water crystal info Yes you can get them there, I got some at Lowes. They are called Soil Moist Granules. Just make sure the type you get doesn't also contain fertilizer. The ones I got say right on there that it is not a plant food. Just plain ol' water crystals!

I just started a colony also and so far so good. I started with 30 adult females and 8 or so males. I found someone on craigslist that had the adults close to my house from thinning his colony. I also got 100 small and 100 med-large nymphs from on here (thanks Brian) and there were a lot of...

I keep them in the sacs, easier to find them that way. Basically they spin this web-like stuff around them (kinds like a silk worm) and it gets all stuck to the bedding stuff and gets a mess so keep them in the sac, make a little hole to get out the ones you need and I find they stay in there...

He's about 8 months old. Thanks guys for reassuring me that he's okay!

Hi there, today my veiled is shedding on his head but I noticed these little black spots, they are black scales on his head that have been there a few hours since I got home and I've never seen that before on him so it got me a bit worried. Has anyone seen a Cham like this before? Ever since...

Safe and they grow like CRAZY!! Good to fill up a cage, you can trim them up a bit so they don't grow too big. They flower pretty and are pretty hard to kill which is a plus just don't put in under your basking light :) You can take cuts that you trim off and replant them. If you don't...

Hi everyone, I used to work at Petsmart for a few years and actually they don't just throw a bunch of stuff away for NO reason lol. If a customer returns something and says they "tried it on my dog but didn't fit" we have to toss it, like someone mentioned a anything that was used on/with a pet...

This forum has helped me so much! Thanks! I'm glad you mentioned as big as between their eyes because I was ready to fed them an adult that was a bit small but still, adult size. My Gravid female is a porker still! I mean she is HUGE and she will still eat as much as she can get her hands...

Okay I have a 12 month old female who is gravid at the moment and a 7-8 month old male as well. How many Dubia should I feed them per day? And size recommendations? They are both able to eat a small adult size or large nymph with no problems getting them down. Thanks everyone, I'm new to...

I'm just starting my colony too and I'm so glad you posted this because I was going to do the same thing but now I can just read here! I found a few little black beetles in with my shipment and I caught them with the tongs and threw them out..any idea what they could have been or if they're...

Mounting the lights above the cage...help please! Can someone post a picture of how they mounted their lights above their cage? I'm trying to get an idea of what to attach my lights to to keep them above the cage. I saw a picture before of some time of metal rack with lights attached. Any...

I sure hope to see that first picture in the next photo contest, that is absolutely hilarious and perhaps the best Cham expression I've ever seen.. It's like his tail attacked him it reminds me of the movie Idle Hands

Can't wait to see pics and hear more about how this works! Summer is on it's way and I live in the DESERT so humidity is so hard to get stable here, always looking for new devices to make my life (and my Chams) easier and more enjoyable!

6500k grow light?? Can someone explain the 6500k bulb to me, I am trying to find it at lowes or home depot but the lights online just say ___watt flourescent bulb

Hi there, I am starting a Dubia COlony and I'm wondering where I can get the water crystals for cheap. I hope to find somewhere I can get them without having them shipped and paying shipping fees. Someone told me he thinks I can get them at Lowes?

Pictures... Houdini, son of tikitiki's Mako, 8 months old.

Reptisun vs reptiglo Also, I forgot to ask this.. my UVBs are due to be changed next month and I'm wondering if Reptisun 5.0 is better than reptiglo? I notice a lot of people using reptisun and I want to get what's best, I am doing research online now but it's always nice to talk to actual...

I curently have a 75watt house bulb and a 10.0 repti glow strip light in one cage and a 75watt house bulb and a 5.0 spiral repti glow in the other. Cage size is 2'lx2'wx4'h. The problem I've having is the cages seem dark. I'm trying to find a balance between the cages getting to warm and the...

I'm wondering how long (age wise) does it take for a male veiled to have their full adult coloring? I have a 8 month old male and Tikitiki's Mako is his sire. I can't wait to see what his colors develop into as he matures!

My husband had to get a ladder and pull branches trying to bend the tree top enough to get him because he was a lot higher than my husband could reach, luckily this scared him downward and I ran and got a long tree branch and as Houdini was running downward (luckily eyes looking back at my...
