    US Grapevine for sale?

    A while back, there was discussion about grapevines, I think some wanted to buy some? Well, I'm clearing a ton out right now, soooooo... If there is still interest, let me know :cool:.

    What will we run out of next? Finding alternatives?

    First it was toilet paper (which actually has only been around for ~140 years), milk (which was actually on the shelves Monday!), masks (should only be used if you are ill, and is causing a shortage for health workers ?), soaps (I make my own, no worries there), and of course sanitizer... and...

    Ruminating on •edible?• local insects

    During my little walkabout, I noticed more butterflies are out, and so are the ticks. Of course, now that I am owned by a Cham (veiled), the first thing I thought when I picked the tick off, was - I wonder if she can eat this? It gets me to wondering, what other indigenous bugs could be...

    Where DO parasites come from?

    I was thinking about this... Two parasite free chameleons make babies. Babies should be free, even those hatched from eggs, right? Does a parasite infection come from their food? If so, then is it bad husbandry on the part of the *food* breeders? From the air that they breath? From their...

    Starving, or glutenous pig? ?

    According to the tons of reading, at her age (just over 5 mo., I think) she should be getting approx. 12-15 medium sized crickets per day... - not an "all you can eat buffet" In addition, she nibbles her plants - kale, collards, pothos (not as much as the veggies), and umbrella tree. She also...

    Parrot/parakeet cages for outside?

    As I have a variety of these cages, is there any reason why she (veiled chameleon) should *not* be allowed outdoor time in these? She will be big enough to not escape by the time the weather is good enough for this. As for any insects escaping, the game plan is to take her outside after...

    Planting trees and harvesting bugs?

    I'm planting some fruit trees, and I know I will find a plethora of insects and snails in my pasture, from mealworms to earthworms, crickets, grubs, pill bugs, and these weird looking small black roaches. Are all of the above edible for a veiled chameleon? For the record, her current diet is...

    Gut loading meal worms

    The feeding guide frowns on corn, so I guess no corn meal, however neither oats nor bran are listed. At the moment my worms are in oats, which is the better? Is there an alternative to these meal choices? I have wild harvested oat as well as the store bought, just looking for the best for the...

    Calcium source

    Looking for vitaminless calcium, I came across Thrive brand, supposedly for hermit crabs, and other shelled critters. Is this ok for the chameleon? I couldn't find a value of phosphorus, so not sure if it's in there or not. Another alternative I'm thinking of, is eggshells... Does anyone know...

    Calcium without D3... Is Thrive, a good one? And, what about egg shells?

    Looking for vitaminless calcium, I came across Thrive brand, supposedly for hermit crabs, and other shelled critters. Is this ok for the chameleon? I couldn't find a value of phosphorus, so not sure if it's in there or not. Another alternative I'm thinking of, is eggshells... Does anyone know...

    Calcium in water?

    Does anyone add the calcium powder to the water? If so, how much to mix in? The thought only occurred to me last night when I saw dried white droplets on the glass of the pet store chameleon's tank. Mine will drink from a handheld water bottle, so..... I would certainly be able to monitor the...

    It all began with a 'First Contact'

    Some 30+ years ago, there was contact (reference Jaime Lee Curtis in the movie Fierce Creatures, when she meets the gorilla). Fast forward to this last Christmas, a gift in the form of a chameleon was received, and the frenzied research began. It was on the internet, it MUST be TRUE! Right? How...
