genetic mutation/defect that effects pigmentation
desirable to some, not so much to others. Its not a stage though, just a different color morph
apparently there's no effect on UV absorption w/ this mutation. I would have figured it'd be prone to sunburn but I guess not
try sand, mist frequently, or use a sand with a higher clay content.
make sure it stays moist (not soaked), the eggs desiccate pretty quick, so moisture is important
make sure its screened, esp w/ 500 crix, the males have a tendency to dig up and/or eat the eggs
thats what has worked...
dunno about impaction, I think that risk is with mealworms, not supers. As long as your cham is well hydrated it shouldnt be an issue. Superworms are actually fine as a staple as long as theyre gutloaded, and as long as you offer a variety of other feeders so its not 100% supers. Ideally...
its hard to dose properly if you add it to water, in general its cheaper/easier just to get the powdered form and dust the feeders. If you get it w/o D3 or any other vits it will keep forever
Ive heard of people using liquid CA in measured doses for chams/herps with MBD, but thats a forced...
I use 1/8" non-galvanized hardware cloth; small enough to stop the feeders from escaping, but big enough to let plenty of UVB/light in and allow for a good grasp
alternatively you could try plastic gutter-guard, but crickets might be able to chew through it
thats a great idea, I would imagine they're probably just as sensitive to chemicals as chams
Im not too worried about harming the moss, its already dead and siliconed onto the back, but the plants are a potential problem.
