    repashy

    I use bug burger when I can get it. I should order it from the net. I use it dry and shake it on lettuce or other things and with it, crickets devour it, without the dusting, they don't eat nearly as much as fast. I haven't tried superfood, but I think it also helps increase color of your...

    best heat light

    I use zoo med repti basking spot lamp bulbs. Reflector incandecants, in 50 for summer since it can get hot up here, and 75 for winter. They usually last a decent while and can find them in double packs (which I searched all over at the reptile show for yesterday). I have tried those daylight...

    Cooper Soaking His Hands

    Jann, what about those soft, fake vines from either fluckers or exo terra? I know they have two sizes, and the large ins't really big, perhaps they might help. I started using them after I had a few of the natural branches break pretty fast on me for my guys. Unless there is something wrong...

    Yea, I rarely use potatoes, except when I first get them and use the ones that came with them, toss them after a few days. I stuck a baby carrot cut in half in the tank...not many crickets in there now, but will see if they like it.

    Nice, grats on finding him. You lucked out there that no raptors or other things like cats got it.

    Hmm, so romaine and potatoes are not good...and when you get bulk crickets they always pack them with potatoes... Then again, I am now not sure it is romaine or red lettuce I use. Have to check. Oh and the carrots in the cricket cage would get wasted...they do not goto waste for us or the dogs!

    Horn worms (aka "Goliath" worms)... Incredible growth rate!

    Yes, they grow so fast, it seem even faster when warmer weather like summer time. I have tried raising hornworms, took the large ones to let them turn to moths, but I usually ended up with ones with stunted wings (not keeping soil moist enough). I tried crickets also to no avail, but that was...

    When will my male Panther colour up

    I forget now if I had the same problem with my panther back when he was little as well. Eventually they will start to take them. My guy stopped eating crickets, I'm not sure if it was a time that one jumped out of the cup and at him and that turned him off or not, he was big when that...

    New mommy.

    Doesn't the water pool up, or leak out with just a plain bottom? And cant you clean the carpet enough to prevent bacterial buildup?

    Do you shave the carrots or whole, say, baby carrots? I have used that in the past and they went to waste.

    I thought romaine lettuce was decent, iceberg is mostly water. I use romaine and fluckers cricket feed.

    Power Outage = No Heat

    I have thought about this as well. I have a camping trailer that is winterized right now and the deep cell battery is out of it, and have been thinking of getting an inverter or borrow one from the neighbor to hookup the lights and I can hand mist or use the aquazamp. That should last a few...

    Million Dollar Idea!!!

    I must have been thinking of the green banana roaches with flying.

    Million Dollar Idea!!!

    I too have been worried about roaches getting out. I think they can only fly on an angle right? So if you have them in a feeder cup, they can't get out. I don't mind the chirping but can be loud at times. I just act like I'm camping in the woods.

    Comment by 'Brandonmh' in 'The Taming of the Chameleon'

    Thanks for this guide! Today I got him to allow me to handle him and he was on my shoulder/back for a while. I did the vine to a good size scheflera outside the cage once or twice before and he came out a bit but went back in. I wanted to try it again today and he came out into the plant and...

    Please show me your cricket containers.

    I use a 20 gal tank with screen top and egg crate as well. I have an old whipped butter tub lid that I use for putting the dry feed in, I lay the lettuce leaves on the egg crate and dust with bug burger. I also use oranges as well, but right now I am working on ridding a small fruit fly...

    How do screen cages work?

    I thought the same as you, but they really do hold humidity pretty well. I have a panther and a veiled now and both are doing well. Live plants help with humidity as the fake plastic/silk ones dry off real fast and don't hold the humidity as well.

    Mr.Pink's not doing well! :(

    I think I heard about cfl's causing problems as well. I was going to swap it to a linear one when this one goes, which will be in about a month or so. It is every six months to change them correct? I have heard varying things on this as well.
