Thanks it's worth a shot, cause I prefer to mix up my feeders with dubia, crickets and supers. I'll reach out and see what he says

Yeah, I've been trying to weigh my options... I definitely want to get my little one eating dubias too, but I noticed some weight loss and I was concerned cause he didn't eat for 3 days. I've tried several different size roaches and free ranged them along with cup feed and he wouldn't touch...

Not that I'm aware of... If anyone else knows, PLEASE let me know! All I know about are Petsmart and Petco's that charge $.14 each with no discount on large quantities (1000 crickets = $140+tax).

I don't have any relatives that live near me. I tried having them held at a local facility, but the facility said its against there policy to accept "pests" and refused to do it.

Yes, I have my dubia colony going pretty good, and 2 of my 3 guys eat them fine, but my one little guy just refuses no matter what I do! The one thing he will eat is the supers. I've only tried Crickets, Dubias, Supers, Waxworms, and mealworms (once). I was considering silkworms though

Yes, I do gutload my supers with a pre-made gutload and fruits and veggies. As far as usps, that's how I have to have dubias and supers delivered to me. Fedex is what gives me the problems. I live in a gated community (country club) and the all packages have to go through our front gate...

So, going forward, I'm unable to get anymore crickets as feeders as I've had some issues with not getting them delivered from several different suppliers and NONE of my local fedex facilities will accept live crickets to hold for me! I have my dubia colony going good, 2 of my chams eat them with...

One thing I've always wondered about with free range cages is what about the chams poop? Do you just let it fall on the ground? lol

My juvi male oustalets did good together for a little bit but then did start becoming aggressive so I did seperate them. I know somebody on these forums told me in Florida he documented several males/females living in very close proximity, basically a group living together in the same tree with...

A little off the topic, but do you think that a Furcifer Verrocosus and Furcifer Oustaleti would produce viable offspring? I kind of wondered cause I have oustalets and I know verrocosus are a little more colorful, would be interesting...

No substrate is needed. The more adults the better for getting started. It also depends on how many you will be feeding. I personally have 3 chams I'm feeding and I started my colony with 100 mixed nymphs and then 50+ adult females and 50+ adult males. I keep mine in a rubber 30 gallon tub and...

I just got rid of the live plants all together. I tried swapping soil and then using sand mixture, nothing would work.

Also, I did try live plants and that did help raise humidity but, I ran into gnat issues and decided to do something different to get optimal humidity

Of course that is an option, but it does get pricey as most larger cages are screen. I've also heard of owners having issues with glass cages. I wanted more of a desert type species that I could basically keep outdoors for about 9 months of the year. With Arizona averages in the 90s-100s I'm...

Humidity issues in Arizona is why I held off on getting a cham for years! Until I found a species that didn't require high levels of it!! I was between Verrocosus and Oustalet's... Ultimately choosing Oustalet's. Mine do great with humidity in the 30% range and I was able to achieve this by...

That's horrible! Of course he would! Why was a baby in the cage with Godzilla in the first place!!:eek:

Yes I have read up on the wil populations in Florida. Apparently they have been there for over a decade with populations in the 100s in some locations. Pretty crazy but it also let us know that they can survive extreme cold and heat plus humidity. I keep my ousties in the high 80s - 90s with...

that's awesome! That is also what I love about my 3 ousties, they are very easy going and very hardy! Best of luck with yours. Post some pics when you get him! Here is a pic of one of my guys.

I have 3 juvi male oustalets. I have them in basically 2x2x4's until they get about 18 months, then I have built 3 different outdoor cages that are just about 4x4x6. The bigger the better is absolutely correct!!

Not to be gross or anything, but I did find this mounting video for Oustalet's and you can see the difference in the males/females. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWBKZnELzOg&feature=related
