    What is a safe silicone spray sealant to make the enclosure of the china cabinet waterproof as I am making my chameleon a new enclosure?

    I would guess if it is marked food grade or for aquariums it's pretty inert and safe. Fish don't do well with chemicals either. Does it need to be silicone? I bet there's some stuff purpose built for reptile enclosures.

    Fungus gnats ,will mosquito bits help?

    Mosquito bits totally work for fungus gnats. I just sprinkle some right on top of the plant soil and they work when you water them. I haven't really had to re-apply after a year or more of doing it so far and we have probably upwards of 50 house plants including the ones in Mr Puff's habitat.

    New Wilbanks homeostatic incubators

    I hadn't considered the cooling part to drop below room temp. They do look pretty slick. It would be hard to match with the kit-bash list I was thinking of.

    Country wide shortage of distilled water???

    Has anyone had trouble running reverse osmosis water? I get about 10-18 ppm with my meter coming out of my system. I haven't had any issues yet, but my mist heads also come off pretty easy if i ever need to clean them with vinegar.

    New Wilbanks homeostatic incubators

    Holy smokes. The smallest one is a grand ($995). I've seen a lot of people successfully use plastic tubs and a closet or dresser drawer. I'm thinking this might be what I do if I ever decide to incubate some eggos with technology: Find an old dorm fridge or cabinet cut small holes for...

    How to get your chameleon to like dubia roaches [VIDEO]

    Thanks for this. I've been dealing with it for a few months now. The only way I've been able to get Mr. Puff to eat dubias anymore is to release them on a branch and chase them back and forth with the tongs and it can take a while. Otherwise he just sits and watches the dubias like TV for hours...

    Looking for branches for cage setup

    If you're interested in harvesting your own look for sticks and branches that have lost their bark or have easy to remove bark and vary the branch thickness so your guy has some perch options that fit his feets. My boy eats the bark and I heard that can be risky on this forum. I ended up using...

    Can Jamaican field crickets eat dill?

    That's surprising. I thought crickets could consume just about anything. I've even seen them stand over a line of small ants eating them as they walk by. Dill sounds like an easy one to replace, but have you had any success with crickets eating just the bee pollen? If not, I'd do another test...

    My Chameleon will only drink water from spray bottle.

    Heh. This is great. I rarely ever see Mr. Puff drink and I'm always concerned for his hydration. Though he wouldn't have made it this far if he wasn't drinking secretly and his doos have a nice flat white colored urate. I tried to use a spray bottle several times and he acts like it's acid.

    fungas gnats

    We use mosquito bits or dunks to keep them out of our house plants. It's supposed to be safe for wildlife and pets. It contains some kind of bacteria that kills the larvae. It also kills fungus gnats (white flies). You can sprinkle them onto the soil and it works when you water or mix it in with...

    Disgusting YouTube video...

    Looks like that youtube poster is getting roasted in the comments. Nearly 100% of them are about how the cham is being mistreated. I would guess the poster doesn't know anything about chams or reptiles. If they didn't know before, they should know now.

    Tongue shooting

    I've seen my cham miss when he's not super interested in the food especially with dubias holding still in his feeding bowl. He'll just sit there and stare at them for several minutes at a time and maybe throw a half power tongue at them once in a while as if he's just playing with his food. If...

    Little flies - how to get rid of them?

    You can try mosquito dunks or bits. It kills fungus gnats too if that's what you have. It contains some kinda bacterial mosquito and fungus gnat larvae killer. We put bits in our potted plants to keep from breeding mosquitos and it seems to keep the pesky tiny flies from reproducing. It says...

    How soon to gutload bugs before feeding?

    I usually keep at least baby carrot or 2 in with the bug foods. The carrots don't dry out so quickly as the other veggies and keeps the bugs very hydrated. The dubias are especially juicy and you can see all the awesome juice while your cham chomps them up. In turn helps you get a well hydrated...

    Cameras

    These are cheap security cams: https://www.wyze.com/ They're designed to work with a phone app, though I've seen some work-arounds to get them to work like a webcam. The setup to do that might be challenging.
