I started my colony of Blaptica Dubias yesterday. I was curious if at anytime or the shell of the dubia harmful when feeding or are they safe to feed at any stage of their growth.

I just got home with my Calyptratus and I have some questions. If you look at the picture you can tell his veil is sunken in and not pointed like the majorities. Also if you look at the ridgeline of his back it appears to be flattened off without the spikes along the spine. Two inches before...
Good point! I have sprayed for bugs and I know it takes a little time to kill them, I just want to mitigate any vet bills or poisoning my Cham. If you have never had any problems I may rethink it and offer a caught bug sometimes, it does help with variety. Good point about the greens, I am...
I'm not going too. I could catch bugs all day long by my light but I do not know if it has been sprayed or where the bug has been. Around here in Illinois, to save money, instead of cutting the ditches they just spray them now. If a bug was around the ditches I would be feeding the Cham weed...
Rehoming Calyptratus Sunday
I have been reading for awhile before I would take in this Cham and it is my first Cham. RO Water is (reverse osmosis) correct? My small village water may be a problem. It smells like bleach and leaves reddish stains. I do not want to use it, but can I get an...
I plan to have numerous cages and I was wondering if anyone has come across this type of system. The unclogging of any debris from the nozzles is simple enough. Has anyone tried this setup or one similar and found it works great. It appears it worked for him and would be rather inexpensive...

Illinois Laws
Illinois Laws are not really defined but I found this:
Maybe only if you are a pet shop owner?
225 ILCS 605/18.1)
Sec. 18.1. Sale or gift of reptiles and other animals.
•(a) A pet shop shall not sell a reptile, offer a reptile for sale, or offer a reptile as a gift or...
Someone tried telling me that you have to have a license to breed chameleons. Is this true? If so , where does one locate the info to read about licensing. Do stores require one to be a licensed breeder in order to purchase Chams. If anyone can share some infor or link I would appreciate it...
Thank you, I will scratch that idea and find someone with a turtle that can use it. There is a lot of other ingredients in it so I am glad I asked.

I have some left over Tetrafauna ReptoMin (For Aqautic Turtles, Newts, and Frogs) Flooting Food Sticks. I noticed there was Calcium and says D Calcium as ingredients. Can I crushed this up and feed it to my crickets if they will eat it? Could I use too much? Also says as an ingredient...
cages DIY
I am going to do this because you can buy a big roll of screen and large quantity of framing. You can build it to what ever you want. You will get a lot more cages for your money. This is a good 3 or four part demonstration.

When I think about parasites, I did not realize all the ways Chams can get these. I just read they can get them from what we feed them (wild and raised?) and even water. How are ways of preventing the owner from introducing the parasite. I know WC can have them and be spread to others. Also...
I have to ask what do the numbers mean before someone names there chameleon such as 1.2 Veiled 1 parsonii, and what does 0.0.1 mean?, I keep seeing it, is it explaining year and month old. I am new and had to ask!
