Funny Yeah, every time the inlaws come over they say the same thing. "When are you going to start charging the neighborhood kids admission?" For some reason I'm thinking the chams are thanking me for that. The collection has been stedily growing over the last couple years. I have a goal...

Oh if it were only that easy...... I would have done it years ago. Problem is.....I live in Pennsylvania. If I'm not mistaken, mulberry trees have a tough time making it through central california winters.....let alone constant temps of close to 0.....with snow....and such. Alas....the life...

Congrats!! People like that deserve to get whats coming to them!

I know each one of them by name....but as far as exactly how many i have......I'm not exactly sure. I think its 34. But dont quote me on that. And thats not counting all the babies about to hatch!! Very soon I'm going to be running around here pulling my hair out with a clutch of Sambavas...

When hatching out in smaller quanitities like that...it makes life much easier. The problems start when your trying to raise thousands at a time. I do it the same way you do....the problem is, there is never a point where all the worms completely migrate to the new food. There are always a few...

ITS MINE!!! I thought of it first! Now could someone point me in the direction of information on how to start a mass mulberry tree farm? lol. But seriously, I'd definately buy them instead of the chow....the chow drives me nuts at times.

I have to agree with you. Those little silkies are such a pain when they're small. Once they get bigger, they start eating all the food you put in, but until then....its a nightmare......And dont even think about not removing the old food. If you put new food ontop of old food...you just get...

Allow me to play devils advocate here. Its true silkworms natural diet is Mulberry leaves. The chow that coastal and the other silkworm producers sell is made from Mulberry leaves. I do have to strongly agree that if there is any even remote posability that the tree has been exposed to a...

wow....that interesting stuff. Especially seeing as ficus is such a widely recommended plant. But on the flip side, I've heard that the sap from schefflera can cause the same kind of irritation. Of course I have no idea where exactly I read that....and am not even sure if it was a reliable...

The oracle Wow jenna.....thats quite a compliment! But I must agree. You do an awsome job of answering q's on this forum. So I agree! Jenna the Panther Oracle!! P.S. Could you tell me exactly when all my clutches will start hatching?? I'm just trying to plan out my advertising blitz and that...

If your looking for a pet, and you have no plans of breeding....I'd definately recommend a male. Females are much smaller, and usually a brownish pinkish color. They dont mature into the brilliant colors that the males do. Plus their nutritional requirements can be a bit more complicated than...

Good luck with that. I love the photo contest! I'm looking forward to seeing your pics. Before you buy, just make sure you have all the supplies you need to properly set up a cham....then make sure you have a good bit of cash left over for food.....I forget how nice it must be to only buy...

Personally I'd be more comfortable with a bunch of silkies running around my cage than a bunch of crickets. As far as I know, silkies wont try to eat anything but mulberry leaves, or mulberry chow made specifically for silkworms. I've had silkworms stay alive and crawl around a cage for more...

good point. And I'm sure if you used highly nutritious feeders such as silkies, wild caught stuff, and gutloaded crickets, you'd be just fine. So long as you can keep them from making your cham their meal.

Silkworms are a great idea. They're a bit more pricy but they'll keep you from having to deal with crickets constantly running around. But the idea of realeasing a few days worth of food all at once in a chams cage is a little risky in my opinion. Sure you may be able to get away with it, IF...

Great idea. Its really not to hard to keep a chameleon. You just have to make sure you have the time and resources to do everything right before you dive in. Your doing the right thing asking around before you make the big move. Kudos to you!

Hey noah, By the way...nice name. You must have had very smart parents. lol Anyway, onto your concerns. Unfortunately, it sounds like a chameleon might not be for you. Chams are very delicate, and definately need daily attention. They need fed everyday, and at the very least, at least...

I find that it has happened this way alot with me. It seems to me like all the east coast chams like to wait till their over a year old...sometimes close to 2 before they really start showing their vibrant colors. Even Jokton wasn't all that stunning at a year old. Its only been within the last...

Pelet all fired up!

thanks drake. I cant say enough about how happy I am this guy turned out so nice. It was looking like he was gonna be a dud there for a while.......
