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...
:D
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...
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...
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 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...
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 posting this from my phone so bear with the typos and other errors.
Commah is a 1 year old vield. He has a 2x2x4 reptibreeze, a automatic mister, and a really worried mom!
Over the last couple days I've made some changes in his cage: he went from having a combo uva/uvb bulb to having a...
I can't remember what I bought last time I went out to get his lights.
I'm going to buy him a replacement ReptiSun UVB bulb, and can't remember if I use the 5.0 or the 10.0....?
Commah is an (almost) 12 month old Vield Chameleon. Which should I get this time?
Commah (10 month old Vield) and Dilly (6 month old Beardie) have offically taken over the bedroom. Today I spent a couple hours making a drainage system, setting up his *NEW* monsoon system, and making room for his new brother (who techinally isn't even born yet xP)...which is this huge empty...
Your Chameleon - 10 Month old Vield, Male.
Handling - About every other day- not forced.

I am looking for a 6 month or younger Nosy Faly. The younger the better!
Have always admired them, and now that I have the funds- im ready for a new girl or guy.
Gender doesnt matter- price needs to be reasonable! I am conscience of my spending, and we all know how much all of the supplies...
Two questions/disscussions; One Thread :D
(1)*From my other post, but not the subject of the other post*
Commah has a kink in his tail, and has had it since I got him at 3 months of age. What do you think it is/was? I'm just interested in knowing what it was, not concernd about it.
David...
Commah is turning 7 months old in a few weeks and I realized I haven't posted pctures since when I first got the little dude! He's doing very well- he lets me watch him eat and drink, has no more attitude issues, LOVES perching on my head and hair, and is insanely active now a days. He has more...
Last night around 6pm my power box fuse switched off and refused to switch back on. That meant no power, no heat, no hot water, no fridge, no stove, no anything. I called the electrician, who came out and kindly told me that I need to replace my entire fuse box, and update my ground line. The...
Commah's becomming a jerk!
Ever since I moved him into his brand new big boy enclosure, I can't stick my hand in to even give him crickets without him getting all crazily colored and he sometimes hisses. OBVIOUSLY i know that chammies aren't the friendliest reptiles, but I want him to be...
I'm looking to buy Silkworms for Commah to add to his diet.
He is a "worm" boy! Anything that wiggles he goes for!
I already checked the site sponsors, and no one has any Silworms available (unless I missed one!)
Where do you guys buy them from?
How much for how many?
How long do they...
