Received my 24" quad today and I must say I couldn't be happier. This is a very high quality light. The fit and finish is perfect. The spectrum of light you receive with the quad sets the bar for any other brand. I have read from a couple people that this is a over priced light and could easily...
I needed a few new nozzles and other things for my mistking to setup Lazy Boys big boy cage. I have never ordered straight from mistking but I can see why it takes so long to get it. Let's just send it in a circle? Someone should be fired
So I started my dubia colony in the beginning of May this year (30) females (10) males bought from a local breeder. They are gut loaded with bug buffet and mix fruits and Veggies (kale, sweet potato, apples, pears yada yada) and today I found a couple round females running around. Very short and...
Its that time again and I thought I would share my procedures. Might remind someone to do something or you might see I'm missing something. I think this is a very over looked part of Chameleon keeping and my way is not the only way to go about it.
The cleaner and disinfectants I use are as...
So I don't normally have many feeders left at the end of the day but he might leave 1 dubia or a cricket. I have been killing and tossing them in fear that they could bring something back to the colony. What do you do? Do you just throw them back in or gut load separate from the colony to put...
So my first go at silkworms went great. Had very few die off and have WAY more eggs then when I started with. The first moth to lay eggs didn't lay a lot 50-100 eggs and then the floods came. Moths dropping well over 200+ eggs, so I cut the paper and put them aside to change colors. The first...
How old do male panthers start popping sperm plugs? My panther is 17 weeks and has something sticking out of his vent. Looks like a sperm plug or maybe something from a feeder? What should I do? Should I give him a good mist with warm water or? Here a pic
How fat are butterworms? Would they be to big for a 4 month old panther? He already gets dubias, crickets, reptiworms, silks and supers and I want to add butterworms and blue bottle flys. Anything else I should look into feeding him?
Even after giving away or feeding off as many as I could I still pulled 81 out today and waiting on another 50+ to coccon or finish their cocoon. For the people waiting on moths they will becoming soon.
So yesterday we got a 1.5y old Leopard gecko (he's a rescue) poor guy was so scraed on the ride home. After getting him home and cleaning/disinfecting his cage all he wanted to do was be on my girlfriend. He straight up goes to the side of the tank she is on. If I hold him he cruz's around but...
I got a reptirain automatic mister used for two days and upgraded to a mist king. It does work as its supposed to and comes with everything like new. $45 shipped or trade for Stick bugs, blue bottle fly's or other feeders.
Got some more free feeders for locals to me (Stockton, Ca ) got some full grown silks that are starting to cocoon (MALES ONLY) and I will have some moth in about two weeks. (I have a lot more males so I can spare some (NO FEMALES, NO SHIPPING)
How big do they get? Do they get to big for a 3 month old panther or will he be fine? Think I want to add blue bottle flys and Indian stick bugs to my chams diet.
I know it depend on each cham but what's your chams favorite feeder? For Lazy Boy he loves supers but I only give them to him every two to three days and fresh molted. Next is dubias I don't know why but he loves them and this is his main stable. Reptiworms/Phoenix are next but these he prefers...
Lazy boy is just starting to show some greens in the face but it going to be some time before he starts showing some real color. Soooooo let's see some Chameleon Paradise pride in here and post pics of your Chams from Bruce. Males, females, nosy, ambilobe I want to see em all.
Lazy Boy
DOH...
I'm almost two weeks in on my silkworms and its going great. I'm feeding them off now but I'm going to have a lot 100+ to breed. What kind of ratios females vs males should I shot for? From what I read males can mate 2-3 times so if I shoot for a 2 to 1 ratio I should have enough males to go...
