I no longer use Reashy.
I use Pangea, exclusively, for my gecko diet. The feeding response from Pangea is the main reason.
My animals never seemed to respond well to Repashy.
Just my 2cents....
You don't need a light for your cricket bin.
Personally, I go through about 200 crickets a week between my chameleons and geckos.
When I feed the last crickets, in the morning, I get more the same day after cleaning out the bin.
The best thing you can do for your chameleons and...
Agreed on the large sterilite bins to house your feeder crickets.
Also, when cleaning my cricket containers, I dump the cricket poo into my rose bushes in the garden. The roses seem to like this as I have many more flowers this year than I've ever had.
Just my observation....:)
This is a very interesting topic.
Do I understand correctly that the snails are to be fed, complete with shell? I would hesitate to feed a large adult snail as I would worry the cham could choke on pieces of shell.
I see many have fed their Jacksons, Parsons and other montane species...
My female Panther has this same issue and she hasn't gotten better with her tongue, despite trying a vitamin A treatment. I bought a hanging feeder to put her crickets into. She will eat the crickets from there, very well. But, she misses much more than she connects on the free range crickets...
Thanks for the compliments!
He is good looking, but still has a bad attitude. :mad:
I expect he will calm down, soon enough. He is still young at 6.5 months old.
I have not been able to find a current source for silkworms. Everywhere I look, they seem to be out of stock or only offering eggs for sale.
Does anyone know where they might be currently available?
Thanks!
I'm guessing I feed about 250 crickets per month. I feed about the same number of dubia roaches too. Also, I feed about 100 superworms in a month. I also feed some silkworms, if I can get them. This is the total number of insects I feed all of my reptiles.

Try a slice of sweet potato. I give this to my superworms, along with other veggies, and only the skin is left from that the next day. They seem to devour sweet potato.
I am constantly removing ficus trees from my chams cages due to leaf dropping, root rot, fungus gnats, etc.
However, I never have ANY issues with pothos.
Great idea, here. I'm going out on a mission to find a big pothos!
You've come to the right place for advice on raising healthy chameleons. This forum is a great community full of people who genuinely love these animals.
First, I would separate your chameleons. I suspect that the reason why one of your animals is shy is because the other may be...
It looks like there might be some pieces of skin left over from the most recent shed. Just make sure you keep your cham well hydrated. If he/she is not getting enough water, you may notice the eyes sinking in to the head a bit.
