sweet! thanks! Finally gonna get something outta these chirpy mofos lol!

What a Cutey :)

I'm so jealous of your roaches btw. I live in Canada where they're completely illegal. It's poo.. I know Mr.Pink would love them. I'm also having a hard time with blue bottle fly colonies. Might be laws against those too... :/

Nope. I just throw them in the cricket bin, usually on top of the dry stuff (which soaks up any excess water that might pool and drown your insects). I usually keep 200 - 500 crickets at any given time, so our food tray is bigger than most, and I have the space to have a wet/dry side.

Thanks you two :) My husband and I built this cage - well everything except the dining room table it sits on. I documented the whole process if you wanna check it out https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-cage-build-124285/

I blend up all of my wet gutload (butternut squash, carrots, oranges, dandelion greens, etc) and freeze it in ice cube trays. Both my crickets and hornworms love it! I'm not a dietitian by any means, but telling by my hornworms rapid growth - they're getting the nutrients still. I like...

Looking better, but it can really help to have a live plant in there. When it comes to foliage, the more the merrier. I also don't see a UVB bulb. Those are very important, unless you allow your chameleon to have access to real sunlight outside for a large portion of the day. When...

My cutey monkey Mr.Pink LOVES strawberries. He loves them so much he'll take them right out of my hand with his nemesis, the camera, in his face the whole time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqiPwFev5I

title pretty much sums it up. Trying to breed some crickets in some organic potting soil. will they lay eggs in this or am I wasting my time?

She's in good hands as is, but I feel bad for her. She doesn't like to be on display one bit, but is pretty docile when it comes to handling. I even saw a couple people look right into her cage and couldn't find her. Makes her chances of being adopted decrease quite a bit.... didn't help that...

I went to my local reptile store where they had a rescued veiled up for adoption. She got MBD at a young age. It's been caught, and is no longer progressing, but it is evident. Both of her front legs have a slight curve to them, however she is able to climb with ease. Unfortunately this...

Aren't you worried about the fiber rotting over time?

I personally have two types of gutload - dry and wet. They are both a mix of nutritious stuff. Dry: Oat flour Dried Kelp Sesame seeds bee pollen Wet (blended together and frozen for convenience): Dandelion greens orange collard greens butternut squash carrots I also mix in a...

When it comes to veiled chameleons you have to make sure his cage is setup properly - a bad cage is just as bad as him not eating / drinking. Glass is bad in most cases - it's difficult to find a glass cage that is big enough for a veiled, and glass terrariums are difficult to acclimatize to...

I had a ballast that would cut out randomly. After replacing the bulb - it didn't help. I would have to turn the light back on every time this happened. I got a larger ballast from the same brand - Zoo med, and I haven't had the problem. If you tried two ballasts, it's most likely the bulb...

Well that's a neat idea.

Lol it's close! We just got hit with another crappy storm. The day before it was like 6*C which is like shorts and t-shirt weather here.

Mr.Pink, like all of us here in Canada, can't wait until the warm weather is back!

Jealous :p

Most chams love a good warm mist. But you don't have to heat the water, room temp is fine :) Keeping water warm aids in bacteria growth, so if you're going to heat the water I would clean the reservoir every couple days.
