Yeah, that's why it was suggested I look on eBay. They have a few sellers from Florida where I live. Thanks for the warning though.

Is he going to the bathroom around it? Or is he plugged up? I'd try vasoline or KY jelly to keep it moist. Maybe it will soften it. If you can't gently get it out I'd head to the vet tomorrow.

Your juvenile might only eat one silk or hornworm at a time. When I first got them I assumed my Cham would eat as many as crickets. He's 7 months an unless the worms are tiny he still eats one at a time. Hornworms will grow very fast. If kept at room temp they will be too large to fed in a week...

Ok, I guess I'll try that. I'd hate to breed them for months only to find my guy won't eat them.

About overwatering the orchid. The plastic wrap might suffocate the roots eventually. I've kept orchids for years and they are misted for watering. If yours has soil that's odd. I'd remove the soil and just bunch up a little sphagnum moss to hold a little moisture around the roots. You could...

I went to look on eBay. I noticed a few sellers selling babies. What do you think about getting those and feeding right away? I'd like to see if my panther will eat them before having a colony? Do you think it's really risky and I should wait until I get babies of my own that have been hatched...

I've wanted to put an orchid in also. I was afraid to sink it in soapy water. How did you clean it?

I've wondered about this too.

I heard pygmys will live together but I don't have any personal experience.

I read someone else suggest to bake the soil so anything in it dies. I've never tried this because I haven't purchased any new plants but it makes sense.

Few more things. You said this is a classroom pet. If you are using a hand mister you must take him home over the weekend. I would also zone in on a male. Females are quite a bit more work with the egg laying. they don't live as long and can have some nutrient differences when gravid. I don't...

The most common supplement schedule I've seen is Calcium without d3 at every feeding Calcium with d3 2 x per month Multivitamin. 2x per month Not to be given together. When you use the multivitamin you skip the calcium that day. Also when dusting do so lightly. The feeders should not be...

How about a video of it when it's all installed and working. I'd love to see how it works.

That's a good list above. My only addition would be that the heat bulb he's talking about is a regular lightbulb not the one from the pet store. Reptile heat lights are priced much higher just because it has a picture of a lizard on the box. When you get down to buying a mister I'd try climist...

I just wanted to add. Calcium daily, calcium with d3 2x per month not every week and a multivitamin 2x per month. I also agree with more horizontal branches.

I don't want you to feel like everyone is trying to discourage you. We see a lot of unprepared owners that equal a lot of dead or dying chameleons. They are not difficult to care for but if you miss something it is devastating to your animal. I'd like to second Jannb by suggesting you...

Thank you. I'll try that.

Try butterworms. My guy runs to the door when I hold out one of these. You keep them in the fridge and you don't have to feed them. That being said, they are a treat item, not for everyday. They are high in calcium but also high in fat so I offer them once or twice a week for my 7 month old. Try...

Sounds like a great enclosure. For the lighting I would go to "light your Reptiles". I don't have a veiled so I won't comment on what type of light but the owner Todd will be extremely helpful. I just wanted to let you know I purchased a Climist mister for 99$ From Coastal Silkworms, it is the...

Niles bio and snails in the mail are the only two places I've found them. You need a permit to have them shipped to you. I'd love to buy some from someone in Florida. Then it's not illegal to ship. If anyone has any they would like to sell in Florida please PM me. I'd also take a drive to...
