i have raised a couple of batches of silkworms, and neither time have i ever even checked the temps. they have been kept at room temp, usually around 70. I don't think temp is to blame for your problems, unless you have it under 50.

ok
Ok so next time I will hold back my sarcastic comments. But I do think that my initial statement is on point. I will reword it to be a better forum member. You check the roach colony temps just like the chameleons cage.
Hey everybody,
What are the symptoms that are typical of photo-kerato-conjunctivitis? I am asking because I have been using a compact flourecent in my chams cage for about a month. I just read the articles about the adverse affects of compacts; I immediately removed the light from use...
laser gecko
hey thanx for that link. I will be taking action immediately to remove this bulb from my use. Ironically, I had been noticing my cham's eyes looked a little strange, but I chalked it up to maybe dehydration (they looked kind of sunk in and a little discolored). I am new at this...
temperture
if you do not know how to take temperature of roach colony well then how do you know how to take temperature of chameleon setup. maybe a new hobby
ok
No matter how much space you will give them, the roaches will always congregate in groups. It seems to be their nature. I read about this on the discovery channel website. They did and experiment to test this concept we are talking about,
life expectancy
I noticed on a batch of mine that if you don't feed the silkies so much they, say every other day, the grow slower which will in turn give you more time before the spin their cacoon. This works unless you want them to spin fast, then feed every day.
?
Hey I Remember reading somewhere that chameleons go on hunger strike only when environmental conditions aren't appropriate. Is this true? What have you all experienced.
p.s. This was not a subtle attempt to say anyone has done anything wrong; just my curiosity.
water
I would assume that if your chameleon is not drinking water off the leaves, then it is probably getting enough from it's food intake. All food except potatoe chips has water in it. One thing for sure in biology is that all things fight for their own survival. If your cham needs...
I just received my shipment of dubia roaches. These things are huge. Can a adult panther chameleon really eat these things. My cham is a baby so I hope to have an established colony before he is able to eat these. I am just concerned because they seem too big.
:confused:
brumation
I own a beardie as well. I have done alot of research on this topic and what was written above is pretty accurate from what I have seen and trusted.
