I haven't tried them but they might chew on your animal (you should see them clean a dead chameleon) and the long hairs probably make the larvae upalatable.

Discussion of rearing and species use for feeders. There is even a picture of a nice male veiled reared on isopods when young. Large format, full-color, hardcover. $34.95 plus $5 priority shipping. Free shipping through Amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/1616462078

All feeder sources would be illegal. The bill includes all invertebrates and none of our feeders are species originally native to the USA (naturalized species are included as nonnative).

Sorry, I guess it's a maximum of five years per animal, not two.

This bill would easily put a person who breeds chameleons in federal prison for a year or two per animal. There's no way chameleons would make it to the approved list. PIJAC claims on its site the bill is being pushed hard by The Nature Conservancy and The Humane Society. Beyond hoping someone...

Infertile veiled eggs get bright red spots (sometimes yellow and blue as well) within a few days and then collapse.

Females will go to the bottom of the cage and scratch around when they want to lay eggs but if you want to put the bucket it now that shouldn't be a problem. If it's in the cage with an open lid you probably want to check the dampness of the sand once a week or so (with high temps, low humidity...

Same goes for you and me and I know I get bored sometimes (though instead of eating bark I go on chameleonforums).

Isn't it more likely a sign of hunger or boredom rather than possession of an unlikely sixth sense of vitamin & mineral balance?

At best it might not be harmful.

I use Gyna lurida nymphs since they are very active and can't climb and also some isopods. The isopods have a crustacean exoskeleton so it may be better than insects for calcium uptake. However, isopods aren't always relished and they dry out quick. Forgot to say: baby veileds don't really like...

Thanks, it's always good to have something different to feed chameleons.

It's the same answer on a reptile, arachnid or roach forum. Members of the tribe Gromphadorhini are called hissers. There are six genera and 20+ species in the tribe Gromphadorhini. Only about six of them are regularly kept in the US hobby.

I use the 75W spot, 100W might be a little overboard depending on the cage and distance from basking spot.

It's an answer more than a discussion. The various species known as hissers are closely related. All hiss and none of the hissers have wiings (so if somebody said their's flew it obviously wasn't one). Here's a few different species/genera:

There are a number of different species and genera that fall under "big Madagascar hissing roaches."

I usually keep them around 22-24 and they take six months or so.

They aren't getting rid of halogens right? Halogen spots are great (except for the price).

True but there are a number of species and genera of different hissers

Your hissers should move around a bit at night.
