How difficult is it to raise/breed your own butterworms and/or phoenix worms? Is there a thread already on this subject?

Hey Now, its been awhile since my last post but I think that this current one is somewhat but hopefully not that important. I purchased an ambilobe cham back in December of 2013. He is approx. 8 months old and I have not had any single problem with him since the day I first brought him home...

I just bought a new Panther Ambilobe this past weekend. He is about 6 weeks old and about 3-4 inches in length (nose to tip). At around what age should he or will he start to show his true coloration??? Right now he is a dark brown with white piping along his body to all dark when awake and a...

Hi, Im looking into buying a male Super Pastel python within the next few weeks, probably before xmas or new years and I already have an exo terra black cabinet/stand that's 18"x18". I want to know if a snake set up with those same measurements is suitable for this type of snake to begin with...

This past weekend my male Jackson passed away and I still have my breeding female. At what point and what method can I introduce a new male to continue breeding? Do they need to have time in separate cages before pairing them up?

I was recently hospitalized with a post operative infection and was on IV antibiotics for two months, both in hospital and at home. I just realized yesterday that one of my chams was not eating like normal and that both of his eyes are constantly closed and sunken in. He also has this brown...

Ive had my chams now for almost 3 years and I usually control the fecal odors with Clorox lemon scented wipes, which I use every few days to clean out the bottoms of their cages, both of which are in my bedroom. I also sometimes use a shop vac to get into the corners or to get any that is in...

Is there a better type of food to give a pregnant cham, either egg laying or live bearing that is preffered by you more experienced owners here? Something that will help in the long run to produce more healthy offspring? Also anything to avoid or cut back on ?

I just got back from the Long Island Reptile Expo and I bought some feeders for half price of what I normally buy them at my local stores. As an added treat a local vendor that I normally do business with gave me a couple of male dubia roaches free as a sample meal but when I got home and...

Im looking to make a purchase within the next three months, hoping to get either a juvi Tamatave or Sambava, between 4 months and 1 year old, no older than that panther male. If anybody has any in their stock or knows of someone who might be selling, please hit me up with their contact email...

I remember once reading about how someone used an old plastic milk container as a feeder type thing inside their cham cage but don't remember how they constructed it. I was hoping that someone here can redirect me to that article or tell/show me how to do so. Can the feeders (crickets/roaches)...

I was wondering if this plant that I saw at Home Depot this past weekend is safe to use in my veiled cage, its called a Celosia. I googled it and it says that it is edible but Im not sure if its ok for a cham. This particular one that I saw was a nice shade of purple and seemed to be a...

Good morning, does anybody who uses live plants in thier cages use some sort of liquid or solid plant food aside from just basic water? What is the better method to keep yuour plants healthy and alive yet not cause harm to your pets cham or any feeders that are in the cage and eventually consumed?

Hello, I recently purchased a Glowfish tank kit for my young nephew as well as a few fish and I noticed a great difference in color from the normal lighting to the blue LED lights and I was wondering if anyone uses these LEDs or a blacklight for thier chams and if there is a notable difference...

I had three baby jacksons born this past february. They all died within the past 10 days. They always ate, every day, fruit flies and pinhead crickets, watered with automatic mister three times a day, every 4 hours for 3 minutes, kept them in a small size (12x12x18) Exo Terra Rainforest...

whats the difference, pro vs con, between using Bug burger over Super gutload to feed my crickets?

I have three new born baby jax chams which are one week old today. Ive been feeding them H.Deyi (or however you spell it) FF and pin head crix for the past week and am wondering at what age do they have to be before I can upgrade them to 1/4" crix and worms??

Ok so my female Jacksons cham just gave birth a couple of days ago while I was at work. when I arrived home I managed to find three healthy little chams wandering around in her cage with one still born hanging under a leaf. I have since seperated the living ones into a smaller cage, fed them...

and I think you might know what Im going to say next. When I woke up this morning, I fed and watered my jacksons pair like usual. hand misted for a few minutes, threw in a couple of dozen dusted crickets and a few silk worms and off I went. When I got home I was taking off my coat and I...

I have mainly fed my chams crickets with the occasional hornworm(s) every other week. My local store has just told me yesterday that they will start selling Silkworms soon but I have no knowledge about them. They also have these little containers of phoenix worms but when I look inside all I...
