hornworms grow like monsters though, wont be long before they are to big to feed off. Though again the color seems to make them ... enticing i guess .. gross to me lol, fat fleshy beasts :eek: good for hydration.

rofl if its feet thats not a cage .. its called a room! :p

i think the two healthiest worms would prob be butterworms or silkworms since mine isnt to thrilled with worms either i have some butters because you can just stick um in the fridge .. makes them convenient to take one or two out and try. and they brighter color, might entice him ...

many if not most wont go for fruit and veg from what iv read so your lucky if you get him/her to go for it. i dont know about fruit and veg as a main part of theyre diet though. Thought it was mostly just something they do for moisture. dandelion greens are a good leafy green to try...

lol i wish mine loved me that much :( makes me wonder what kinda creatures 10x his size he'd try to eat if her were in the wild rofl

stuck a butterworm in his mouth the other day when he was trying to bite me .. he ate it ... hopefully he dosent think he got a piece of me an likes the way i taste O_o

my veiled bites the sh*t outa me every time i take him outside or something .. some are just vicious. Good thing im thick skinned lol i just let him have at it, they are usually less bitey after you get them out of there "territory" mine seems to love crickets and dubia above all else to...

Some people only understand $, sadly it may take them killing them and losing some before they get the hint. When i bought my cham from a pet store i had to work hard to convince them to let me buy it lol but it made me feel good that they care for the animal enough to do that. i can see...

some chams wont eat fruits and vegetables at all. Mine wont. either way you cant feed them primarily fruit/veg .. if you have no other option try making some bug traps, and catching bugs. theirs plenty of threads on how to make pitfall traps and fly traps.

mine is getting way to big for doing this at like 7 mo! lol he dosent do it very often .. but today i caught him hanging by 1 hand off of my rain system on the ceiling of his cage! i watched him kinda like .. wtf are you doing .. he did a few pull ups and got his feet back up there lol he...

60 watt may be fine .. if you can get the right temp at the basking spot. its true those compact florescents don't produce much if any heat. no need for the red bulb save it for the dubia everyone will eventually convince you to raise :P i bought one of those misters to and mine really...

stick insects (phasmids) i have wanted to try them for a while but they illegal to cause they just like poop out eggs once they mature. Dont need to breed ... i have read that they are very well liked.

Walking Sticks!! if you can find them lol darn laws :mad: silks are a good regular feeder aren't they? not as much fat as other worms.

i made my own rain system, works great! i dont have the $ for a mister right now. But when i was looking i was going to go with the monsoon, and your right it was pure aesthetic appeal lol. It just seemd more ... convenient and it looked cool lol. But reading this has defiantly changed my...

my guy dosent like dubia out of his cup (they dont move much, just look like a lump of dirt lol) but he loves um if i let them crawl around on the branches.

one of those things where .. you maybe can get by with $300 .. but then oh man that big ficus would look so cool in my cage! and oh now i need some live vines i bet he'd love that big pothos! Then oh now i need another grow light, and it sure would be nice if i had an automatic mister so i dont...

lol i feel ya, i used to have a reef aquarium myself. Its def not like owning a hamster. But i still have thousands worth of reef shit sitting around and killed more $ worth of coral there than iv spent on my new hobby :)

You will need a cage bigger than that 28" x 16.5" x 30" eventually anyway, better to just start off with it and not have to buy another later. Looks like a cheap stick on thermometer, you prob want a digital one with a sensor you can put at the basking spot. that cage is 65$ on there...

I recently started a colony (new to the roaches to), you wont regret it. They dont smell, and are so easy! they've been in the same container for over a month without cleaning and still just smells like coconut fiber! They are pretty slow and cant climb so you dont have to worry about...

I have seen some pretty terrible pet store cham conditions and seen so many stories on here. awesome to see someone with the power to do something, go get um for everyone hehe.
