my guy LOVES hornworm moths and silkworm moths, he also like walking sticks, superworms and crickets. He hate roaches of any type, same with beetles, and the silkworms/hornworms arent active enough for him to be interested in all the time. He will eat them on occassion but I find more dead than...
mulbery farms had a window of about 3 months that they had them in stock, unforunately mine all got sick or contaminated by foreign insects so I had to throw them away....luckily I have a bunch of eggs that im going to attempt to raise on my mulberry tree I have growing in my apartment. April...
try getting a picture from inside the cage so we can better see what you are trying to describe, do you know if he was up super close to his basking lamp? If so he may have gotten a burn on his casque, if your really very worried, id say call your local exotic reptile vet and describe what your...
as a person who travels a lot I have everything on timers and set up for ease of use, but its always been a concern of mine about getting friends to feed him. My boy got his eye infected and so i've been having to board him at the vet for a whole month since none of my friends could give him...
Thanks, yah his poor eye has gotten even worse today its even puffier >.< I have that apt tomorrow at 8:20 AM. All the vets around me dont work on Sundays or their exotic vets arent in. I have no idea how im going to give him medication when my friend is watching him and she is only comfortable...
Supposedly pretty experienced, they have treated chameleons before so I dont know. I tried a vet closer to me but they told me to go to this one. They gave me another vet to try but their exotic vet isnt in until Tuesday and I leave on Wednesday for a week trip and dont want him to be in this...

Yes they are! the owner has been having health problems from what I hear. Shoot him an email say that you heard he was sick and just wondering when you could expect the shipment. I ordered a second dome a month or so ago for my chams 1st birthday and after I e-mailed him after seeing the order...
I just want something that is high enough off the ground to be next to the cage (which could be solved by a plant stand) and at least some sturdy branches for him to climb out onto without falling
Hes cage aggressive and even when I get him on my hand he grabs other nearby sticks and escapes so...
Im wanting to get a small tree to use to coax my chameleon out of his cage but havent found anything that is fairly sturdy and at least 3 feet tall, does anyone have any suggestions for plants I could use or should I just buy a fake tree to use?
Ive had similar issues, my guy is sweet and all but as soon as I try and take him out he is one fiesty little buggar. When he had his smaller cage it wasnt a problem but I also kept the door open a lot more, since ive moved and hes in a bigger cage im worried about him falling on a hard floor...
thats really cool, Ive been spraying like crazy my whole apt with ecosmart but these ants are craft, they even came in through my electrical outlet! Maybe ill just grow them out anyways (only 20 of the original 500 survived the ant attack...) and ill just keep them separated from the new ones...
So the past 2 months ive been in an apartment and been dealing with a pesky bit of very determined ants. My question now is my apartment has sprayed outside for the ants and such and afterwards they got into my silkworm bins. Are those silkworms now unable to be grown and eventually fed or since...
as far as i know dubias dont cause impaction, in fact they are the best feeder for a chameleon because they are high in protein, another soft bodied feeder is a hornworm, just dont let them eat a tomato plant because the plants are toxic to chameleons, plus once hornworms morph into moths...
$h**, ive been living in burque for 4 years now and am so f-ing happy ive never seen those buggers around. I'm usually fine with most insects but large amount of pain because its an A-h*** insect, yah naw, you gon die. lol
Also wanted to let you know our state butterfly is the Sandia Hairstreak...
Do you know if you HAVE TO have a live tomato plant for the moths to lay their eggs on? because I know if I want to feed the worms off I cant plant a tomato plant in their same enclosure. Right now their enclosure has an ivy plant in it from when it house stick bugs, and i was hoping they could...
sorry to be bringing this back again...
do you HAVE to refrigerate the eggs in order for them to hatch? my eggs have been black for about 2-3 weeks ish and are just sitting by my cage, idk if i ruined them this way or what but just trying to figure out what my next step should be?
did you find your breeding info online? Ive bred my silkworms, and right now have eggs, but I dont know much about hornworms. Also how did you collect the eggs? My silkworm eggs are pretty stuck to the paper towel they were placed on. Also how long do eggs take to hatch? Ive heard you need to...
so sorry for your loss, last summer I lost a male veiled chameleon to a complete shut down of his organs after a long battle for his life when I got him. I only had him for 3 months but I cried so hard racing him to the emergency vet to try to save his life, but he lost his battle later that...
