As I was re organizing my sauna (Yes I use a sauna for a bug room lol) I calculated I had enough space for 5 more species of roach. I did some research and some browsing on http://www.roachcrossing.com/. What I was thinking were the following species. I tried to choose four larger species and...

I'm finally back after a long trip, and my new cage's drainage didn't work. It is comprised of two individual pvc pipes. These run around 2" up into the cage and about 6" under it. The hole around the pipes is sealed with Great Stuff. The leak wasn't huge, it was just a small drip, but this will...

Hi! I've run in to a problem with my feeders. I had a GBR that was doing extremely well, wasn't fed off, but got overrun by the darkling beetles that I used for cleaner crews. Fed Clay the last GBR yesterday :(. Anyways, since I now have a free heat pad and bin. I want something that I can have...

Hi! I'm a little new to handling my cham, and I've encountered something odd. I usually take my veiled out maybe every three days or so for sun in the morning. During these outings, he likes to try and jump off my arm. I don't think it is the feeling of being unsafe for a few reasons. One, he...

I went to my city's botanical garden today to look for inspiration for new plants. I saw a bat flower, which looked really cool and is available to me for purchase online. I have attached a picture, keep in mind my cage is 6 ft by 3 ft. Has anyone ever had experience with this plant? I would...

Hi everyone! As some of you may know from my past threads about my summer project, I am building a large bioactive cage for my Veiled. I am almost ready to start construction, and I wondered what anyone else with experience building cages can help me with. I was going to use pressure treated...

Hello! In this thread I am going to be logging anything to do with the cage build for my young Veiled, Clay. I will be logging my progress, purchases, and milestones for the cage, similar to the Epic Parsonii Build (which was the inspiration for this cage). You can find the basic overview of the...

I recently started planning out the plant side of my 6ft wide by 3ft deep by 6ft tall bioactive enclosure, and came across a bunch of websites that sold seeds, which I was already planning on growing, for tropical plants. I will include a list of the ones I am looking at/ will choose. If anyone...

I recently bought a Nepenthes (Hybrid) pitcher plant for my cage. I have a bit of a fruit fly problem, as it is spring in Nebraska and just starting to warm up. So far, my chameleon (3.5 m/o male veiled from flchams) has been very curious about it, thankfully not trying to eat any pitchers...

Hi! I am going to upscale my current 24x24x48 screen cage to a large DIY cage (Dimensions later). I am going to make it bioactive and full of live plants, because I personally feel that a 2 foot cham will eventually get tired of a 2 foot cage. To clarify, Clay, my cham, is a male veiled, about 3...

Hi! I currently have 3-3.5 M/o old veiled (3-3.5 is my best guess since he is just getting his stripes and I bought him from flchams 2 weeks ago 2-3 m/o). He is in a 2x2x4 reptibreeze with good lighting and tons of foliage. However, he was very shy from the start. Since I've passed the 2 week...

I got my baby Veiled (2-3mo) a week and 2 days ago. I noticed that the highest branches weren't really close enough to get in range of the Reptisun 10.0 compact mini that I have. So, I installed a new branch that gets a lot closer. My cham seemed to like it, and was even basking on it when he...

Hi! I have a 2-3 month old veiled in my care and all he eats currently are dubia. He seems to like them, but I know that veileds get bored really easily when it comes to food. I wanted to branch out a bit (no crickets, never again) possibly into green banana roaches. If an experienced GBR or...

Hey guys! I just received an order from Josh's Frogs to start my breeding colony of dubia. I just wanted to check up on my care, I don't want anything to go wrong! I bought 4 male and 12 female adults, as well as 25 3/4 inch nymphs that are in a bin together. I also ordered 25 baby dubia to feed...

Ok so I just got my Veiled Chameleon from flchams in the mail today. He is a 2-3 month old from the Naval bloodline. Right off the bat, he wouldn't go in the basking spot. Is he just hiding? Should I try and get him to go and bask or is he fine? Also, when should I feed him? I have baby dubia...

I recently got Repashy Calcium+ for my baby Veiled. Do I need to use vitamins with it at all, and if so for how long?

Hi! I am going to get my first chameleon in 3 days, from FLchams. It will be a Veiled Cham, and I'm not quite sure what bloodline to choose from yet. That said, does anyone have a baby from Naval or Jethro they could send a pic of? Thanks!

Hi! I'm getting my first chameleon (2-3 Month Veiled from Flchams) in a few days and I had a few questions before I'm ready to put him in his cage. Here is an overview of what my husbandry will be like: Cage Cage is a 2x2x4 Reptibreeze XL. Lighting includes a 75w Repti Basking Spot...
