You want to retain as much heat from that heat pack as possible. With a gap in the foam your losing a considerable amount of the heat you need and want from that heat pack. Thats why they dont advise poking holes in the box to vent heat or allow air exchange.

I wasnt saying it wasnt imprtant to properly Id the females. I was saying my post was pertaining to males.

They do a better job Id'ing males than we do was what I was saying. I wasnt talking about females. We (in the states) call everything ambanja when we should be trying to differentiate between the different locales.

Seems like everyone over here is so quick to call everything an ambanja or a nosy be. I think it is because they dont know the names and traits of each locale so they assume because its blue bodied its a nosy be or an ambanja because its bars are red or purple. Lee's Ranger looks like a...

The rostral and the anterior head shape looks ambanja.

Buy the heat packs from Tsk supply. They are 40hr packs and are made for shiping. The ones you buy at the sporting goods places are made for hands or feet warmers. Those arent made for shipping and dont last very long. I would ditch the fly container deal. I use either brown paper bags or very...

Nothing wrong with feeding wc bugs. But if you choose to do so I wouldnt feed anything I caught in my yard or a residential setting. Go to a nature preserve or a field out in the country some place near you. Fertilizers and pesticides are a problem in residential areas and you dont want your...

I wouldnt worry so much whether its cb vs wc. I would find the person in your area or on your specific island that has the best reputation for either selling wc's or breeding jacksons. Just find a healthy specimen first and foremost. Since your in Hawaii its not like the wc's your going to be...

You said he had mouth rot. Was he on any antibiotics for that? That could be a factor in his falling and injuring himself. Antibiotics are hard on a chams system. You have to be very diligent in keeping them hydrated during a round of meds. If not they can dehyrate and usually they will have...

I try to only buy cb whenever possible. That said, I have purchased some wc's with mixed results. The males Ive purchased have all acclimatted for me and lived with me for yrs. The females, Ive had good and bad results from. They are much harder in my experience to rehab if they were given less...

Sneezing could also be caused from cricket poo in the cage. Ive heard alot of ppl are allergic to cricket feces. I clean all my cricket bins outside with a water hose to keep from inhaling any feces when doing my bin cleaning.

You can go catch some yourself and wait for them to lay eggs. But stick insects are considered a pest and cannot be bred and shipped across state lines. Big time no-no.

Ive been buying from Armstrong for yrs. Mine usually chirp that I get. I have had a few batches that were quieter than normal but a few would still chirp. I dont think Armstrong has changed to the hybrid crickets they were one of the few large cricket sellers that werent affected by the virus.

Because they are flashy looking and the broad range of colors that are avail in the different locales. Ive been saying for yrs that wc pricing of the less popular and rare chams should go up alot. If a cham is worth more to an exporter or a middle man then that animal is going to receive better...

Around 3 mos old. They are finally hitting that growth spurt Ive been waiting for. Wish it was warm so I could let them get some real sun. Carol- i saw you lost Romeo. Sorry to hear that, I know he was a special cham and you really loved him. He was so flashy, his pictures will be missed...

Thanks man! Yeah Im one of the few that has Raiden blood down here in the lower 48. Drew is the man, he sent Kevin and I some of the nicest falys Ive ever seen in person or on the net. Raiden was one special faly. Rip Raiden.

These are some offspring from Razr. Razr is the offspring of Raiden & Nala from Chameleon Nation. These are going to be the best of the best falys after they color up. I only wish I could get some good pics. They turn dark everytime i get close with the camera.

I had a wc mitsio that wouldnt breed. He never did breed for me. I had him for over 2yrs and he would just look at his female I got him. He mounted her once but never would breed. I did everything you did and more and he just wasnt interested. I even tried putting a male on a nearby tree to get...

You might want to get him checked out by your vet. Has he had any health issues past or present? Any prolapse issues in his past? Just thinking outside the box, not trying to say he has anything wrong.

From my experience with cleaning up wc's using panacur & from speaking with my vet.
