Anyone here have a reliable, clean source for Dubia's?
I need to find an alternate source as my primary (Josh's frogs) does not appear to have anything larger than 1/4" for sale these days. I'm wanting Sherman to step up to 1/2" size Dubia's but have not seen them available on the Josh's Frog...
Ok, please don't laugh.
I buy crickets about every other week for my boy Sherman. They come in a box, 250 or more at a time.
I keep them in this: https://www.joshsfrogs.com/exo-terra-cricket-pen-large.html
The problem is getting them from the box to the keeper. I always have several...
First off I want to say that I LOVE Josh's Frogs and use them for my feeders and other needs for my Cham! They have the best customer service and quality feeders!!
However, I received a letter in the mail from them stating that their systems were hacked and credit card information stolen. I...
:cool:We have a small problem with large carpenter ants this year at my home. Before they get worse and I spray the beginning of the infestation, are they good for Chams to eat?
These are nice large black ants. They don't seem to bite and rather tame.
Do I :
Spray them and kill them
Throw...
Is there such a thing? I don't recall my other Cham doing what my Sherman is doing now. The little turd is driving me nuts (But I love him! :love:)
Here is a short list of what he is doing:
Out of the blue he's starting to crawl down to the bottom of his enclosure. No big deal you say...
I know some people Mist and other also use a fogger to keep humidity up, but how do you get rid of excessive humidity? Has anyone tried "active" de-humidification?
In an enclosure or terrarium, I wonder how something like the below would work in maintaining a lower humidity (or at least keep...
As my Cham grows, I want to be sure his terrarium décor does as well. One of the things I did day one when I realized how small he actually was to add "age appropriate braches" for his little feet to grip.
Compared to how big a Chams feet are, or how far around he can grab a branch, what would...
As the title suggests, I'm wondering if Dubia and crickets can be kept in the same container.
I am not looking to breed either feeder.
I am looking at keeping primarily nymphs and 1/2" banded crickets only
I plan on gut loading them the same

I have been fighting a battle with humidity every day in my terrarium that is filled with live plants. I have removed plants, trimmed plants back, raised and lowered them but the end result is the same High humidity (80-90%) for hours that will not dissipate.
I installed this at the top of the...
So... I'm going to attempt to smuggle in some Dubia "beetles" to gut load and feed my Cham. How do I prevent them from breeding or will this happen regardless?
I've had crickets breed and I notice it when I have medium crickets and I find several tiny little ones that weren't in there...
I'm looking for two books:
I'm looking for informative books on Chams that explore the physical characteristics, skeletal, nervous system and other aspects of the biology. I see several books that seem to be geared towards care and breeding, but nothing about the science behind the animal.
I'm...
Can super worms be gut loaded like crickets to make them more nutritious for a Cham? And can they be dusted with calcium or other supplements? I just got some and I'm not sure what to feed them. They came in some sort of a powdery substance - is this their food?
I feed my 6 month old Cham...
Does anyone know of a timer that:
Has one master clock
Control 3 or more outputs individually
Each output
Controllable for day off the week
Programmable for any on time
Programmable for any off time
I was excited to find this at a good price...
Does anyone know the thickness of the clear material used in these cages? Usually measured in "Mil's".
I asked on the thread that Dragon Strand Tread here:

but got no reply from Bill. I'm...
My little Sherman has graduated from 1/4" feeder crickets to 1/2" feeder crickets. I am "powdering" them daily a widely accepted regime of calcium w/out D3 as well as with D3 and a multivitamin. (Can't wait for the Repashy Calcium Plus to arrive to simplify this!)
I feed him 10-15 powdered...
I was low on crickets this morning (my overnight shipment is due at any time) and so I was looking thru my supplies and found some super worms. I was trying to size one up and get a small one for him, so I had a few in my hand. I did something stupid, I held them up to him to see which one I...
In our attempt to make a our loved pets feel more at home we control their environment in many ways so that it closely mimics that of their home lands. This has many proven health benefits and maybe some other not so quantifiable ones such as making them happy.
So what about sounds? Our pets...
Those of you who have a very tame Cham who is not afraid to be held or doesn't run from you I have a question:
When he(or she) was young, did their enclosure have a lot of hiding places? My terrarium is very "plush" with many plants and leaves. I lose him in it daily because he is so small...
Just bought and installed a mist king in my Panthers terrarium. He's very afraid of it.
When I first got him. he spent a lot of his time on the top of the screen, he has since stopped, but as soon as the mister comers on he runs straight to the top screen.
I assume this is normal, but...
I hear/read that Calcium without D3 every day is good, while with D3 should be every other week. This seems to be the accepted norm.
Now my little Cham, Sherman doesn't always eat all his crickets when dusted. Not a big deal. But I find once they are dusted they don't seem to survive long if...
