So out of no where, my sweet little girl has eye issues. It started after her shed a week ago. Started with one eye and now both. When she sleeps, her eyes are getting glued shut with mucus. For the last 2 days I have been gently clearing them with distilled water and a q- tip. Once clear...
So I succeeded a little too well with my first breeding attempt. I used organic potting soil moistened daily and swapped it out for new soil every week for 3 weeks. I then put the containers of soil in a 10 gallon aquarium with a 50 watt heat lamp to incubate the eggs. It has now been about 1...
I had my basking spot way too hot. I kept wondering why she never basked, she was trying not to get baked...
When I checked it with a infrared temp gun a week later, it clocked on at 134 degrees. I teed to cook my Cham :(
Does anyone know of a chameleon podcast? I think it would be a great resource to everyone, and I am sure there are plenty of topics to choose from for discussion.
I totally agree. I don't know if I could have done this without all of the free info here. I have always wanted to adopt a chameleon and after months of trolling all the wise individuals here, I found the courage to add my chameleon to my family. I am now totally in love with her. I am now...
Yes! I already did this for my female's set up. The plant was about 40 inches tall and I cut 1/3 of the roots off and 1/2 of the leaves so I could actually see my girl. The plant is doing great. In fact I pruned it again this week.
I bought another one of similar size to set up for...
This is a schefflera. They are really hard to kill. They get root bound easily. When I get these I pull the pot from the store off and cut 1/3 of the soil/root mass off with a small saw or large bread knife. The roots will grow back just fine. You can also prune it heavily and it can handle it.
I like to let the crickets roam as well. This give my girlie entertainment chasing them for about 1-2 hours. None of them ever survive into night time. She cleans her plate :)
I had the same issue. What you have is fruit flies laying eggs in your cricket keeper. If you have a small keeper, you can fit the entire thing into a gallon size zip lock bag if you remove 1 of the tubes. This keeps the fruit flies out. As long as you are opening the bag 1 - 2 times a day...
I do breed crickets for my chameleon, leopard gecko and beardie. If you keep the humidity low, remove old food, and remove waste, the smell can be reduced. I keep mine in my basement so I do not smell them unless I am right on top of the bins. I think I'd rather deal with crickets than roaches...
