Besides my veiled cham eating less now that he's older (just about a year old now), he is also showing less interest in the dubia roaches. As a result, my supply of roaches that I keep in a storage bin has many that have "aged out of the program"! That is to say they've turned into adults and...

Knowing how important calcium is, can eggshells be used in the gutloading process?? Was wondering if dubia roaches or crickets might consume them. I’ve become so conscious of vegetable scraps that are thrown away in my kitchen and keep grabbing them for gutloading and eggshells crossed my mind...

I discovered all of these under a feeding dish in my dubia roach bin. After a quick internet search, I believe them to be dermestid beetle larvae but would love confirmation from others. I do know there are some dermestids beetles in my bin, especially after the new fresh supply of roaches I...

I just installed a Mistking system on my enclosure, and was watching YouTube videos on setting it up and came across this one where he used some sort of floating water sensor that he drops in the water bucket, which notifies him when he's run out of water. I assume it works off Bluetooth or...

I have a misting dilemma!! When I put together my new 2X2X4 enclosure recently, I already had a relatively new Exo Terra Monsoon Solo II, and couldn't quite justify the additional cost to upgrade to Mistking (as much as I want one!!). I also have a fogger for overnight humidity (so that's not...

I have the following 3 lights on my enclosure: - Basking: Fluker's clamp lamp 150 watt w/ 75 Exo Terra bulb - UVB: Arcadia ProT UVB 12% - Plant/LED: Arcadia Jungle Dawn 22.5" 34 watt The basking light is on for part of the day (first to turn off towards the end of the day), but with both the...

Just sharing. Yesterday I noticed the tiniest spot on my Cham’s face which just looked like dry skin. This morning his face started shedding and by this afternoon his entire body looked like he was dressing up as a mummy for Halloween!! And I just saw him rubbing against a branch. First time...

I'm curious how well your chams try to hide. I just moved my juvenile VC into his new enclosure 5 days ago, and even though it's got lots of plants to hide in/around he's been staying out in the open on branches - until today!! Just after lights out, I peeked in to see if he had settled on a...

I know the standard light schedule is 12 on/12off, but more specifically I'm curious WHICH 12 hours everyone keeps their lights on. I've seen recommended schedules of 7a-7p, but was wondering if anyone is doing 8a-8p or even 9a-9p or later? The selfish kid in me wants to go 9a-9p so I get the...

I'm considering installing a camera to monitor my chameleon. I've seen various posts recommending the Wyze brand. V2 seems economical enough while still providing a lot of great features. V3 seems to be a step up, but both require being plugged in. And there is now a Wyze Outdoor version...

Today is the day I finally got to move my veiled chameleon into his new enclosure!! Meet Fidji and his new home!! I’m still planning to add some small orchids when I can find some, but otherwise I feel his new home is complete. It’s a Dragon Strand Tall Hybrid with Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED...

I'm assembling a new enclosure using the Dragon Strand Tall Hybrid - the one with PVC walls. I'm trying to install a Monsoon Solo misting system where the nozzles have suction cups to attach to the walls (see pics). I have additional suction cups for the tubing down the back of the cage, none...

I was looking into recipes to create my own roach chow, and more than one recipe called for straight calcium powder (nothing extra like D3 and other vitamins). For all the other ingredients, they keep saying you can get the cheapest version of each at the local dollar store, etc. So of course...

Can anyone confirm if the Reptile Expo is on this weekend in Hamburg PA? It shows advertised on their website so I assume it’s happening but with social distance conditions. Anyone going? I’m only 45 minutes away and this would be my first time ever at one of these events.

I'm using both dry cricket crack and fresh veggies/greens for my feeder gutloading, but I don't see much of any of it being consumed. The dry stuff doesn't disappear and the fresh veggies/greens tend to shrivel up and dry long before being eaten. I'm curious about others experiences and tricks...

I wanted to give a shout-out to Full Throttle Feeders for excellent customer service! I recently ordered one of their ingenious feeder cups and although they shipped it within 24 hours of placing my order, the shipment got stuck along the way in the USPS system. Once they were made aware of...

I ordered a supply of dubia roaches online yesterday, but it took me several attempts to find a vendor with available inventory. Just wondering if feeder supplies tend to ebb and flow like this or is there something specific going on such as weather, pandemic, etc. that is causing the lack of...

Can someone explain the difference between Repashy Calcium Plus and Repashy Calcium Plus LoD? Are they interchangeable? I started out with Calcium Plus and then after learning I needed to rotate my supplement schedule with something containing D3, I purchased Calcium Plus LoD - only to realize...

I'm putting together my first large enclosure (DS 2X2X4) and will be using an existing Monsoon Solo2 mister (at least until I can justify an upgrade to Mistking!!). I also want to include a drinking source perhaps by using the Mistking rain dome. But I feel like the schedule for misting should...

I'm anxiously awaiting my new Dragon Strand Tall Hybrid 2X2X4 enclosure. I want to order a background for the back wall to give a bit more color to the plain white walls. Can someone else with this same cage please tell me the actual measurements of the PVC on the back wall? I assume the...
