I wish I lived in Cali! All the people giving away/ selling stuff I need are 80% of the time in cali. :-0 you'd think half the us was made up of calfornia @.@! Did your hornworms leave a cocoon behind when it hatched? I had one single hornworm in pupae (the other 4 died) and one day I checked...

They're so cute!!!!

Where do you get your vines and branches from? How do you drain the water? I always have problems with this. Even though I have holes in the bottoms of my cage, there's always water building up. I really love this setup. Makes Me want to move stuff around..

Does the vet charge for a walk in on each chameleon if you bring more than one in? Or is it one rate? I'd like to get the poop tested for 2 of my chameleons, their poop has a very fowl smell.

Would you suggest throwing them in the fridge for a few days then taking them out? Or maybe putting the eggs above a warm light or on a heating pad?

The one I checked was a regular 5.0 reptisun bulb with a regular (not sure what they're called) fixture. The one that isn't a tube. The only tube fixture I have is setup on my panther males cage. I thought tube fixtures had to be 12 inches away from the cage? I checked the UVB on my tube...

Some of my eggs are stuck on pieces of paper towel and some are loose. The original eggs came from Coastal silkworms, these eggs are from the coastal silkworm eggs hatching and turning into moths. They are all a dark color gray and have been like this for a long time! (over 3 weeks!) The loose...

I'm a little confused with this meter I purchased. I'm not sure when a UVB bulb is ready to be pitched. If the reading is under 18-20 from 12" down its bad? What if the UVB bulb is closer like 6" away and gives off a higher reading? For example, I took the UVB bulb that sits about 4" away...

Ive seen the ones that flutter their their wings as they walk and are a black color in the egg bin multiple times. The larvae looked like maggots. I guess a fly could have got in there too.. Unless knat larvae look the same? There are both fruit flies and the black color knat looking bugs flying...

Thanks for the comments! I'm going to move the eggs to a cabinet in my kitchen that we rarely use and only check it a few times a month (if possible!) I've been checking them every couple days :eek: I guess I'll see what happens.

I had to move my panther chameleon eggs twice already. The knats keep getting in the bin and laying eggs.. The first time I noticed the larvae, they were already inside one of the eggs. I have about 20 Eggs that look Healthy out of 37. I'm hoping they make it. The person I bought the female...

If you shop on eBay, you can buy Dubia from there in any quantity you want for good prices too! Like 100 extra large (almost adult size) for 20-25$ shipped. I've been thinking of buying some from there since my colony is taking so long to build up. I use a regular heating pad under my dubias...

Silkworm question- 90% of my silkworm eggs turned gray and have yet to hatch. It's been over 3 weeks. Will they ever hatch? Stick bug question- My stick bug eggs keep developing mold. More and more egg tops keep popping off, and slimy goo is sticking out the top of the eggs. Does this mean...

I wonder how much different the weather is in Florida compared to maryland. I'll test the solarmeter out again tomorrow.

Does 172 sound accurate for pointing at the sun, when my weather forecast says its 8 (very high) Reason I ask is because I bought this used, want to make sure it works correctly. Not sure how long they stay accurate

My local weather showed a uv rating of 8 right now. Was wondering what this would be in uw/cm2? I pointed my solarmeter at the sun and showed a rating of 172 uw/cm2 does this sound accurate? I checked my veiled chameleons cages UVB and from his basking branch close to the UVB bulb showed...

Do these work just as well as the newer green 6.2 models? I'm getting the older version. I want to make sure it's going to give me the right reading. & how would I know that it's giving me the right reading? How long do they usually last? Thanks!

My laying bin and plant sit directly on the bottom of the cage and collect a lot of water underneath without making it to the holes that are drilled on the bottom floor. :( What is the best/ cheapest way to lift the plant and laying bin up for better water drainage?

Ahh! Thanks for telling me. :):):) I was worried I wasn't feeding them enough.

Is there a specific amount to put in each day? If they eat it all within 5 hours, should I put more in? Do they keep eating even if they're full?? I've been putting leaves in each of my bins 2-3 times a day now! About 4 hours ago, I put 20+ leaves in each bin of silkworms and the leaves are...
