I recently bought 400 dubia nymphs and a small group of hissing cockroaches, to start my own colonies. My questions are: Can I keep everyone in one container, safely? If I have to feed protein to get them to breed correctly,(along with warm temps), how do I make sure they don't get too much...

So I was the manager of a family owned pet supply and feed store for 10 years, waiting patiently for opportunity to raise it's head. The owners are both older and kept telling me they would offer me the business after they sold an adjunct lot,(high city taxes). Everything fell into place...

So, I manage a pet supply and do some rescue work. We took in an English Pointer, about 6 months old, planning on keeping him and he is wreaking havoc in our house during the day. I am pretty darn knowledgeable about most pets, especially dogs, (10 yrs in the store), but was thinking there are...

I am very taken with Sambava's, but in my research, I have become very curious about the Andapa locale. I read they were once very prevalent in the US, what happened? Are there really such strong trends in cham keeping? The pics and coloration are very fascinating to me. Just wondering...

Sunday we were without electricity for about 10 1/2 hours, during which I started to panic, since it got below 60 degrees in the house. Was ready to scoop up my Cham and my 4 yr old daughter and try to trek to town, but roads were really bad, and obviously walking if stranded would kill my...

In my falling asleep nights, I constantly brain-storm on things I would like to do, one being write a book. Not having the knowledge or experience to do so on chams, why don't some of you senior members and very experienced keepers write a decent chameleon book? It would be awesome to have all...

Just a simple question. How often is it okay to use hornworms, my cham has tongue issues, so they are easier for him to eat, but I know too many are too fatty. So what is the guideline? I buy 12+ at a time and slow down growth, by keeping them in the fridge. I use veggie gut loaded crickets...

Okay, so I have 3 gigantic, overgrown hormworms. I do not have the heart to put them outside to freeze, it is getting cold here in Michigan. I understand they will turn into moths, but, my Saki has a non-shooting tongue, ( dish fed only before I got him), so will moths be of any use to him...

Okay, I am once again obsessing. I have had this male veiled aprox. 1 month, he is about 2. Built new cage, following all of the forum advice from lights to supplements. Saki doesn't creep around very much, he def has tongue issues, (always dish fed),but a very strong grip. I worry because...

This is the completed cage, it only took 20+ hours. A carpenter I am not, but it turned out pretty good, and matches our great room. Can post basic directions if anyone is interested. I incorporated new window screens that we owned, with carsiding wood to match the room. Dimensions are about...

Does anyone know if you have to do anything special to any branches brought in from outside. I wonder about parasites, fungus and mold, etc.. Are any trees toxic or not safe? I am putting finishing touches on homemade cage, 48 inches tall, and need a few more tall items to complete it. Are...

This is Saki, approx. 2 yr old male veiled. I bought him from a college student for 100.00 in the glass terrarium, where I guess he has lived most of his life. His new screen cage should be done by Mon, I have been obsessing about it long enough. Waiting for poly. sealer to dry and then it is...

What is the safest product to use to seal wood on enclosures, especially those with 3 solid sides? I am concerned about misting and having chemical run-off that could be deadly. Or is there a product to put over the wood, after sealing it, (like glue on some stick down flooring squares), to...

I just bought my 2yr old Veiled from a college student about a week ago, I have done plenty of research, but my main concern is that I have never seen him shoot his tongue out. He was fed out of a small ceramic bowl. I read that the tongue can permanently shorten. Has anyone else ever had a...
