well i filled 3 rows in my thing, giving me 18 supers pupating. hopefully that will be enough for the colony because that's basically all i got from the 50 count package. i fed my cham 2 of them to make sure he liked, and i have a few tiny ones in the keeper but yea... not even close to 50...

80-95 in the basking area?? that's too much room for error, it needs to be closer to 85 just in the basking area and cooler in the rest of the cage

well i only have the 65gal now... but i have a flexi climbing vine, 7 fake plants/vines, a croton, a bonsai dracaena, a bonsai bottle palm, a pothos, 2 dendrobium orchids, my auto feeder (similiar to the milk jug) and a seperate cup feeder for mealworms or treats it's a jungle in there... :p

not yet anyway :)

so i can't keep dubias.. .gf won't have roaches in the house :) i read somewhere that somebody was using a kricket keeper to keep thier worms... anyone think superworms would climb up the feeder for me? guess i will find out soon enough, they look kinda squirmy so it may work

i am in the same boat but crickets are such a pain i will chime in and say i wouldn't bother keeping them also... dubias are great, but my gf wont let me have them either so i am focusing on breeding superworms. they are really easy. mealworms too are VERY easy and once a colony is started you...

o, well looks like i will have to go dig out the rest of the larger worms for pupating. thanks :)

as a pro mist owner i wouldn't buy *any* of the auto setups. IMO it's all a ripoff. really, this thread is just incredibly annoying to me, it reads like a damn info-mercial. did he pay you guys for those testimonials?? ? j/k... kinda. if mine wasn't gifted to me i would have went DIY, and...

*bump* :) nobody? i got a box like the ones pictured here : http://www.chameleonsdish.com/insects/breedsuperworms.htm but i have 24 available squares for pupating them. taped over it with black tape to make it dark and put in 6 worms to pupate. should this be ok for starting my...

hey all, i am about to start all my feeder colonies, excluding crickets coz im lazy and dubias coz the gf won't tolerate them- so i have mealworms and waxworms, and now am about to start up superworms also. i did the homework on raising them but i just wanted to hear back from any experienced...

yea i am all for it as long as people properly document what the cross actually is... sadly that's not always the case

http://www.acu-market.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SE can comething like this be used as part of a gutloading program? i was only thinking because i have some layin around here and it is a barley grass and spirulina flake base... was thinkin it could be used in part with traditional gutload or...

there are also plans, i think on chameleonnews maybe that detail making a system just like this with the hand pump garden mister as a base and some kind of inline irrigation controller as the the timer for making it automatic

temperature is alright, between all the bulbs the basking spot goes from 84-87. now its 87 with the bulb 6 in away... if the bulb were as close to the screen as my other ones it goes up to 95 :eek: could it also have something to do with the amount of UVA? i am sure this halogen probably puts...

that helps put in in perspective a bit. thanks :) but under a incandescent bulb he will spend most of his time totally brown, tried the 60w and the 100w right on top of the screen. with my current lamp he is mostly showing his relaxed colors and sometimes he gets just very slightly darker...

maybe i am just crazy, but i have tried a number of different basking bulbs for my cham (~6mo. vieled male, 4-5in. svl) from plain household bulb to the 'blue' basking bulb, halogen, everything but the combined UV / heat bulbs. right now i am using a 50w zoomed halogen basking bulb, i have it...

i can see what he is sayin. awesome pics / animals you got there, and as i was lookin at uncle sam i was thinkin the same thing like that doesn't resemble any ambilobe i have ever seen. not that i have seen thousands or anything ;) ... but he does resemble some morph crosses that i was lookin...

use collards. lettuce is basically nothing but water. are you getting the 'reptile lunch box' things with the green ball inside? if so that thing is for moisture and not so much a gutload.

all of the above :p

i would not recommend anyone buy this thing. it definately was not the re cutting, my re cut was essentially useless... it was perfectly flat the first time, i have no idea why i cut it again because there was no difference at all in the way the line looked when i put it back the second time...
