    Breeding silkworms!

    Hi all, I am trying to hatch my first batch of silkworm eggs. I had a bunch of silkworms who turned into moths and laid eggs back in August. The eggs spent a week or 2 at room temperature, then I put them in the fridge for a month, and now for like 2 weeks I've kept them in a small exo terra...

    So I've been reading about Bioactive enclosures today and it sounds like a great idea, mainly because it would make my life so much easier in terms of cleanup. From my research, these are the main pros and cons I came up with so far: pros: once established, does not require cleaning other than...

    Thick stringy saliva and trouble eating! :(

    Over the last days Lenny seemed to have decreased appetite for crickets, he used to love hunting them but now doesn't bother, he still eats from the cup but a lot less than he used to and kind of stays in one spot and won't eat unless I put the cup really close to him, he would sometime try...

    Parasites again! :( Can I still save the plants?

    Hi fellow chameleon lovers, Today I found some string-like transparent thingies in my chameleon's poop (he's a male veiled about 5 months old), and I'm pretty sure it's some kind of worms, nematodes maybe. Surely, I am taking him to the vet tomorrow and will bring the poop sample for...

    Possible shampoo ingestion? Please help I'm freaking out

    Hi all, so it's 3 a.m. and I just realized 2 things: 1 - I became addicted to posting on this forum every time I feel uncertain, and 2 - I am extremely paranoid and have great talent in imagining all kinds of horrible outcomes. So, this just happened: I was transporting crickets from the small...

    Which reptile to get for a 45x45 cm terrarium?

    My veiled boy Leonard quickly outgrew his "baby" terrarium and now has a proper-sized enclosure. Now i am left with a 45x45 cm Exo Terra terrarium and wondering whether to give it away or get another animal for it. My boyfriend wants a spider but I am not a big fan, and would prefer a reptile...

    Killing bugs in outdoor wood??

    Hi all, so I found some great looking branches in the park which I want I put in my vieled's enclosure. At the moment he only has some plants and sticks from the reptile expo in there, which are not long enough to provide for his comfortable movement around the enclosure. When I started cutting...

    Pilea plant for chameleons?

    I have just discovered this cool plant (full name pilea peperomioides), and thought it would look great in my vieled's enclosure. I haven't found any info whether it's safe for chameleons or not (maybe just didn't look well enough). Does anyone have experience with it?

    Is this ok for ventilation?

    Hi, so I found this company that makes custom made terrariums for a really good price. Their works look great except for they only use these metal panels with holes for ventilation, not screen. I live in Europe so have cold climate and low humidity, therefore I was planning to get a glass...

    Building an enclosure for male veiled

    So I just found out that my chameleon is a male, which means he will get bigger soon, and I need to get him a new enclosure asap. The shops in my area offer maximum height of 90 cm (35 inches) which I think is too small, so I'm planning to order a custom built one. Which dimensions would be...

    Keeping females from laying eggs with temperature regulation

    I read on one blog that it's possible to keep females from laying infertile eggs by keeping a certain diet and lower temperatures. This sounds great as I'd like my baby to not have this stress and live a longer life, and reduce health risks such as egg binding. She is only 4 months now and...

    Crickets escaping and ruining my life!

    Hi guys, I'm wondering where you all keep your crickets. I had one of those regular cricket pen boxes but the crickets keep escaping from the air holes or somewhere I don't know but they at running around the apartment and I'm afraid I'll have to call pest control services if they reproduce too...
