do discoids get that big? it is hard to tell but it is about 2.5in long.

so that shell in there wasnt a canibalized roach after all, but a shedded exo. sweet. i assumed there exo grew with them. they really look cool like that. like some cave roach or something, no pigment except black spot on head.

today i noticed one of the male roaches in my colony turned white. does anyone know what this means? they are dubias.

that is crazy. LOL.

yeah mine does that too. he even let go once with the leg and fell, luckily he caught a vine on the way down. i added more vines after that and havent seen him do it again. mine likes to hang by his tail he allways eats like that. he is like a monkey.

i had a mass epidemic once that turned out to be my hand soap. some anti bacterial soap killes crix(dial foam). they are very sensitive to toxins. if they died on there backs it was most likely toxin. i switched to organic hand soap and bin cleaner. i now have way less unexplained deaths. watch...

zoo med 2.0 and t-rex reptavite are both available in uk. i use reptavite, it works well.

as long as the calcium is sulfer free i think it is alright. repcal is 2.0 calcium to sulfer ratio. as far a the vita, beta carotine derived is the most reccomended. your current supps might be allright. if your cham gets real sun you wont need as much D3, not that you need much anyway. it will...

might be instinct, in nature they are more vulnerable during defacation. maybe a dash off into cover? who knows, mine will go poo from his basking spot then run and hide in fake plants for a few. then back to basking spot. i just thought he was weird, seems he is more normal after all.

i would reccomend raising the temp in the room rather than the enclosure. like a space heater or somthing. it is 17degrees here right now, i use a small space heater with thermostat. it keeps room at 70 and doesnt use much power. higher room temp means less basking light heat to reach desired...

could be patroling, mine patrols constantly. he hardly ever just sits and basks. he did have girlfriend at pet store , he might miss her.

there will be a white powdery discharge from nostrils when they have been over supplemented. also they can become lethargic. i had this problem, we have an above average level of calcium in our water. i was dusting every day. his nostrils started getting white crust, so i cut back to every other...

also do you feed crix more than apples? you should invest in a good dry gutload if you dont allready have one. they are usualy cheap and very diverse in ingredients. i like cricket crack, i got from SSimsswiSS on this sight. apples are great for moisture, but dont have much else as far as nutrition.

i too live in colorado. i use a space heater with thermostat to keep his room around 70 all the time. i use a humidifier it has setting to keep room at 60% this offsets the dryness of the space heater. i have found that if you keep there ambient temp at or higher than 70 they eat better. i had...

finaly got some dubia roaches. they where very easy to inject. i would reccomend them for anyone who has an agressive chameleon. i grabbed it with some x-action tweezers injected into upper abdomen released into cup,it seemed unphased, i then quickly fed off. the ones i used where about 1.75in...

update after all that trouble the stuff(albon) didnt even work. his latest fecal float came up positive. i purchaced a bottle of reptaid the other day just incase. this morning i injected a dubia. it was easier than i thought. he ate it quickly and without too much splatter. i hope this Reptaid...

personaly i clean mine with steam cleaner once a week. once a month i take my veiled out and everything else. soak vines and fake plants in very light water bleach mixture. i remove poo every day and clean tub in bottom of cage. it is easy to clean tub it is removable. when i steam clean i leave...

it is normal. my male veiled is like a pitbull he bites and then starts thrashing around. he hisses constantly. i hand feed him daily, he is not aggresive then but as soon as where done he puffs up and starts hissing again. thats just his personality. i only hold him once a month to super clean...

my roomate angel carries them around the house. she says they remind her of the roach in the movie wall-e. the males flutter there wings when startled, but cant actualy take flight. they will stay on her arm for hours. i think they might even like it. i personaly think it is a little freaky. she...

Great, this time i think you will have alot easier time of it. healthy chams are alot less of a problem. i too got a sick cham from crappy pet store. he was borderline from get go. he did make it (barely) and now still makes me worry. i will never buy from anyone but reputable breeder. It sounds...
