I'm sure you've taken that vacation by now. Maybe you could tell us all what worked and what didn't. That would help others plan in the future. Above all though, you pointed out one very important thing. When you commit to a pet or a tamed friend, you become responsible for that animal's upkeep...

So did you use the powder to dust your bugs, or did you administer it some other way? I put just a little bit on a paper plate and held the plate upclose to my cham. She came over and popped her tongue right into the powder and then took a few swallows and tongue movements to get it all...

I was curious about whether crickets would chew on the edges of a common calcium source, a chicken eggshell. I cracked some eggs for breakfast, and after eating the eggs, I washed the shells under warm water to remove all of the egg remnants, leaving nothing but clean dry eggshells. I dropped...

My girl is laying eggs for the second time ever, but it's the first time since I got her. You think your girl is laying strange, mine has been laying for 5 days as of today. She is a Dwarf, and her normal clutch is supposed to be around 12 eggs. She laid one on day one, 2 on day two, 3 on day...

Maybe this sounds like I'm being anal or acting like a clean freak, because I'm certainly not, but I clean out the cricket box every 3-4 days. I have 2 boxes, and I have an old insert from a nylon beer cooler that I can pour the living crickets into while I clean out the dirty cricket box...

My little girl (Dwarf Fischers) was skittish until about a week and a half ago. My grandson (16) came by with my daughter. The cham has always been drawn to my daughter's voice, maybe because her former owner was a woman, but when my grandson walked by, my girl was following him back and forth...

I gutload with a variety of fresh veggies from my garden, and I amazed that small crickets (< 1/2") eat some veggies completely. I use carrots, green beans, collards, alfalfa, and apples. I also drop in a Flukers Orange each day. If I bring home any other fruits or veggies I'll add some of them...

I let my Dwarf Fischers go free range every now and then. Recently I noticed she was biting the calcium buildup from the edge of a flower pot. I freaked out a little and pulled her away and put her back in her enclosure. I was worried she would get either too much or too big of a piece. Then I...

OK. The admin added the Albums to my profile so now I can show a photo of this setup. I put arrows on the picture to show the drip tube which comes in from the top screen and then the pint jar, which I put on the plant. I have a screen cover over the substrate (dirt) of the planter, so my cham...

Of or pertaining to my little dragon, Littlefoot.

I just spent the last two days building an outdoor enclosure for my little Dwarf Fischers, It's 1/2 inch hardware cloth which I stitched together to make a perfectly smooth seam. It's about 28" tall and round with a 15 1/2 diameter. Anyway, she seemed very much upset by me taking her outside and...

50 lb. or whatever, it seems like there will be plenty for at least a little while. :) So drcrossfire, I see you're from Woodstock. I grew up in Waukegan. We would go to Woodstock during the summer and rent horses by the hour. The hands there would saddle up the horse, and we would get the...

I use distilled water in the fogger. I have a Little Dripper which I fill with filtered tap water - with minerals added. It's a PUR faucet filter and their mineral filter, which puts some minerals back into the water that is delivered from the filter on the end of the tap. I also spray with that...

I bought Butterworms at Walmart in the sporting goods department. They are best kept in the refrigerator so they will live longer, and they are in the fridge at Walmart. They come in a sawdust, and that is their food. You will know they are fresh based upon the web or silk within the sawdust. If...

Worms are great, but they could spoil your chameleon. I have recently been giving my Dwarf Fishers some medium Superworms because the shop I get crickets from was out of medium size cricks. What he gave me instead was about 130 very small cricks, anywhere from 1/8" to just over 1/4". Since they...

I would love to post some pics, but when I try to open an Album to add some photos - it isn't there. I followed the instructions to add images into my profile, and it says to click on Add Album, but it isn't there to click. I don't know if it's because my account is new or what, but I don't seem...

I sprout seeds on a daily basis so I always have fresh sprouts. While I was setting up a jar for a new batch (It takes 3 days from seeds to sprouts.) I had a brain storm. I have a Zoo Med 79 ounce The Little Dripper. I was having to only use it every 6 days or so, otherwise it was overfeeding my...
