I have a male veiled, Josh, who is close to 8 months old. Until his 3rd shed (when he got his colors) he had a very robust appetite, and would readily take food from my hand. Then he went though that juvenile hormonal 'get the hell away from me' stage. Since then, his appetite has been...

Thank you sooo much... I very much appreciate your prompt response! So it sounds like you're telling me my little boy it turning into a young man. I've never had a teenager before either! I should have guessed it myself, considering this all started just after his colors started coming out...

Hello everyone. I'm starting to get worried about my Little Joshua. In the last couple of weeks he has gotten very restless. He frequently goes up and down the habitat, usually on the screen rather than branches. That wouldn't bother me as much, but when he climbs across the ceiling upside down...

Funny thing... So my Little Josh did a lot of gaping today. I've seen him do it a few times on and off, nothing concernng. But a lot today- so did a google search and found this forum. I checked the temperatures, and everything seemed normal... but I turned off the light right above him, and...

Greetings folks, I live in Washington State. We had sun yesterday so I took the opportunity to mow. While mowing, I noticed all the grasshoppers out, and knowing how quickly fall with come in, I decided to go ahead and catch some. My "Little Josh" (formerly known as Bitzy) is way too small to...

Greetings, Maybe it was on a different site, but I could have sworn that about a month ago I found a link in this area that led to a page that had a whole bunch of different insects (more than just the standard crickets and worms) and what their nutitional value is. Today I can only find the...

I'll give you my two cents, but am by no means an expert at crickets, at which I have had mixed success. I have had incredible success with Superworms and they are the easiest. They don't pupate unless you force them too, so the shelf life is excellent. I've had them live a year or longer. Even...

Wow, okay, so success first time out, that's a great track record. I'm guessing, btw that the "peeled" is primarily because of all the heavy waxes that stores put on cukes.

Checking in again with an update. It's a boy! Hurray! He's finally gotten big enough to see his itsy Bitzy tarsal spurs. He shed on Saturday, finished on Sunday (tail and feet), and showed polka-dots for the first time. Wow. This raising from a youngun is so different than taking in a rescue. So...

I have a little baby that I'd like to train up right to include some veggies. How did you get him started? What age? What Veggies first? How did you prep them and how did you present them?

I only bought "butters" at a local pet store once- they looked a lot like wax worms, except the color was different. My female had no interest in them at all. But my little baby boy might- another month or so they might be a good size for him. What do these butter worms turn into? I was scared...

What kind of emergency back for heat up do folks use in the event that power goes out in winter? For my fish tanks I have those muscle ache heat pads that can be wrapped around tanks. Last week we lost power one morning (rare actually), but it really got my heart rate going thinking about what...

Oh My, younger... Wow JannB, based on these photos, I would have to guess my little Bitzy is under a month old. Just in the last few days has his (I think) little casque started showing a little more ridge, and it isn't anything like your 4 week olds. Also, there is just a smallest hint of a...

Yes, so far very good poop! And yes, have the two kinds of powered vitamins, and a good lighting situation. Thanks for the advice. Do you breed your own Silks and Horn worms? The one pet store nearby carries them occasssionally, but very rarely do I feel comfortable buying them, there's...

Greetings all, I am new to this Forum. 2 Weeks ago tomorrow I visited a Pet Store and came home with a baby Veiled Cham. OMG! I wasn’t really in the market, but this thing was so tiny I just couldn’t live with the idea of some 12 year old buying it. :eek: The Woman at the store said she had...
