Thanks everyone.....
I just realized that being outside excited him alot. Two of the pictures showing his underside shows a hint of spermplug LOL. :eek:
The only time you need moist substrate is when they are adults you want them to lay eggs. Other than that, you do not need any substate at all....just egg cartons or empty paper towel rolls to climb on.
I can't neglect my other boy....he is approx a year old.
I was told he was an Ambilobe, I am still not sure. Also check out his Black Barring.
He is the most active one in the bunch....constantly moving, like a 2 year old.
No, he is too mellow, except when I show him one of my females. But then he is too preoccupied to pose. Here is a sleeping color shot of him (after a shed). He gets even more yellow when he sees the girls.:D
This is my 15 month old Ambilobe, chillin' in the guava tree. I am assuming that guava is safe. I have seen a lot of pictures from Hawaii with Jacksons in guava trees, both wild and captive. Tell me if I am wrong.
The Bulb wattage used for heating really depends on your ambient temperature and the distance that bulb is to the top most basking area.
The best thing to do is to invest in a thermometer with a remote sensor (fairly cheap at Walmart). And monitor the temp. Adjust the distance and wattage...
I have seen bowls used to catch the excess water from drippers, they use a screen on top of the bowl to keep chameleons and feeders from getting to the water. IMO as long as you change the water out everyday, clean the container thoroughly and use a screen, it should be safe.
Very nice....I saw your original version a while back. I wish I had the skills to do this....my joints would never line up and I would have a leaky mess.
I have had Dubias for at least 5 months now and I can only get one of my girls to eat it. I only feed off the male Dubias in the cages. I keep the females and nymphs safely in there container, so if there is an escape from the cages, I won't have any breeding.
Is there any trick to get my...
I use a large deli cup with a lid. You can use a Big Gulp cup too. I just put the insects in the cup, sprinkle some calcium and swirl around like you are cooling off your drink with ice cubes. It seems hard on the bugs, but I haven't killed on yet.
If that is the only criteria, then most definitely Calm. It would make cleaning cages easier and moving out for some sun a lot less painful (for me).
Now if I was in that underground chameleon fight club, it would be a different story....:D
