Hey guys,
So here is my concept so far. Still needs some love and I need to figure out the exact type of motor this thing would require. For all you engineer types would you recommend some kind of rotary switch of some type?
All It requires is some kind of incremental rotation of sorts...
Brassaxe I like the idea of using compressed air to extract the feeders however it seems like having an open compartment for all feeders would leave room for way too many variables. For example say the compressor blows and no feeders are in the compressors path to blow them out? Or all of them...
Thanks for the thoughts RUfi0. The more I think about this contraption the more I realize it could very potentially be utilized by neglectful people to get out of their responsibilities as a cham owner. So Ive been waiting for the response from this forum to dictate pursuing this idea any...
Thanks for the tips everybody. I guess it's the price we pay right? Maybe I'll just relocate to a warmer climate? This hobby gets more and more pricey/worth it...
Sorry to hear about your veiled absolutbill. So your concern is that the calcium and multi vitamin dust would fall off of the bugs by the time they were dispensed with by the device? That is a very valid concern. I guess one would have to add extra dust or even leave a small layer of dust in the...
Yeah I think everyone whose owned a cham has thought up something like this LOL. The prototype I'm gonna test will work great for Crickets and roaches but I agree about the worms; They are another ballgame. The plastic compartments would have to be completely frictionless and even then who knows...
Hey awesome people! I'm sure this has been mentioned several times but with my experience in prototyping I truly have the opportunity to make something helpful but on the other hand don't want any wasted effort. With that being said I have come to you (the EXPERTS) for help!

OK here is another of my heroes; sire SUPERNOVA from screameleons! I've been working with the printing services like crazy to get one of these printed and the model is getting very close! Hoping to send it off by Friday and I'll post pics of the print asap.
Anyone want to pitch which one...
what a beaut! ive sent off the jacksons model to the printshop and im waiting to here back if the model meets the minimum specs for the color printer. hopefully ill here back today and get it back by the end of the week! ill keep yall posted!
Thanks lilBlue for the compliments! I agree 100% with your input about these paying homage to the ones that have passed. I had a 4 month old ambilobe pass away a year ago that I plan on making one of at some point.
Here's another shot of the Panther from behind. Ambanja is up next. Any other requests? Maybe some Parsons or pygmys?
FYI these pictures are getting horribly compressed and resized....Is there any way around this?
Decadancin that is one gorgeous veiled! Thanks a bunch to all for your photo reference and PLEASE keep them coming!!!
Excited for monday once I actually get some pricing on prints!
OK guys! Here's another of the beautiful sire "Bolt" from canvaschams.com.(I hope they're ok with me posting this) I think this chameleon is absolutely gorgeous and very much hope to get one of his babies one day (forgive the shameless plug)!
And sadly yes the hornworm gets eaten again...
