I'm so sick of crickets I could scream. If I find one more loose in my house, I'm going to lose it myself! Okay...rant over... Are dubia sufficient if I switch from crickets as a staple feeder? Can dubia be used as an everyday staple feeder? I do have a local reptile shop that...

Dubias are new feeders for me, I was able to find a local reptile shop that sells them. But...how to store them is my question? If I put them in a standard cricket keeper (I'm only going to keep about a dozen on hand at any given time for now) can they get out? Can they climb the walls of a...

I've got a 4 month old male carpet cham. To date he's only eaten crickets, and we just started feeding dubia. Over the past 2 days I've noticed some small flies (I'm guessing they're fruit flies, or something similar) flying around the cage. I've killed about 5-6 now. I never feed flies so...

We've had our 3 month old male carpet for about 10 days now. We've tried to let him be as much as possible. He's never shown extreme shyness from the day we got him, he has eaten, drank, and even poo'd in front of us, no problem. He doesn't run and hide when we approach the cage, stays out in...

I don't want to set up a huge free range or anything, and I have a carpet cham so he isn't going to get too large to start with. But, we want him to be as comfortable around us as possible, and comfortable with being outside of his cage. Does anyone have pics/examples of just setting up a...

I've had our 3 month old male carpet for about 4 days now. Mister goes off 4x a day for 2 minutes each time. I've noticed most of the time when it goes off he's up higher in the cage, like at his basking spot or something. And the water is not hitting him directly. Is this okay? Does his skin...

How worried should I be if a few got loose in my house? I am buying pinheads, or 1/4" right now. They are so small, a few of them were able to get out of my cage by crawling right under the white pvc bottom (I have the Zoo Med Reptibreeze) I do have a feeder cup, so I'm trying to contain...

Yep...boy cham with a girl name :) My new 3 month old male carpet cham. I'm pretty sure he's saying hi in the 2nd picture. Just got him today. Within 5 minutes he was up at his basking spot warming up. So excited he's finally here! Thanks to everyone on these forums for helping me get...

I'll be getting a juvenile carpet cham this Tuesday, finished set up today. Basking temp hovers between 83-84, humidity is around 68, I'm waiting for my mister to go off again to check the humidity at that time. I have a shower curtain on the left and back side to help with humidity. I'll...

I'm currently setting up for a carpet cham I'll be getting next week. Wow set up is taking me a lot longer than I thought it would! Anyway...as I use push pins and fishing line, etc. to set up my cage, and attach sticks and vines I can't help but think...when I do a full on thorough cleaning...

I'm having the hardest time finding something to serve as a tray underneath my cage. My cage bottom is 16x16. I have it sitting on top of a bath vanity that is 24x18 3/4". I want something I can drill holes into so that water funnels down through the sink into a bucket below. Because the...

I have seen a couple of these, they almost look like pothos, but the flowers are a pretty purple-looking color. What is this, and is it a safe plant? Seen here in the post from Tyaeda (about 1/2 way down the page)...

Getting set up ready for a new juvenile male carpet, I'll be getting him sometime next week. I read 10-12 hours with lights out every night for a cham. This is my 'tentative' schedule for him as I'm setting up timers, etc. 6:00 lights on 6:05 mist 1 minute 6:10 feed 10:05 mist 1...

Sorry I feel like I'm posting a lot... I'm planning on doing the bathroom vanity set up I've seen in other threads here. This is what I'm trying to mimic (scroll down to NolaGirl's post with pictures) https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-owner-cage-pics-tips-appreciated-97679/index5.html...

Is this okay to use? I already have this at home... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Vigoro-1-5-cu-ft-Organic-Pot-Mix-71659920/203721637 I couldn't find anywhere on the bag if it said it was fertilizer free, or conditioner free? I just want to make sure whatever I have is safe, if this is not...

I'm new to chams...and Currently setting up for a male carpet I'll be getting in a week or two. I'm considering buying a misting system and am wondering which one is right for me. I don't necessarily need one that can do multiple cages, something more basic will probably do for me, but I don't...

What do you use to clean up every day things like poo, leaves, floor of enclosure, etc.? Just water, or a mixture of a solution? I figure about once a month I'll disassemble and do a good cleaning with some bleach or vinegar? What's your cleaning schedule, and what do you use?

I read a lot about offering certain fruits/vegetables to your crickets, could you use something like this as well, http://www.amazon.com/Flukers-Cricket-Quencher-Fortified-16-Ounces/dp/B0002DHPDA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top or is it not recommended? Could you use both, or one or the other...

We'll be getting a juvenile carpet within the next few weeks. I don't see care sheets for carpets, so I'm trying to find out what I should expect as far as how much and how often to fee the carpet, both as a juvenile, and as an adult? Should I be dusting crickets with calcium every time they...
