Hey Piglet,
Can you please tell me how I can raise hornworms?
I see you have quite the setup for feeders.
I can get them for free from an organic farm but Olympia said that they are tainted if they ate tomatoes but OK for starting a colony.
Your thoughts on this?
Thanks Olympia!
If they did not eat tomatoes they would be OK?
I can ask that he only gives me the worms that he gets out of the non-tomato garden.
Also if I choose just to start a breeding colony, how hard are they to raise?
I have never bred or raised any feeders before but I like that I...
Army worms -1. A lepidopterous insect, which in the larval state often travels in great multitudes from field to field, destroying grass, grain, and other crops. The common army worm of the northern United States is Leucania unipuncta. The name is often applied to other related species, as the...
What are the plants attached to? I saw someone recently made a wall hanging similar to this. He said his cham lived in it all the time / No cage.
He is selling it that's where I saw the photo..
Your's should look really nice once inside the cage.
First - Thanks for freeing him from that pet shop hell.
Second I love this photo. His eyes say it all.
My 5 month old ambilobe male Memphis loves to be out of his cage. Granted he lives like a king in there. The biggest the best, yet he will climb the door over and over if he sees me, until you...
Hi leaf,
Yee i don't know Olive, but I have my own sociopath.
He is the only chameleon that has ever bitten me and yes it hurt and drew blood.
I have resigned myself to handle him with care as if he gets frightened he may bite. That is his nature. However the rest of my chams are as gentle...
Yeah they can bite and it does hurt if they do by accident.
They do have sharp teeth, but they are gentle and don't mean to hurt us.
As all my chams love to be held. I never fear them nor they I.
Realize how nice it is that we have cultured a friendship with this wild reptile.
Kind of amazing if...
So happy for you. : )
I just had my prize female lay 21 eggs.
I can't wait to be in your shoes in about 10 months. ( or sooner)
Please do take photos of the little guys when you can.
Hey Pigglet,
Like your idea too. I use a 75 w halogen bulb from GE It looks just like a regular lightbulb but throws a lot of heat and white light.
As a matter of fact I got Jungle LED bars from Todd at LightYour Reptile ( wonderful guy! ) to use for the summer months since these halogen give...
Oh Flux,
What a wealth of knowledge you are. thanks so much.
You certainly have been doing this for a lot longer than some on this forum, back when keeping chameleons was new.
I have spent most of tonight trying to find others research on this temp questions. Most have just said this is...
