i keep mine in a rubbermade in my coat closet.i don't hear them at all.

when i get hornworms thats all i feed mine till they are all gone because they grow so fast.it helps to keep them in a cool place,not a frigerator..they grow faster when warm.

so far i've only heaerd of them eating bananas an watermellon.idk what all else they will eat or if its even good for them.

a friend of mine fed his cham bananas once in awhile so I was eating watermellon and cut a long slice for loki,my daughters maroancetra panther.It hit it with his tongue a few times then ate 4 small bites of it.It likes bugs more,but It will eat fruit.

lol don't you just love hand feeding?cool

I bought 500 crickets 30 days ago and have only found 2 of them dead besides the 7 he eats every 4th day.I keep them in a 50 quart tall storage bin with holes drilled all over the top for air.Its too tall for them to jump out and they can't climb the sides.I feed them bananas,celery,and carrots...

Is there anything you recomend to gut load them?I may get some till I can get more hornworms and smash their jaws before feeding.thanks for the replies.

maybe its just a myth,idk,but can't roaches lay eggs on your skin if you touch them?

a friend told me they may bind up my panthers digestive track and might bite him inside.I've thought about cutting the head off super worms before feeding.So far I've only fed him hornworms and crickets but because of cold temperatures here in Pa I've only found crickets superworms and dubia for...

The thinner the tube the more light and less heat the tube puts out.Thin tubes like t5 will last upwards of 18 months before losing their color because of less heat as compared to the 6 months a t8 will last.Those screw in compacts are just flourescents bent up into a ball with an internal...

I just left petco and they had a stand just as you mentioned for hanging lamps from for $30 in the reptile lighting section.

He'll take water pretty much any way its offered.I'm still working on the best way.That dish on top of the cage is his dripper but he does'nt always like it.sometimes he drinks from leaves and sometimes from the pump up misting bottle if its set to drip.I'm using tap water run through a drinking...

I feed 3 times a wk and switch back and fourth from the dusted crickets with d3 and horn worms with nothing on them so I guess thats about how often its getting the d3,about twice a wk.I will cut back more soon when I get the right light.I'm glad I found this forum.Thanks to all of you for...

your right,it is a basking lamp.i just saw the package reads uva not uvb on it.i think for now i'll keep the light i have for basking and add the uvb strip and calcium without the d3 and next month i'll see what i can do about a bigger cage.

thanks for all the help.i'm getting calcium without d3 in it and only using the d3 a couple times a month.i'm putting screen over the plants dirt.i'm completely redoing the lighting and getting a bigger cage.i'll be misting more often as well.i may get a spray just for chameleons to keep the...

I stopped using the basking bulb cause he started going to the bottom of the cage when i turned it on.here are some photos as requested.

ty both for the advice.I did wonder about the cage.I will be getting or making a larger one.I did'nt realize about the d3 either.The lighting I'm using I have'nt heard anything about while reading through these forums so I guess I'll be changing that as well.Since the chameleons doing well for...

this is the set up for my daughters new 18 month old tamatave panther chameleon.I was given a screen 16x16x30 high cage.and a 2 bulb lamp with a repti glo 10.0 bulb on one side,which I switched to a 75w sun glo neodymium daylight lamp and a incandescent in the other.I set the timer for the...
