So now I'm not sure of my girl's age. At first the previous owner said she was 3 months old when she got her 7 months ago, so I figured 10 months old. In an email to me this week, she said my girl was 6-7 months old when she got her, so now maybe she's 13-14 months old. Anyway, she had laid eggs...

This might interest you. If you pluck off a single leaf and stick it in the dirt in it's own little pot, it will take root and grow into a full plant(of course over time). No need to put it in water until a root shows, just straight into the dirt. Think of it, you could propagate many many...

Thanks. I'm glad I don't need to give it to her. I would hate to freak her out and make her fear me. I really appreciate your advice on this because I was unsure. And thanks to Jannb as well because I understand you were giving me the same advice.

Nothing's wrong, she is very healthy. The previous owner told me she gave this to her. She got her at 3 months, and I thought maybe she was using it because the box says to give it to young chameleons. It's been 45 years since I've had a chameleon, and I never heard of all of the things we seem...

I dusted 5 crickets for my girl this morning, and she ate all 5 within a minute. Obviously the dust doesn't bother her. Now I need to give her a dose of Repta-Boost, and it seems like it might be a real hassle. I can't imagine how I'm going to get her to take medicine from a syringe. So, how...

I think you are pranking the group. Never mind. Somehow the wrong quote came up.

There is a beautiful plant being sold at Walmart and other stores called a ZZ Plant or just a Z Plant. It is really good looking and the claims are that anybody could grow one without killing it, but it could kill your little buddy. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested. The...

The thousand ?!? How many critters do you have?

I see. I have a plastic enclosure, but they must be getting up on the feeding tubes and then gripping onto the air vents in the lid. Since I have them in a secondary container, which is a slippery plastic insert from an old 6 pack cooler, they are unable to get loose in the house. I just cleaned...

Good idea on the hamper. I've seen some very long ones at Ikea that would be great outdoor enclosures. I live in Colorado and our usual humidity is too low to keep a chameleon in an open enclosure for too long. It's usually 3-12% humidity, but thank God we've been having a couple weeks with a...

i put water in a cotton ball immediately after getting them home and I take it out daily to put in a new clean one. I have about 4 of the top gutloads growing in my organic garden, so they are well fed. All I can figure is there just isn't room in the enclosure and the two feeding tubes. I...

Tell me what you use the packing tape for. Is it to capture escapees or is it providing extra space, or what?

I get 100 crickets at a time because the shop I use has a punch card system making it necessary to get 100 at a time. I have a cricket keeper that is supposed to support 120-135 crickets at a time, but there seem to be a lot of dead crickets in the enclosure after a night or two. On the average...

Considering that at any given moment 91% of the households in the world have at least one fly in it, it is impossible to say whether a fly is or is not a danger. Every insect is susceptible to being exposed to some kind of pathogen or parasite, and it is naive of us to believe that just because...

I wonder about the outdoor fly thing myself, but if you could see the disgusting conditions of just about every food source pet shop I've gone into, I have to wonder if maybe the flies from outside are cleaner and healthier than the food from these stores! I realize it's hard to keep a shop...

I would suggest asking a CL seller if you could come by to take a look. Take your cash with you, because money talks. If the guy is asking $10, then take out the $10 pay him and walk away with your roaches. It's when you try to haggle on the phone and get a price set that you seem to be having...

Fluker's sells a product called High Calcium Cricket Diet, which says it provides a vitamin/mineral gut load for my pet. It says that it adds a nutrient rich gut content to the cricket's protein. Would this be sufficient for a chameleon? It seems it would be a lot easier than changing gut load...

I got a Dwarf Fischer's from someone a couple days ago. She is 9 months old and her body is about 4 inches long. The person I got her from said to feed her 5 medium crickets every other day. The cham seems ravenous and seems to like hunting. I put one cricket on a cluster of leaves right below...
