The cleaning of 4 foot or larger plants is tricky but if you are in a house or suburban area, this is what I do. Get a mortar mixing tub, the longest available is about 3 feet. They are usually $10 or less. I once found a sale at this time of year for 3.99. They are handy for so many things...

Channels, yes, that is the better choice of description. Anyway, you know what I meant from reading your response. So these are not of use in anyway? Sounds like insect escape routes to me. The space under the door is a nice design. I have seen another person install tiny computer fans in their...

Chris, Are the bottoms of these enclosure glass? I have seen these at shows and there are some holes along the back for various "attachments", or there was at one time( this was awhile back) so is this what is providing the airflow? Also, how are you handling water drainage? I'm assuming that...

I will not indulge you in this further. I think you'll find that most humidifiers on the market are not for our purposes. They are for the rest of the consuming public and there is hardly any "humidity" to speak of a mere few inches away from their output. The inquiring member will find this out...

Warp, I agree that a humidifier will not substitute for mistings for drinking. I disagree that all humidifiers produce a visible mist or shall I say FOG.

If you need a quick fix for one cage, Bionaire Personal humidifier at BedBath&Beyond is $40 and produces a visible mist. Species please?

Try a couple of roaches and a couple of crickets in one dish. They may target the crickets but may also accidentally hit a roach and discover a new taste for them. Also,the crickets moving will stir the roaches a bit and they will move also. Try a roach in some long forceps. Roaches tend to...

Warrix, To add some species specifics; WATER!!!!!! for this cristatus. They require heavy hydration right from the start as most of their time in transit has not been provided with such. If you have a fine mister head system, you can run it for several hours off and on throughout the day...

Any industrial plastics company will have it and it is called Sintra or PVC foam sheets. Some even have several colors and it is available in 1/8" or 1/4" thickness. The 1/8 is used in these standard cages. Yes, as one said, it comes in 4'x 8' sheets and they will cut it as you need. It is easy...

PB, My worry for you is that he is going to spend all his time in the window and not under his light. Free ranging has the possible( expect it to be probable) issue of them not staying under their lighting enough. Keep an eye on him but his urge to wander will overcome his knowing where the...

Lampshade, I am just across the river in New Jersey but I know all about the city heat. Where exactly are you? Are you in Manhattan or a similar area in Brooklyn or Queens? You may have to find a way to have your chams outside on the fire escape and run an automated mister and keep it...

Cypho, This has happened to a lot of people, although most will never say. I, too have a vast basement and live with an incurable packrat. The Loch Ness Monster could hide here. I have had blatta lats for a couple of years now running loose. I have found that it takes diligence to keep...

This species is extremely shy. Give them privacy.

Are you near and IKEA?

No worries. I takes a lot to really offend me. If you manage to NOT use crickets, it's good for you if you hate them, however, I can see so many newcomers reading this and thinking they can do the same thing. There are always chameleons with favorites and non favorites. I have had chams that...

Since I'm on an opinionated tear this evening, waterfalls, although having moving water, also can harbor unwanted bacteria. Any container with water is prone to bacteria buildup. It cannot possibly provide as much humidity as a good humidifier. Invest in a Venta Sonic. I am sure you will find...

You must be reading my past posts because I said nothing in this one about crickets getting out but have said that before. You are to be commended for not having any escapees in that long of a time period. When you have almost 50 cages in your house, and using the variety that you've listed(...

Keep the orchid away from the heat emitter. Get rid of the waterfall.

Roaches need quite a bit of heat to reproduce and you will need a lot of them to have a sustainable colony. If you are tired of crickets and planning to do away with them, you will need to do away with the keeping of chameleons. The roaches will not multiply fast enough and it is essential to...

Some panthers can take well over a year to fully show color.
