I'm getting close to getting my veiled soon. He'll be about 3 months old. I have about a year old roach colony that is just excessively overpopulated now. I have thousands of adults and it's starting to stink, so I think I'll need to sell some. I guess I'm just wondering how many...

Hello Everyone, I will be in the market for my first veiled in December. I've been preparing for about 2 years now and the time has come. I was originally planning on purchasing from FL Chams. Their recent reputation has been incredibly horrible. They are basically just sending the orders to...

Hi everyone. I'll be getting a veiled chameleon soon and I will most likely be starting with a baby around 3 months old. I do have an extra large reptibreeze that I plan on using, but I have seen several people recommend not starting them out in such a large enclosure. I was suggested even going...

I don't have a cham yet, but will be (hopefully) getting one in December. I am in college in a city that's about 1.5 hours away from home. I make a visit home about once every 3 weeks on weekends, and go home for breaks (summer, thanksgiving, christmas, spring break, etc.). I realize the ideal...

I understand that the calcium can clog up automatic misting systems, however I'll be using a hand pump sprayer and a big dripper to start out. Will regular tap water be ok in this situation?

Does anyone have any experience with crepe myrtle branches used in their set up? They are light, yet sturdy and very smooth branches so I feel like harvesting some branches from my tree would be a good idea. My only concern is that they might be too slippery for my future cham. Does anyone have...

People always ask me why I want one, and I never can give a solid answer. I just think they're really cool. What is everyone's reasons?

The college I go to is an hour away from my home. I will be living at college, but obviously visiting home some weekends, thanksgiving, winter break, etc.. Has anyone gone through this with a chameleon? Would having two cages be a better idea? Transport one back and forth? I need some input here.

I'm going to start breeding crickets soon, however I feel like the crickets you start out with are important for the health of the future generations. Where should I buy the best quality crickets to ensure that the babies are the healthiest and most nutritious they can be?

With summer around the corner, I feel like now is the best time to buy a Mulberry tree. I'm in the Houston area, but I haven't found any nurseries that sell them. Anyone know any good online resources or places in Houston that sell Mulberry trees fit for silkworm consumption?

I originally wanted to breed silkworms for my upcoming chameleon, however after some thought I've realized that mulberry chow/leaves might get annoying to keep buying after a while. What worm has comparable nutrition to silks, can be bred with similar effort, but can eat and grow on regular food...

I have poured hours into research on breeding silkworms, dubias, and crickets and I'm weighing all their pros and cons. I've come to the conclusion that I want to breed silkies, dubias, and buy my crickets. Question on the dubias: The colonies absolutely explode. I'm gonna be getting my little...

I want to be able to feed my little guy some dubias, but can't get over my fear of them. Any tips from some ex-roach haters?

I'm getting a male green veiled soon, hopefully a baby or juvenile. I want to provide everything my little guy needs, and I know variety is a big deal. I'm planning on breeding crickets. Is variety a big deal in the beginning? Also, a question of logistics. I will have my cricket colony going...

Let me start of by saying this is a HUGE cage. Easy set up. Nice looking. Easy access doors in the front. Overall great. I have some Crepe Myrtle trees in my backyard and they broduce excellent branches. (I will clean them properly) No bark, somewhat straight, and various sizes. Then I got to my...

How was your experience? I'm worried about the little guy during the shipping process. I'm planning on getting a baby male veiled at the start of this summer.

I visited my local Petco earlier today to see what kind of feeders they have, and noticed that the chameleons they had for sale actually looked healthy and happy. Is it possible that I could get a good chameleon from a petstore like Petco? I know there's a huge stigma around it. Thoughts?

Considering breeding silkworms, I know the basics, however I'd like a bit more information. I know some people have tricks on how to make the whole process easier and more efficient. Let me know please!

I will be getting a young cham soon, and I'm pretty read up on cricket care and what sizes are acceptable, etc. I realize that they need a varied diet, so I would have to have some kind of worm on hand as well as crickets. What are the life span of worms, can I refrigerate them to keep them from...

Hi all, I'm getting chameleon as soon as I get out of my dorm, which will be May. Perfect timing as Repticon comes to Houston late May, and this is where I was planning on getting him. I haven't decided between a panther and a veiled, however I am leaning more towards a veiled. I want to get...
