    Hissing/dubia roaches

    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...

    Dreams do come true

    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...

    Help with an unruly rescue dog

    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...

    Any Tips for prolonged power outages?

    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...

    Write us a book already, would ya!

    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...

    How many hornworms/how often is okay

    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...

    Over-grown hornworms/dish feeding issues.

    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...

    Picture of Saki

    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...

    Sealing wood on cham enclosures?

    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...

    Shortened Veiled tongue?

    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...
