Does anyone know if this guy is toxic? I have a bunch of them in my yard today.

I just unpacked my silkworm eggs. Are they supposed to be kept in the refrigerator? Also the instructions say they need to be kept 78 to 82 degrees for hatching. Do you guys use incubators? How are you maintaining that temp?

I walked into the room my Cham is in and he was eating the bendy vine! He was chewing and quickly swalloed the Leicester before I could open the enclosure. He's 8 months and I've never seen him eat plants. I usually give him a two silkworms around 8am but I ran out yesterday. I was running late...

Think this is ok to feed?

Any ideas how to keep my guy off the screen? I had hoped he would outgrow the habit. It doesn't happen as much now that he's in his large enclosure but he still does it. His enclosure is pretty heavily branched. He's about 7 1/2 months and I'm worried as he gets bigger that his own weight will...

I'm looking into building a large outdoor enclosure. I'd like to do it with hardware cloth because it is going to be inside my pool cage (Florida people will understand) and I don't want to block out more UVB. What do all the Florida people do about the small wild lizards. My guy will stalk them...

I noticed this dark spot on the left of my Chams nose today. I tried to get a better picture but he's afraid of my phone. Any ideas?

I love to use hibiscus in my enclosure but I've noticed my plants really decline once I cant fertilize them. Is there any kind of fertilizer that is safe? Worm castings? Fish fertilizer? Any ideas?

Can I feed this to my Cham? These are all over the place in my yard all of the sudden. Looks like a small butterfly. About an inch long maybe slightly larger.

Is there anyway to keep a Cham off the screen? I've had Elvis in his new Dragonstrand big boy enclosure for a few days now. He doesn't climb on the screen as much as in his smaller enclosure but he still does it. I'm might be imagining it but I feel like the screen is a finer mesh? I'm probably...

A few days ago Someone was asking me about blue bottle flies. I find myself explaining this process a lot. I told them I would make a video but I can't remember what thread it was. I hope this works because I wasn't quite sure how to post a video. I will post releasing the hatched flies...

I now have a nice little discoid colony going. I think Elvis is afraid of them. He doesn't normally cup feed but I was afraid I'd loose them so I placed a few in a dish on the bottom of the enclosure. He watched them for awhile but eventually they stopped moving. I would mix them up every once...

Ok, I recently acquired some green banana roaches ( thank you Nick ). How are you supposed to dust these slippery suckers. I only managed to get one in the cage and two flew away. I was sensible enough to do this outside the first time. One of the two that flew away landed on the outside of...

I'm putting together Elvis's big boy cage but all the branches won't fit in the oven. What's the best way to sanitize them? Bleach? Vinegar? I'm not sure what would be safe but still get the job done.

I just fed my cham a dragonfly that flew inside my house. It was on the window trying to get out so I scooped him up with every intention of releasing him. I walked outside and my cham was in his sunning cage. Before I could talk myself out of it I popped it in the cage. He zapped that thing so...

Has anyone used the large milkweed bug as a feeder? The one raised in captivity on sunflower seeds so they are not toxic. I was thinking of trying these and I was wondering if anyone had experience keeping them.

Elvis is 6 months old and I thought it was time to start is bigger enclosure. I have a large keeper cage from Dragonstrand on its way. I've heard other members complain about the shipping costs for Dragonstrand which are staggering. I urge anyone interested to contact Bill Strand personally. He...

What kind of bug is this? I've seen them on my screens the past few days. Is this a cicada? I want to breed them if it is.

I'm not sure I'm putting this in the correct forum but... I have 8 hornworms that have gotten to big for my 6 month old Panther. Is anyone in the Daytona Beach area interested in them? I'd love to work a trade for a few roaches. I've never tried roaches so I'd like to see if my Cham will eat...

My 5 month old panther has stopped eating crickets. I have been feeding him silkworms, hornworms, Phoenix worms, blue bottle flies and the occasional butter worm. Is this sufficient? Do the b b flies count for chitin? I was gut loading and dusting the crickets. I assume if I try to dust the...
