I think I misunderstood this entire post. Didn’t realize she hasn’t been able to get on at all. Thought it was just like a minor temporary issue. My bad!

Good job catching it. Regardless of good husbandry, I feel this is one of those things that can just be chalked up as something chameleons are susceptible to(eating dirty bugs that bite/sting). I’d bet many die in the wild from this kind of thing. Good practice to regularly check their mouths 👍

I was just going to post, better not hear anything about how “Florida gets cold too!” Hahaha I just came back from the inland empire this week. They were having some intolerable 50-60 degree weather😆. They were asking me if this is what it’s like all winter in Pittsburgh🤦🏻. No joke about the...

Got sidetracked, was about to say almost the exact same as this lol. I’d dilute it or feed very small amounts. Many roach species can handle higher loads of protein(Dubia not as much though), but may not be great for the Cham. I’d be concerned about excess fat soluble vitamins. I liked using...

Good luck all, our temps went from mid 40s to -4(-26 currently with the windchill) here in PA. There’s ice on the inside of my windows lol. East coast is built solid though 💪.

The gutload image doesn’t mean that’s all you can use, it’s just a good guideline. Dill wouldn’t kill the crickets… Not saying this to argue with anyone, but just to save you the hassle of spending money on poor quality crickets.

Dill wouldn’t be a problem(in moderate amount), it’s been used before. Pesticides could do that, but the most likely is the crickets sucked. Guessing from a local pet store and not banded? Try banded crickets, they live forever lol.

Yeah I mean, I don’t know of any direct problems it’s caused. From what I’ve read, it’s mainly a concern with breeding and maybe with long term breaking down. Honestly, I don’t know a whole lot about it… just like to hear what other keepers are using and their experiences with it 👍 Anyway, cool...

Yeah and with how sensitive Cham eyes seem to be, that sap wouldn’t be a fun time To me it would make sense a leaf chomping animal(veileds) to be highly resistant to most plant toxins, like most herbivores. I totally understand and relate with not wanting to risk it though. I just like to...

I renounced my citizenship, too many shady people up there.

probably wouldn’t hurt, but probably not worth the money either. I doubt it has much/any effect on the color of a chameleon, but would add some nutritional variety if you weren’t gutloading well.

pretty guy there! Welcome!

Anyway, didn’t mean to take away from your post here. Getting a little off topic talking about frogs and crabs haha. I didn’t want my post to insinuate any issue with you doing this in your Cham setup, I think it’s really cool and I use foam myself for chams and have done bioactive enclosures...

There are loads of conversations on dendroboards about this, as foam is very toxic when curing and overtime will break down from UV/water/etc. a lot of people will seal with silicone to help prevent this. The concern isn’t as much about an immediate effect, like the animal dying, but could...

It’s about time they blacklist these Canadians

Was going to say, it looked like something dart keepers would do. Been considering something similar for vampire crabs, but I worry about the leeching of chemicals from foam. Not really a concern for chams/most reptiles, but in a semi aquatic/paludarium set up for inverts and amphibians… been...

Creative with the pvc! what kind of foam did you use?

looks like at least in the avatar of OP they have a veiled, in which case I would be more careful. Personally, with all the other stuff they eat (somehow ficus and pothos are fine), I’d have my doubts that this would cause them problems… however I’d agree to be on the safe side since it’s a less...

It’s nice to see someone actually looking into the toxin. Idk how many times I’ve posted on here to actually google what the toxin is rather than seeing toxic and slamming the book shut. Ficus, pothos, and many others we use are technically toxic in their own ways(oxalates, saps, etc) and would...

that’s free clean up crew food! (if you have bioactive)
