how do you guys keep your cage floor dry? i have been thinking about this ever since i wanted a mistking. once i get mine, i am probably going to let the mistking run for a bit just so it can water my plants at the same time. i was wondering how you guys keep the bottom from being soaked. i dont...
how long does the premade silkworm chow last? i only wanted to buy 2 but i realized i should buy more since the shipping is so expensive. i plan to start breeding and it could take up to a month or 2 before i actually have silk worms from silk moths. i was also wondering if its better to get the...
ive been hand feeding cooper recently with silkworms and he doesnt trust me at first so he waits a while before actually taking it. i can see that he really wants to eat it cause he eyes it the whole time. this leads me to the question, does he salivate just like us when there is something tasty...

i was just wondering what methods some people used to gain the trust of their chameleon? whenever cooper sees me he runs away into his hiding spots and i can barely see him anymore. i know that chameleons fun loving animals who love to be held and stuff, but i was just wondering what is the best...
I don't understand why they keep dying. I provide them with food/water, plenty of ventilation, and an egg crate to hide in. What more do I need to do? I also dispose all the dead crickets to try and keep the tank clean. The dead ones smell really bad and the overall experience is starting to get...
