Is this worrisome? Noticed it about two weeks ago, still the same size.

Thanks. That was quick!

When we bought our carpet, the seller was nice enough to give me a ziploc full of water crystals to hydrate the crickets. It took me so long to use up the gallon that I've forgotten the amount to make another! Anyone know the recipe?

Please pardon my senior moment - we have a carpet cham, not a panther. Some of these hornworms look large enough to eat him! Thanks for the info, we'll give the advice a shot.

Bought a container of hornworms a few weeks ago - I think it's a pretty standard container from Mulberry farms. They told us they grow fast, they weren't kidding! Most are too big for our panther already. Can we leave them in that container to pupate? Will the moths be too big for the panther if...

Very nice OBT. I love those guys - I have 2.

I thought that they probably were, but we are still nervous parents. Hah!

Are silkworm moths safe? We have a bunch of "leftovers" from our silkworm feeders.

I have a 10 yr old African Grey - most sources say they live 50-65 years on average. It all depends on how well they are taken care of. All parrots are intelligent and require social interaction to be happy. If they aren't played with and provided interaction and toys, they can pine to death. In...

Let's see. We have the space and can afford another chameleon and any care that entails. We have had no problem keeping the carpet between 60-80% humidity. We live in the south bay of la, the temp here is very moderate, so it is easy to maintain temp or humidity by setting it up correctly...

We have had a carpet chameleon for almost 2 months, and he has been doing fine. So we think we can handle a second chameleon, what would you recommend? At this point, I am not sure we can handle more than 2 chameleons given that we have a lot of other pets. Your thoughts are appreciated...

Bumped and fixed the code...

Hi All- We just want to make sure our new carpet is okay. We are following all the advice we've gotten from Ryan, Dave and the SBCK. Thanks Mark & Rachel

Thanks everyone for the good advice. We would know in future not to buy from a pet store. We are still interested in the chameleons and will definitely try again. We are interested in going to the expo in Pomona and attending the socal society meeting so we can do it right this time:)

Thanks, Dave, for your willingness to help. Sadly, we were a little late, and HisNibs didn't make it. I am beginning to think that the problem may have been that he never got enough to eat. We thought that he looked a little thin, but we have no real basis for comparison. There were always...

Thanks to both of you for the input. I made an appointment with Dr. Stein. We really are responsible pet owners - the change in the cham was pretty sudden, and s/he is our first.

Any recommendations for a vet? I live in Lomita, CA - that's just south of LA very close to Long Beach.
