    Fruit Flies in Plants

    Yesterday I noticed a few FF's in the cage, and today when feeding Marty, it seems like there were more and they were concentrated around the soil on my schefflera. Any tips on how to eradicate them?

    crix escaping!! help

    I used to have the same problem, and was unable to figure out how the kept getting out. They have an amazing ability to fit through ANY crack. What I did was put tape over every hole and then just poked little holes through the tape with a pin to allow for air flow. This solved the problem.

    Maggots from trash

    It's not the parasites I would worry about but the bacteria.

    Maggots from trash

    I also agree. Even if you were to culture the flies, have then lay larva, some of the bacteria may linger, perhaps even prosper.

    Thanks everyone. He ate two crickets yesterday. However, I keep seeing him chew on the schefflera. I thought that wasn't typicaly of panthers? also, when he basks, he get REALLY dark, is that typical for babies?

    My New Guy and Supplementation

    Serenity, you should've his one brother was SOOOO blue and extremely docile. And his other one was starting to show some nice barring aswell. The cup was cricketless around 7 tonight, so either it somehow escaped or he chowed down. He also went to the bathroom. His urates looked a bit...

    So he dangled above the cup, thinking about shooting at the cricket, for about 5 minutes, and he's just been exploring the cage ever since. One peculiar thing i noticed is he bit one of the vines as if he was trying to eat it.

    My New Guy and Supplementation

    Hello everyone. Got back from the reptile show about an hour ago, where I picked up my first chameleon: an ambanja panther. He's about 3.5 months old. The moment I put him in he started drinking. I put a few crickets in a cup, and he has eyed them up, but not eaten them yet. Supplement wise, I...

    Using saline solution..

    Where are you going to get a pure saline solution? I've checked several pharmacies in the past just to have some on hand, and all of the lens cleaners they have aren't pure saline.

    Getting A Chameleon

    Draetish: do you maintain your colony with those foods? Serenity: Thanks for the thought. I appreciate it. Also, after dinner, I cut down the ladder and added it, added another rod and a vine I had. I still may out and get another.

    Getting A Chameleon

    I hope so! I feel like I have a decent grasp of gutload, being that I already have a leopard gecko. My only concern in regards to that(because I hate crickets) is with her I feed her mealies and supers(i know for chams, mealworms sparingly), so with dubia, what do people feed to sustain a colony...

    Getting A Chameleon

    I have a ladder to into there. I just have to cut it to size and I'm not sure exactly where I'm going to place it. I also think I'm going to pick up another vine, once I get my car. It's out of commission for the day. I think I'm going to get either an Ambilobe or Ambanja, I have to speak...

    I don't have the cage set-up yet, but I was anticipating some sort of issues with drainage from the plant and was wondering what other people have come up with.
