There are insect/spider traps called "blueboards" that have adhesive surface for trapping insects... They are available at home depot. You can get one, cut it to a small size, put it at the bottom of the enclosure and cover it so that your cham won't come in contact with it, but the crickets...
Thanks so much, you guys! I'm sooo nervous that I'll screw up the eggs so I'm not dancing for joy just yet...
Kent, this is my first clutch of womas. I raised this pair from little babies and this is their first season breeding.
Thanks again!
Damn that sucks! Keep him nice and hot... High temps boost the effectiveness of veiled's immune systems and will give him the best shot at survival. Cooler temps will be a death sentence for sure...
Good luck, man.
It hasn't been too long, Debby. I keep solid records and I could look up for you how long it was from mating to egg laying for each of my clutches, but I wouldn't worry about it...
My philosophy is to just give them everything they need (in your case a suitable egg laying site INSIDE the...
Ok 60 watts is pretty low. The shape of that black mark just looked like the pattern that a lightbulb would throw on the side of him.
Anyhow, sorry for your loss.
You should try to make it down to denver for the May 10th reptile show. There will definately be several people selling their...
Well, I have to ask what wattage the bulb is that you are using for the basking source?...
I know you said the basking temps are only in the 80's but that looks like a burn to me. Don't get me wrong, you shouldn't be keeping him on substrate like that, but I don't think that chameleon...

Here is the report we submitted that summarizes our results.

Thanks for looking!

It's ok to have high humidity levels as long as you have good air flow. Since you're using a mesh cage you should be fine. Keepers in Florida do very well with veileds outside and down there it's hot an humid nearly all year and they thrive, but only when they have a steady source of nice fresh...
For the record, when I said a "drip system" I didn't necessarily mean one of those automatic machines that you put inside (or outside) the enclosure. I just use a big clear deli cup with a pinhole poked in the bottom. Then I can fill it up twice a day and walk away. It drips about once each...
