I've done a lot of research and I have decided to swap to quad quads because I got these two solely because my climate study proved that quad quads would do well here then the breeder convinced me to try quad Gracilors instead because they're from similar areas but I have noticed that althought...
Meet the amazing offspring of Dr. Ezazil Pepper and Esmerelda!
Pictures in order.
Sire: (Dr.) Ezazil Pepper
Grand Sire: Pyro (Well known Tamatave breeder on the west coast)
Dame: Esmeralda
Grand Sire (Dame side): I Re-homed this female from a pet owner (non-breeder) who told me she was a FL...
Hi FFF = Flightless Fruit Flies
I'm starting up some colonies as I have a clutch of Tamataves hatching YAAAAY :) first healthy clutch to hatch for me and I've been trying to breed for going on 3 years now so almost right on time for health breeding but a little late some say. (I had several...
Ok so this shouldn't be too complicated but I am finding my superworms, which I buy 500-1000 at a time, are not loving the foods I offer them and about 15-20% of them are dying off before I can feed them off! So here is the list of foods I offer them and how I think they like em.
- Water...
Hey everyone,
before I start this I just want to get a download from anyone that already uses stick bugs as supplemental feeders. Are they good? Nutritious enough to be worth using? Are they toxic at all? I'll be using either Indian or pink wing stick bugs fed blackberry and some ivy...
He everyone I am looking for a 3 mo - 2 yr old Tamatav female for my very well bred Tamatav male. He has excellent colors and I need another female for him to keep up the species in the US since they are not super popular it seems. That's all! I live in the SF bay area as well for reference if...
So I am a big fan of repashy Bug Burger. I even tweak it by adding a little repashy Gutload to the mix sometimes. However with so many insects I am breeding to keep my chams healthy and happy, I find it really expensive and I go through a pound of it really fast now...
I have found some pretty...
Are slugs safe chameleon food? Do they really have loads of brain parasites I heard about in a TV show once? Are they nutritious at all?
Anyway I ask all this because I have discovered my mini green houses I built make a good home for them and I have some big ones maybe, banana slugs (They are...
Hey, I am contemplating starting a Indian SB or Pink Wing SB (stick bug) colony, but obviously I first wanna know if they are nutritious first! Anyone know anything about this? Also if any one knows their needs what would you recommend if I live below San Francisco (climate). Kinda cold climate...
Hey everyone, so I'm maxed on chams I can have from space limitations so I started building outdoor enclosures with great success and now I have 2 enclosures that are also greenhouses! With Lots of super rare nepenthe's pitcher plants, bromiliades and weird orchids I can find. Already getting...
Ok, so I have like 20-30 adult super worm beetles right now, but these guys refuse to lay eggs or something! I have provided a 2 box setup where there is a little grate between the boxes so only little eggs and babies can get down to safety away from their cannibalistic parents. Any guesses why...
Ok so Breeding Dubia is super easy,
but so should breeding super worms but I have YET to get my Super worm beetles to actually lay eggs that hatch and grow. I think I want to try putting my adult beetles on soil rather than oats because this usually leads to Mite infestations (I have...
I haven't seen this before in females, what is this is this a concern or maybe shes just getting fat? She grew up really fast. VERY surprisingly I think she grew to adult size faster than my Gracillior boy is growing. Take a look! Jean Janet hopefully knows.. The bulge is between her legs on her...
She's dropping eggs! Not burying them!
What does this mean?
Its a Nosy be girl that I think bred with my male but never saw it consummated to confirm, so maybe they are infertile but he mated with my other female just fine, and she is starting to dig in the potted plants I give her so she's...
Hey everyone!
First things first I wanna say that I plan on scaling up a bit over time so I don't want to dabble wasting time or money buying a cheap incubator not that I later dislike and toss to get a better one.
Basically I wanna get a good one to start with so I am willing to spend...
So I listed to this last Friday and realized this nursery is in my extended back yard and I also remembered that in years past i used to want to do stuff like this all the time and just didn't have the time really or a decent camera for that matter so I did a walk though for your enjoyment, if...
I got one from someone in the bay area from our Facebook page but it broke in like 2 week because there were some bare wires that touches and shorted everything out! Very lame..
Hey folks, considering breeding these amazing healthy feeders for my chams, looks like it wouldn't be hard as they eat like anything, but I have some questions.
1. What climates can they withstand if I want to breed them outdoors because they are... Kinda gross.
2. What problems arise from...
Hey everyone,
I built a big ole outdoor enclosure that is pretty awesome, plants are going nuts in there not which is what I was looking forward to, but these enclosure can only suit my Quad Gracilliors, (Montane species) but what about my Panthers? Gotta have a haven for them too, not to...
Ok, so I have two 6+ month old quad girls. And when I got them they were just too small to let them live outside so I keep them in glass for the super high humidity and keeping temps cool. However I also am introducing them regularly to the temps outdoors here in norcal. I have read from several...
