Has anyone ever tried feeding BSFL to one group of hatchlings and with another group of hatchlings with the traditional fruit flies/crickets method? There seems to be considerable advantages to BSFL when comparing BSFL to other feeders especially the calcium to phosphorus ratios. I would love to...

Just wanted to post this out there for anyone wanting to feed lots of black soldier flies to your chams. My BSFL all started to pupate and turn into flies. Perfect food for my chameleons. My large male chameleon eats them no problems and no issues. My two females, a young 4 month female and an...

How do you guys deal with live plants and feeders in enclosures? I have porthos, ficus, and umbrella plants. My crickets and dubias all seem to find really good hiding places under the pots, near the substrate, in cracks in between the plastic pot and substrate (especially dubias). I go into...

I wanted to post this as an info link for members to reference. An older link in older threads on the topic is no active. So here is the pdf link to the directions. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/kontyushigen1930/55/2/55_2_137/_pdf

I am seeking some advice from members who incorporate and keeping live plants alive in their enclosures. My chameleon room is in the basement that has no windows therefore no natural sunlight. I have put in a ficus in one enclosure and umbrella plants in the other two enclosures. I built these...

I am putting up a link to a spreadsheet I created for anybody who wants to venture into making their own DIY aluminum screen enclosures. Whatever size enclosure you want to create, put in the dimensions and it will give you all the pieces of the frame you need to cut. I created this mainly...

I am in the process of buying DIY window screen parts to make several enclosures and i've noticed some reputable breeders (Kammerflage being one of them) have been recommending 3 foot high enclosures. Whereas many others are recommending 4 foot high enclosures. Footprint area remains the same...

I notice my cham will strike and eat feeders when they are on sticks or leaves much faster than when the feeders are running around the bottom of a cup. So I thought about making a feeder cup where the roaches can climb up onto a branch and if it were to fall off it would fall back into the cup...

I'm looking to diy a bunch of enclosures and I am planning to use some sort of tray at the bottom to divert any water buildup. I have a plan on how to set this up but I'm just curious what do most DIYers use at the bottom?

I've decided to start a thread for all those who bought eggs from Matt Gorilla's Nosy Be clutch 2018-06-06. The classified thread specifically is this one https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/true-blue-nosy-be-eggs-for-sale-limited-availability.164187/ Lets hear how many eggs, what...

In many of the resource materials and various caresheets on sponsor's websites, I routinely see the number of crickets to feed for adults/juveniles per day (IE 10-12 medium crickets/day for 3-6 month juveniles), But what if we are feeding dubia, BSFL or BSF? I'm looking to see if anyboy knows...

Just wanted to put this idea put there for the community on a portable outdoor and possibly even a temporary indoor enclosure for juvenile chams. It's the Ikea Fyllen collapsible laundry basket that's made of fine aluminum mesh and the expanded dimensions is 18 inch diameter x 20 inch high. It...

Im planning to put my outdoor enclosure on my north facing desk that is covered. In the summer it will get partial direct morning and filtered evening sun. For the most part of the day it will be indirect sun. Is that enough uvb for the cham? Is there sufficient uvb from indirect sunlight...

For DIYers out there, what material and mesh size are you using for the tops of the enclosures to maximize uvb transmission? Are galvanized 1/2"x 1/2" square mesh safe? I also see vinyl square mesh of same size but I'm concerned the vinyl will become brittle with the uvb bulb directly on top of...

Hello I have a question for the experienced members on this forum. I'm a newbie to this forum and chams but not a stranger to reptiles. I currently keeping hermanns tortoises and burmese star tortoises. The two species are in separate enclosures as their requirements are quite different. My...
