Hmm. I don't think I want to know LOL. :D Ps- definitely don't punish your chameleon for eating leaves... :confused:

Black crickets definitely can attack. I've heard some horror stories. The more common brown type I've left in cages and never had any problems.

I have the same problem with flies. I think they might be fruit flies. I don't know how to get rid of them yet. FYI- the waterfall in your chameleon cage is a bad idea. You can search for other threads on them.

My advice would be "if it ain't broke..." I don't think saline will work as any sort of preventative medicine.

So her eyes were damaged by the bulb, probably causing irreparable damage. I don't think any sort of fluid will repair the damage.

Saline solution- http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_(medicine) It's mostly used for IVs and irrigation of wounds. Anything you buy OTC will be for human use. Unless it's a product for reptile eyes, which you will notice I did suggest. This is why I suggested not using eye drops, the...

Saline solution (if thats what you have) should definitely not be administered to eyes. If you do it will cause a lot of pain. If you have some sort of eye drops, these are formulated for human eyes and again should not be used. There are special eye drops for reptiles, the name eludes me...

At home improvement stores the sell soaker hoses. I can't remember the exact name but it's basically a hose made of water permeable material. Would do exactly what you need. You shouldn't need more pressure than whatever a regular tap puts out either.

You can get a mistking setup for $100. I wouldn't bother with a diy misting system. They aren't expensive enough for it to be worth it.

Make sure you have a ton of egg crates for your crickets and they don't die off so quickly. I give them orange slices and their container smells like oranges! ;P

It's really dry where I live. I put it on almost every hour for a minute with a couple 2-3 minute sprays in the am and afternoon.

I use heavily planted enclosures. My crickets always seem to gravitate to the warmest part of the cage (basking area). Just make sure this is clear and you will be fine.

I like to use a site like photobucket and then embed them in the actual post. Just upload to photobucket, click the share link, and copy the HTML link. You can use the preview function to see your post before actually posting it.

He is very cute! I'm getting some 5 week old chameleons next week. I thought they would be too big for FFs, but I have a few cultures going for my mantids so that will come in handy. May I ask how you are feeding the FFs to him? I want to minimize how many FFs I get all over my house. ;P

Sadly Michael Crichton books while based on some science, are far from reality. For example he was an outspoken critic of global warming.

I agree, however I think it will take a few more years than 2... That said, proven beautiful bloodlines will still command a premium for some time.

Check out FF culturing guides. That one culture can produce an unlimited amount! ;P Edit- also how old is your Cham?

Sounds like too much to me. I supplement every other feeding with calcium. D3 and multivit twice a month.

You'll probably get more responses if you use a relevant subject line. Are you talking about linear or coil bulbs?

I would also suggest giving him daily showers of approx 15-20 minutes. You can search the forums on techniques for doing that. Edit- once you get his hydration fixed you should look at proper supplementation and get him a bigger cage. That cage is far too small, he should he in a 48" tall cage.
