Mel is approaching his 1 year hatch day. He was 125 gm yesterday. I had him outside for the beginning part of the summer and he was packing on 10 gm a week but now that it's 90+ degrees every day he's back inside, however, I will take him back out once the heat breaks. His attitude was...
I finished Mel's outside enclosure. I rigged up my Climist at my front door and ran tubing across my yard to his condo to make sure he gets misted A LOT while he's outside for for the summer. It gets hot and humid here so I'm trying to compensate by giving him more frequent mistings. He was...
It was jokinly suggested that members that engage in inappropriate conduct would be taken to lizard jail. I'm thinking that @Decadancin, @Brad, and @Chris Anderson would be the cham police. I would like to discuss lizard jail. what lizards would perform each job?What is lizard jail like? How do...
Does anyone know about using this as a feeder? I have a dubia colony and was thinking about starting an orange head colony but stumbled across this roach. It doesn't climb and can breed as low as 68 degree. Plus it's adorable.
Feel free to add or edit. Let's see where this goes. There's so many threads about poor husbandry and idk why my cham died, I didn't do any research or listen to any of the suggestions I received. It's aggravating so I wrote this.
Why did my cham die?
I swear I really did try.
I put it in a...
Someone local is selling them cheaply. I can get 3 females and 1 male for $10. All full grown. I was thinking about starting a colony. As they breed and hatch, I could use the various sizes to feed to my various chams. I have dubia too and know how nutritious they are as a feeder. I'm wondering...
This is Slim Jim after some rehab time with me. He wastes no time in trying to attack me as soon as I open the door

This is Hatch. He came to me today. He's approximately 3 years old. Weight 202 gm. Grip isn't the best and slightly shaky when he walks. He's in the shower now.
I've had Mel almost 2 weeks. He's 3 gm and loves houseflies. I'll be posting his progress as he grows in this thread. I'm looking forward to watching him grow up and I can't thank @jpowell86 for doing such a wonderful job hatching this baby.
This is Cam. She's a little over a year old. I weighed her today and she was 121 gm. I don't feel any eggs in her but I always have a lay bin ready just in case.
Ok so long story short I spilled my water reservoir to my mister yesterday, turned on my space heater in my chams room to dry the carpet. Told my mom to turn the heater off a little bit later for me. I worked last night and wasn't home. For whatever reason, she forgot and it ran all night when...
I just bought a climist. It was a good deal, $109, shipping including, and with the buyer protection on my credit card I have an extended warranty on it. Looks the same as a MK and I'm willing to give it a try. Not looking to start a debate. They gave me a coupon code to share at checkout so...
