilizer, its still a trade-off, money-fertilizer... Keeping healthy insects are important to me too, I dont have the problems you mention and I do not use gutload all the time. Think about it... :p I think we are a bit into therminology now. Im thinking of what we all...

Mmm, but.... Gut load is just that, GUT load. It does nothing over time, all the gut contents the times you did not use them as feeders are simply wasted. Its not a matter of build-up in the insects/larvae over time, its temporary contents in their guts. The insects will not become any more...

That point-and-shoot method you show on the first picture is great when you get some creepy bug inside and want it gone... I've used it many times, it is the perfect symbiotic relationship...

Ah, there is nothing better than taking your chameleons out in the summer. It gives you a warm feeling when you see how much they love the sunlight and the random bug to eat. The only downside is how bad you feel when you have to take them inside again...

That is quite odd, i have never seen that. If anything, I have noticed they do best in wery dry beddings, some carrots now and then for moisture has worked for me. Wee seem to have wery different experiences :) Do they all eat on eachother, or the larger eating the smaller?

The material you use does not matter, just the result, meaning you should be able to dig a 30 cm hole without the material caving in. I have used sand, peat mulch, planting soil, you name it. I know most people put a egg bin in the cage, and I think you should too. However, I use a more...

Superworms, are those Zophobas? There is no need to spend too much money on these critters, they will grow just fine om the cheapest things you give them, like chicken or turkey chow etc etc. They will buzz through a wooden log if you gave it to them... Just bring out the good stuf when...

Well, yo say it yourself, its a landing strip. If you want to fly to an island, thats how its done... The question is what the big blue spot the whole island is smack in the middle of is...

Those are good looking snakes, I have some Sanzinia myself. Madagascar know how to make animals...

The UV-source is just that - the source of UV. This has nothing to do with the visual "white" light you want, you will have to get that on the side. Daylight tubes are great, lots of different brands.

I would suggest you read some on the different subjects of www.chameleonnews.com www.adcham.com and any other good information sites people here would rekommend for you.
