*Looks at pictures* *Looks at my enclosure* . . . . *cries* Hahaha! That is a phenomenal build! Time to revamp my enclosures then :P

Thanks folks! Everyone has been really helpful. I have more than a 1000 supers right now so feeding them all with the bug burger will not be cost efficient. I'm planning on dividing them. One section for just maintenance the other gut loading. I'll use a better bedding for gut load in a second...

He is just getting back on his feet right now I won't be too alarmed about it. Is he getting better with his aim after the first 2 failures? If it does persist for a few more days then thats a red flag. Just make sure the temps and humidity swings are good.

Im thinking about that too, although with my insect colonies a beardie would be a good addition. Then again my girlfriend says I should stay away from lizards for awhile. So where can you recommend I get a hedgehog?

Interesting. I do have supers, dubias and matis right now. I'd have to look into getting more roaches and I' gonna give into some mealworms just for variety. I just wish I have more space its tough to be a college kid living alone in a small bedroom apartment. I've recently installed a few...

That is a good size a bit big but nothing you should worry about. If you cup feed there wont be an issue. If you just release the feeder insect inside the cage you might keep an eye on it. Make sure that your cham is seeing the feeders and there is no extra feeders left uneaten to be safe...

Thats good to know. I have friends that got their supplements from petco and the associates recommend a the one with D3 for everyday feeding. I'd stick with pinhead crickets for now the mealworms might have a bit too much chitin in them for a young cham. Chitin is the hard exoskeleton of the...

Welcome to the forums! Seems like you are very fond of your new pet. I would like to direct your attention to the caresheet. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/ That should give you a good basic knowledge of chameleon care. I'm also gonna point out a few things here and there...

That is a way better set-up. What size is it might be abit too big for him in terms of hunting around looking for his food. You can just cup feed him for now. Also as you have mentioned lots of vertical branches and plants to provide cover. Especially during the first month they need some cover...

Ive been reading that oat meal which is my main staple right now is not really recommended as bedding for superworms. Any suggestions on a substitute or addition to make the mix better for my chams?

Now how long did that santa hat stay on his head and how many tried did it take to pull this off :P Very nice photos :)

What do you mean by grabbing him? Can you elaborate please....

Im fine, I love that I always learn something new about the care of these animals everyday here. It's nice that you pointed out some erroneous remarks that I stated. Now I will benefit from it too :) 10 feeders? That is quiet an investment for sure. If you dont mind me asking what kinds of...

Yeah... Listen to those two. They have more knowledge and experience compared to mine. :D Check and balance at play folks. I'm just really blinded by my bad experience with crickets that I would choose not to go back to them as feeders. Although I admit that I do purchase an occasional batch of...

Thats a great pic Olimpia :D

I have 2 veileds and I plan to incorporate a free range cage soon, so cats would be out for a while. I'm torn between a hedgehog or a beardie.. Hmm..... Any comparisons between the two?

What pets are very compatible with a household with chameleons. Im looking into getting a different pet not any time soon but somewhere in the near future. Any advice on what kind of pets I should get. Something that would be great in my apartment with 2 chams. I was thinking of either a bearded...

Since roaches are a big no no. I recommend super worms and meal worms. Make those 2 as your staple. Also purchase some silk worms and horn worms for treats every now and then. I also recommend wax worms if you want them to gain a few grams. They are nothing but fat treats so use sparingly. Work...

If temperature is an issue I suggest more live plants to better retain humidity and also a bulb with lesser wattage. A bigger cage with a better temperature range would be great too. So your cham can pick a spot where its cool when he wants to cool down and a warm spot when he wants to bask...

Usually young chams are great eaters! Mine went through 100 crickets in just 5 days at one point. Just keep an eye on the crickets though. Any uneaten crickets will nibble on your new cham if left unattended during nights. Make sure to remove all the uneaten crickets before night falls. Your...
