in those 2 pics, you definitely have a male / female. I met up with the breeder of my Oustalet's and he showed me some pics of his male and the differences with the females. I didn't want to deal with eggs or anything like that right now, so I went with 3 males. Both of your chams look good...

My roaches do well in the high 80's-90's. I feed them oranges, potatoes, carrots, and kale. Mine personally didn't touch the kale and rarely touch the carrots. Mine will completely destroy a few pieces of potato and a few slices of orange every 2-3 days. I have a smaller colony though with about...

Yes, I can't wait! This guy is very calm and eats from my hand and my son's. I can sit down and watch tv and he will just rest on my leg and won't be scared. He is about 7-8"" now, I know the dad is about 19" so I can' wait to see how big he gets or his other 2 brothers!!

6-7 month old Male Oustalet getting big! That's an adult superworm he is munching down! I love his red on his tail. One of my other males has the same red on the tail and on the dorsal as well.

Hey, your Oustie looks like a female? I have 3 males around 6-7 months and they have never shown those greens? They always have shown white, red, browns? Females have the greens. I think you have a female on your hands! Here is a pic of 2 of my males...

I have great success breeding them but I will say it just takes time! I was literally about to give up and throw away my tub and just feed off my beetles but I looked really closely and saw tons and tons of babies!! That was after about a month of the beetles being in a small tub. I only started...

It all depends on what temps you need. I tried several watt bulbs from 65, 75 95, 100w before I got the right temps I needed.

Mine seem to be doing really well in the 85-90 range. Definitely seeing some little ones now! Mine do like oranges, but they really, really love potatoes and sweet potatoes! They will destroy 3-4 slices every 2-3 days! I have about 200 in a bin.

I'll tell my story. My first cham was a juvi Veiled Chameleon I bought from a large chain pet store about 10 years ago. I followed everything the pet store told me to do and it was horrible. I had a small 40 gallon glass tank with only the uvb light, no other heat source. I was told to feed...

Yeah, I will see what I can do about bumping up the temps. I have another heating pad and I want to try that and see how it goes

Hello, I have started a small colony of Dubia roaches and I have noticed several small 1/8" babies, but my question is around the temps. I have a temp gauge/hygrometer with a probe in the tub I keep them in and the temps I'm getting are in the high 70s to low 80s with humidity in the 40-50s? I...

I use reptiglo's (5.0) for all three of my chams with no problems. There cages are 2x2x4's.

I just went in my yard and one of my older trees that needed a trim, I killed 2 birds with one stone and used those branches. I didn't bake them or anything.

I starting giving my Oustalet's full grown supers around 4 months. I didn't think they would be able to take them down completely, but they literally munched full grown supers with no problem at all!! My chams were about 4" long at that point though.

I actually made one out of a gallon milk jug. I cut the handle side out and then lined the inside with some left over mesh from my cage build and it works perfect. Crickets walk all over it and my Chams will see it and go attack! Search the forums for the famous milk jug cup, that's where I got...

I also put trash bags wrapped around the outsides of the cage to keep my humidity up. By doing that I was able to eliminate live plants from the cage (I kept having gnat problems) and still have optimal humidity. On one of my other indoor cages, I got a shower curtain from the dollar store and...

My guys love the variety I feed which includes, crickets, supers, dubias and occasional waxworms. They will eat and eat and eat all of them. I cup feed the crickets though and they go right up to the cup and feed, they do like to "Hunt" the dubia's and supers. I had mine on only crickets until...

If your gonna order crickets, my personal opinion is to go through LLLreptile. I've tried some other places but nothing compares to them. Prices are cheapest I've found and low losses as well. But, I would also consider breeding Dubia's. I just started and I can definitely say they are much...

I would say give them as many as they will take. I started on all crickets for my little ones (about 5-6 months now). I give them about 10-20 crickets a day, 2-4 supers, and a few dubias and mine are good with that mix. Eventually I want to switch to primarily just dubia's but I would say to try...

I use a milk jug with the handle side cut out and mesh screen lined on the inside. The crickets, dubias, and supers crawl all over it. I attached it to the screen with fishing line. But as far as placement... I put it on the opposite side of the basking spot about 1 foot down from the top and I...
