    Camo finally laid 75 infertile eggs!

    Why is this so stressful for ME? She’s the one doing it! She is recovering and has eaten a leftover superworm I didn’t realize was in there from yesterday. It must have crawled out of the dish. she is definitely skinny! She went back down after getting a few drinks of water and a snack. I’m...

    Camo Update

    Camo had a clean fecal test today! Yay! Coccidia gone!!!!! She also had an X-ray and has many eggs not quite ready yet. We will be waiting for nature to take its course and hopefully she will lay in her bin with no problems. I’m thinking I will leave her in the small cage at least until she is...

    Camo has Coccidia...and I will be changing exotic vets!

    So when I couldn’t get Camo to eat any more than 3 crickets and 4 or 5 superworms in the past 2 weeks I knew something was wrong. Turns out it’s coccidia. o_OI’m glad I know what’s wrong and she is being treated, but DANG! I JUST FINISHED ALL THAT WORK ON HER ENCLOSURE! I’m guessing a total...

    Did some work on the enclosure...

    I added a couple of plants and finally put her ladder up. Excuse the screen on the outside. I know it looks crappy. We still have to put a small piece of trim around it to hide the staples.

    Feeding receptive/gravid female

    I have recently transitioned to feeding my ~7 month old female every other day. She is always a good eater! About a week ago she got her blue/yellow coloring. 3 days ago she abruptly stopped eating which I read was normal before laying eggs. I finally got her to eat 2 crickets today. My question...

    Do I need to buy the Springtail Food?

    Just wondering. I don't mind doing it, but don't want to waste my money if there is no need. I have in my "shopping cart" one culture from Josh's Frogs that says it should be enough for 2 or three terrariums. Is that enough? I have one large terrarium, but it has a LOT of soil since she will...

    Little Miss grumpy gave us a good scare!

    She was on her free range (tall fake ficus) while we were replacing the glass on the front of her enclosure with screen today. She crawled off and we didn’t see her. It took a while to find her but she finally emerged from under the bed unharmedo_O

    Camo’s new enclosure

    I had no idea how much more active she would be in a bigger cage. I hoped she would be a little more active, but she has really been all over checking it out! I feel so much better now that it is done! I do have a drainage issue to figure out since I was too scared to do bioactive and possibly...

    Enclosure Possibility

    I found this FREE on Facebook. Does it have potential for a good enclosure provided I screen the top, front, and sides? Any ideas. I was thinking of using “great stuff” for the back and either go bioactive or cutting a hole to fit a 5gal bucket for lay bin. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome...

    Undigested BSF larvae

    Every time I feed my 6 month old female veiled chameleon BSF larvae (small 1/4 inch), I find them undigested in her poop afterward. I feed at about 6:30 am. Yes, I am 100% sure that is what I am seeing. They come out looking exactly the way they did when they went in. I know this is gross...

    Best option for heating Dubai container?

    I would like to start breeding Dubai. I really don’t want to do this in my house, but I will if necessary since it is so cold out. What is the best way to heat the container to 90*? Ceramic heat emitter? Heat mat? Flood light on a thermostat? Any tips for successfully heating & breeding outside...

    Basking Temperatures for Female Veiled

    I have read the care sheet and the info on this forum specifically for veiled females. It seems like most keep their females at a slightly lower temp than males (82-85*) so that’s what I have been doing. I noticed that a Facebook group I belong to has a care sheet that says the complete...

    Is this ok for a laying bin?

    Until I finish building her a larger cage, I planted some live plants in her laying bin to save some room. Is that ok? They are planted on the outside edges. The bin is 15 inches wide so she still has room to dig. The bin is only 11inches tall though. I know 12 was the minimum suggested but...
