I have to imagine there is a better one for less than $40, that's why I posted here. The one from pet smart that i linked doesn't work after about a 6 months to a year so don't buy it! I also have one of the ones you're describing and I see the same issue, inconstant time keeping. I think I'm...

Just curious what everyone is using for as a timer for their lights, and if they're happy with it. I've been using a kind of mechanical timer... something like this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752180 But its been getting stuck in one position lately so for the short...

When I had one crickets also escaped from them really easily. I got rid of it because I was tired of a cricket jumping on me in the middle of the night. Now I just ditched crickets all together; yay Roaches!

If you mean soil for laying eggs, i think most people use either damp sand or some organic potting soil (no fertilizer/pesticides). I've had luck with organic potting soil. Anything here should be damp enough to hold a tunnel shape, but not totally soaked. If you mean soil for a substrate, its...

I'm sure some people much more experienced than me can chime in with better opinions, but this is my initial thought... Do those lights inside the cage get hot? Can't your chameleon get burnt? From what I understand you really only need one basking light and one UVB light (usually a ReptiSun...

I have herpmist, and I love it. I used to hand mist and use a drip-system, but now I would never concider that. From the looks of the websites herpmist and mistking are basically the same. Promist looks a little different, but equally good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3. I...

I had my hibiscus outside for some sun and it got white flies :-(

Honestly, you're probably better off just buying one from herpmist.com or mistking.com. I don't think you'll save that much money building your own, and (not to be mean) there is always the change that a homemade one will suck; especially if you're asking for advice about it on a forum. If you...

I have one i use for traveling/pet sitters. I am always afraid that it will break though.

Here is how i do my drain: The black tub is a "super tub" from Lowes. You can find it in the cement mixing section. It sits a a slight angle so all the water from my mister goes to that corner. The cage itself has no floor. Its just four walls and a ceiling. This makes it super easy to clean...

The question is, can I get one that plays a little thunder sound right before it mists. Like the ones in the produce section of grocery stores :D j/k I have a herpmist and it works fine for me. I looked at Mist king and it looks almost exactly the same. I didn't buy any screen adapters b/c i...

When I lived in NC I saw a wild green anole eatting a black widow spider. It was freaking cool! I wouldn't recommend trying to catch venomous spiders though ;-)

I use the feeding cup method from here: http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=79 I mainly stick to roaches, silkies, butterworms, and the occasional hornworm. I didn't like crickets because they stink. Also breading roaches is super easy.

What about for Veiled Cs in the wild?

Organic eggs from the grocery store come in the cardboard egg crates. They costs a little more, but you're getting dual use out of them :D. Also sometimes you can walk into a petco/petsmart and ask them for some crate. Sometimes they'll just give you some for free.

Hi Debby, Thanks for the advice. I've actually been worrying about this since she is sick. If you go to the first post and check out the picture of her cage the white tub at the bottom is there for her to lay eggs. Its smaller than what many of you have described in the breeding forum, but...

female about to lay eggs.

Some seemed very small, maybe 1/4 to 1/2". others were bigger around 1" to a little more. I just went back and looked at the mulberry farms website and they say: To me that means it is all small/medium worms.

So if I can't expect the swelling to go down, how can I be sure that any treatment is working? I'm trying to look at all four of her feet every day, and I've started taking daily pictures of the two swollen feet so that I can track their progress.

^ I have a question about the silkworm pods, maybe the answer might also help Jaidensmomma. What's the best way to store these silkworm pods? I got one and about halfway through it all the silkies died. (There were probably about 50 worms in the pod I received so roughly 20-25 worms died). I...
