Mountain View Area Anyone?

[PabloTheCham]

I was wondering if anyone is in south bay, preferably near mountain view. I was thinking we could buy more feeders wholesale and split them to save money, my feeder costs are kind of adding up

 

[PabloTheCham]

Nobody? ?

 

[AmandaS]

Thats a good idea, dude.

I do not live close. But you have a good idea.

That's some good stoner logic there... buy a lot cheap and split it

Sorry i dont live there.

I live in the valley but I always buy in bulk because I have so make reptiles to feed. This is also why I started breeding my own roaches and superworms.

You could start breeding a small colony of roaches to cut costs. Learning how to breed your own silkworms is also a good way. Is a little hard to get started and figuring out what works best, but is well worth it.

Yeah.... That's how it came to my mind XD
But more weight is more time

My cham doesn't eat roaches
The reason I haven't started breeding silkies is because they needa lot of things.... at least it seems like they need a lot of care requirements. You need an incubator, mulberry leaves, and a lot of time. Is it really like this or is it easy to breed them?

I somehow ended up with lots of heat mats, so I sit the eggs I’m hatching on a lower wattage one (with a deli lid or two between so I don’t bake them). I buy powdered chow off eBay and make smaller batches from it rather than the whole package. Once or twice a day I check to see if the eggs have hatched and give bits of fresh chow if they have. Once a bit bigger, I check them daily and every couple of days give them fresh chow and clean the poop. I try to hatch more eggs than I think I’ll need so I can let a couple of dozen silkies cocoon and provide new eggs. *not all of the eggs may hatch, not all of the babies will survive, not all of the silkies will cocoon and not all of the cocoons will hatch.
Like I said, is hard to get started and figure out a routine. Once you get past that, it’s pretty easy.

OK! I will give it a shot sometime. Don't you need a crap ton of silkies judging how fast chams mow through them?
