Does anyone have a written guide for how to keep crickets alive? I can't keep 100 crickets alive for more than 4 or 5 days and honestly they live just fine in my garage because it seems that any that have gotten out have been breeding and living their best life in my garage. How big of a...

I want to get my guy checked for parasites... But I can't seem to find any fresh sample. By the time I find it it's dry and won't be a viable sample. Is it possible to get a broad spectrum parasite treatment or do I absolutely need a fecal first? I feed my guy a lot and I feel like his fat...

Hey everyone! Saw one of these in another thread and it's something I've been wanting for awhile so I spent the $26 (at the time of writing this) on the reptizoo PID dimming thermostat. I've only had it plugged in for 2 days now but it works and I have the probe next to my govee temp sensor...

Would love to add silk worms into the rotation but most suppliers I've found are all east coast and I'd prefer not to pay for overnight / 2 day shipping. Anyone know of any west coast suppliers?

9 month old panther for reference. So I have my cage set up so the closest branch to the basking bulb is about 8in and about 82degrees at the highest point. My chameleon likes to hang out on the screen, upside down, under the basking lamp and plant light depending on his mood. There is no...

I've had him since July 25th and he hatched Early May so he is 4months old now. This was his first shed since I've had him and there is some stuck shed around his eyes. Should I intervene or give it a few more days. He shed August 13th

OK so I've asked before and did some research with adding irrigation drip emitters to my mist king to keep my plants watered. Well, I recently had an opportunity to redo my enclosure and I took it as chance to experiment with adding an emitter and individual drip lines. I have 2 mist nozzles...

Chameleon Info: • Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Hatched May 7th and I got him on Tuesday July 25th • Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I've been trying to let him settle in but I've "saved" him from the top...

I've seen the info graphic from chameleon academy and ready/listen to the podcast about it but I've not adopted it... I'm still doing a mist before lights on, a few minute mist late morning, and then a mist about am hour before lights off. I saw @Gingero video the other day and she lists...

Got my new little man today! Here's hoping he lives a long and healthy life! Looking forward to him getting some color as I already see some popping through! Hatched may 7th so it's just under 3 months! Thanks to @Camiezone for sending him my way and @MissSkittles for pointing out the...

I was looking to get another chameleon and the prices are so high!!! I have purchased from a breeder in the past who is a sponsor here and they were always a premium but not sure if I can afford from them this time around. It's a bummer because I have all the case and infrastructure but I...

OK everyone, looking for some insite and some new ideas. I've attached a picture of my enclosure and despite the half alive plants and branch setup... since that will all Probably change, what would be part of you're ideal enclosure? my chameleon passed today and I'm not sure why so to combat...

He ate his meal on Monday of 5 Dubias and then on Friday I went to feed him again and I noticed he more or less ignored his food. Yesterday morning I noticed he was not really moving around and caught him sleeping mid day but no tail curl just eyes closed. Today he seems even worse off as...

So I use the 6% 24in bulb from Arcadia in their fixture. It's probably just over a year old now but my solar meter reads less than or equal to 2.1 at his normal basking spot and obviously it tapers down further into the enclosure. Should I replace it? Have they needed replaced and I just...

MODS if this is not allowed please delete and I apologize in advance. Just want to help someone who maybe wanted an upgrade or didn't have money for these quality bulbs and fixture! ************* I had a 4ft wide enclosure for.my chameleon for 3 months and then found out the room where the...

OK my boy hatched in May 2021 so that makes him almost 2 now and he's been a really decent shedder every time. This time was different. As you can see from the pictures he only seems to have shed half of it. It's been about 3 days since the event. Feed 5 dubias every 3 days, just recent...

I was thinking about getting a crested gecko or a gargoyle gecko after seeing them all the reptile super show in southern California yesterday however I resisted the urge to impulse buy one. I've had a few in the past, they didnt live more than a year, I've learned a lot, but is there a...

Like the title says; due to cage design and not really wanting to care and feed another type of bug, I need to get rid of about 50 Black soldier flies. I currently have them in the freezer in a zip lock... I don't want to release them obviously outside. Will 24hrs be sufficient to kill them...

Are there any good guides or websites or even youtube videos of how to keep and care for dubia's? I know the basics and I have a reproducing colony but I'd like some more information and nuance. Thanks!

So I have a 18 month old male panther who up until today has been super active. I've been waiting a week for dubias to come back in and I fed him last week two 1in (I'd say very large) gut loaded dubias. Today he ate 8 dubias (also gut loaded over night with bug burger) and after that is...
