I'll look into those foods and start cleaning the cage more often. Thanks again.

I cleaned the cage after a week, I may do it more often next time.

Thank everybody, it must have been the food. It's been two weeks since I got the new batch of 500 and there's still loads of them left and not seeing the dead ones this time. I've been exclusively feeding them the flukers and the water bits.

I get the 1/2" crickets in bulk. But locally they only have small or large, so I get the large, small are just too tiny. They're probably between 1/2" - 3/4". Definitely some are chirping.

I have an old container of this Fluker's food. Maybe for a test, I will try to use this stuff exclusively with this batch and see how they do.

What temps are you keeping yours at? Without the heater my cage is 72 degrees, I have it off waiting for the next batch of crickets.

Shop rite is were I get my greens from, it's the only store nearby. There is a Wegmans, but it's about 1/2 hour away. I thought they were sold clean, but even my wife is telling me she cleans them before eatting. I just rinsed the whole bunch and will make sure to rinse them really good...

I wasn't even thinking about pesticides on the greens. Maybe I should wash it really good before putting them in. I usually just rip off a piece and throw it in. I'll have to check the temps, but before I moved them to the basement, I didn't use the heater and the house temps were around 70...

I sometimes get them in 500 bulk and sometimes locally at 120-150 at a time. The 500 bulk ones are Brown crickets and the 120-150 ones are Banded. I keep them in a 10 gallon aquarium with a full screen top and have plenty of toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls cut in half. I have two 3"...

Never a bother. Unfortunately, I took the plant out, but you can see the pot hanging in the following photos. If I was to do it again, I'm going to use this pot and place the plant & new pot into this one, to allow me to remove it, if I need to. The first shows it from the front. The second...

You're welcome. I believe somebody on here told me about it and it worked great. So, just passing it along. Good luck.

Well, we decided to go with a bearded dragon this time around. I'll keep the setup incase I decide to try again in the future. Thanks for all the help everybody.

I have my pothos hanging with the vines drooping and wrapping around the sticks. I used standard thumb tacks on each end to attach them. Just cut the branch to the correct size, then push tack from the outside. The door makes pushing tacks and trying to hold the branch at the same to difficult.

Sounds like a perfect setup you have there. I was looking at the Jacksons, my wife really doesn't like their look. She's not a big fan of the horns, I think they're unique looking.

Do you have the windows open when the chameleons are near the windows or on the table? If not, most likely the window glass would be blocking the UVB. In NJ I can take my lizards outside, but winter it's too cold. But, I'm sure Denver is the same. I'll probably wind up getting another...

Yeah, but with 50% of the UVB being filtered out by the screen, wouldn't a 10.0 on top of the screen be equivalent to a 5.0 not going through the screen? The cage is 4' tall, so I think he/she would be able to go lower to get lower levels. Wouldn't this be true? Or do they have no idea...

Thanks all. It makes me feel a little better that it doesn't sounds like it was neglect from my care. As far as handling, we would occasionally take him out when he was small. Didn't like it, but we could get him out without him freaking out. Once he got about a year old, he wanted no part...

My 2 year old Male Veiled Chameleon (Mylo) passed away this morning from MBD. I'm just glad he is no longer suffering. It seemed to happen pretty quickly. He didn't seem to like me anywhere near him, so I tried to put his food in and just leave him alone. He acted normal, or at least I...

Yeah, they're a pain. I still have the original pothos in his cage and it lost a lot of leaves too. I've been picking the mealy's off when I see them and removing all dying leaves. It's way too cold to wash outside. I just spray the plant with water in the cage. My 2nd pothos looks good...

I took the new pothos and placed it in the sink and gave it a really good soaking and rinse using the hose attachment on the faucet. Then I removed it from the pot, rinsed most of the dirt off the roots, drilled the bottom of the pot, the re-potted it with Eco-Earth. It's hanging in a separate...
