I recently started a small colony of Silkworms, and have found a friend willing to barter one of my 5 month old Jacksons' for fresh organic mulberry leaves (she has them on her private farm).
Because I can't find accurate information on the price per pound of mulberry leave...
My question is...
My top three:
1. Silks
2. Hornworms
3. Phoenix (followed closely by mealworms and superworms)
Commah's top three(what he likes):
Silks, Horns, Supers
Tobias' top three(his preference):
Mealworms, mealworms, mealworms.
Arwens' top three(her preferences):
Silks, Hornworms, Phoniex...
Longwinded Reply ;) Hope it helps.

Chameleons I have:
Commah (named from a silly childhood memory) the vield.
Tobias (from the "Divergent" book trilogy)...

Yesterday I gave my 12 baby Jacksons' (they are 1.5 weeks old now) their first batch of pinheads. Previous to that they had been on fruit flies and tiny silkworms. Needless to say, it was a slaughter! I've never seen chams so excited to see a new food!
This is where our story begins. :D...
Hello & Welcome to the forums!
I have 1.1 Jacksons, and 12 little neonate Jacksons that are just over a week old.
I started my babies out on fruit flies- a hassle but a decent feeder for the really little guys.
Pinheads were next.
Other feeders I add at around 3-4 weeks and over are as...
Arwen had her babies!
I swear she had them right under our noses! I'm sitting on my bed, browsing CF... ;) and I look up and I see white things walking around her cage. Upon further investigation, I find *12* neonates in her cage! Most of them were hanging upside down under her UVB. :D
She...
No No No! haha. I know- God... I had to drive my Jackson to the vet in 85 degree weather and he was panting! We plan on eliminating the room heater, and using spot lights instead :) That way the room will have a cooler side for all the babies!
The misting is an attempt to keep the humidity...
I recently ordered my crickets from a new online supply company (got sucked into a sale...) and those crickets came to me obviously unhealthy (they STUNK!). Though only a couple were dead upon arrival, by the next morning more than half of them lined the bottom. I have had success keeping even...
I thought Jackson chameleons had less supplemental requirements being a they are a montane species.
"As a montane species (native to higher altitudes) Jackson's have decreased supplementation requirements compared to tropical species due to metabolism differences. Use calcium (without D3 or...
I just got 1.1 Jackson's about 2 weeks ago, and have been letting them setting in so far. The seller told me she was gravid, but I didn't get too much info about when she was placed with the male, etc.
The female is the topic of this thread :)
I have been planning on supplementing them as...
These two guys really need names... I've had them for about a week and nothing has come to me so far... SOMEONE HELP! :D
The male is around 6 months old. Shows beautiful blues, greens and reds when he basks.
This momma to be is a 1 year old female. She eats and drinks like a champ. Walks...
This week I've gotten three new additions to our family!
First, the dubia colony has FINALLY delivered babies! This heat wave (northern NY) has made them sprout to life. It's been a year of trying to get these guys to make some baby cham/beardie food!
Secondly, a new set of chameleons! I...
I started out my Vield with a fogger and hand spraying him 6-10 times a day.
Once the fogger broke (they seem to brake ALOT!!!) I just wasn't home enough to "ONLY" spray him.
I must tell you- I wish I had always purchased the mister! If it was double the $, I would STILL buy it! I actually...
Yesterday, my one and only, turned a year old!
just wanted to say THANKS for getting us through the first year! Everyone on the forums is a great help! I am blessed to have found such an eager-to-help and educated chameleon community.
We celebrated with Wax Worms and lots of outdoor tree...
I'm actually in the Northeast, opposite of what your looking for, so sorry if this doesn't help at all...
But I order my crickets online from Ghann's cricket company. They are speedily delivered, NEVER dead, and always easy to contact if I have any questions.
They even called me once when my...
Thank you.
I know he was bound to get more mean- just wasn't sure if it was related to the "problem".
Weird question- what "are" sperm plugs/what do they mean?
