I agree with Trace! Cabbage butterflies are not moths and they don't live on plants of the Solanaceae family (which can be poisonous), but on the ones of the Brassicaceae family. They are sensitive to pesticides and the great cabbage white (pieris brassicae) once very aboundant, is now a rare...

About what? Plants for the terrarium?

Well, people lived less ages ago becouse they didn't have any medical care and had to be always fit for hunting and stuff like that, but I don't think we could say their diet wasn't appropriate. I have visited a museum in Creta and saw several human skulls of individulas of over 40 years old...

I think Katydids would do fine as they are in the same order as grasshoppers and crickets, but I wouldn't ge giving them cicadas, as I haven't seen animals eating them in nature even when they are extremely aboundant...why would you be gicing cicadas anyway, they are not easy to catch? F.

I don't think eartworms can couse any damage...they can be aboundant in organic rich soils...and I am not sure that something that makes an eartworm die in pain wouldn't effect a chameleon...better avoid any spraying and manually remove the worms... F.

Thanks for your toughts... That would be a nice solution except for 2 things. The first is even if they eat lizards and mammals they can do that only when they are full grown, and when they are babies they can't (as these animals are too big for them), but that is the time they need most of the...

Those should be canna's, not banana plants...they grow much smaller even though similar in appearance... I don't think it is a good idea, bananas grow extremely fast and I think they wouldn't do well in an enclosure of any type... F.

Mine are also eating bigger size crickets...what can happen if they eat bigger insects? I mean, isn't that why they have such a big mouth? F.

Can you send us some pics? Aren't they grown up for fruit flies? I think mine aren't bigger than that and they already eat modest sized crickets... F.

I am not sure about this particular Rhus, but other species contain urushiol, which is irritant to humans and animals. However, it probably contains other tanins, so maybe better to avoid it. Where did you plan to put it anyway? I don't think it's a plant that would do well in e terrarium... F.

Or maybe a leopard gecko, they also enjoy beeing handled and are easy to mantain and are also great looking pets...

I would reccomend you to go to visit someone who has a chameleon and see what its like... If you are not certain that you want one, than you are not ready...these animals need attention like a baby...so, better start with something else and see if you like reptiles at all... F.
