Well balanced meals!

[jamest0o0]

Thought I'd post a meal picture, for my cham. Feel free to share yours.

In the cup:
Adult female dubia
5 Red runners
Giant canyon isopod
Snail

He ate all of this within a few minutes. Held up the cup to him, he first took the female dubia, then the snail(was still in its shell not even moving lol), then isopod, finally all 4 runners

Red runners are great unless they escape and your trying to catch them. Damn those things are quick?

Thank you! Yes he loves red runners, they've been his staple for a little while now. Although in this heat, he eats pretty much any living thing that crosses his path. Tried to even shoot my finger.

Haha I know! They even jump. Gotta be careful with those guys

Man, that kid can eat! Jumping roaches would result in me throwing the cup and ending up with free range jumping roaches!

Tomorrow’s menu at my house is silkworms, a large grasshopper, bsfl, and a superworm. They all have baby mantids and flies loose in their cage right now.

Today's menu was:

5 small silkworms
2 superworms
2 BSFL
2 Surinam roaches

I'm looking forward to when I get to cut back on feeders!

How about when you stick your hand near them theyll all run up your arm so fast it's hard to get them off

I need to order some hornworms, bottleflies, bsfl, etc. Been a while since I offered anything outside of roaches with the occasional snail/isopod/superworm. He does get wild insects all day outside though.

Regarding red runners, their one saving grace is that they can't climb and they need moisture for their ooths to hatch. they aren't afraid to cross vaseline barriers unlike many other roaches. If they could climb they'd be hell to deal with. I've had similar species that could climb and I ended up getting rid of them. Just too much to deal with.

Where is a good place to order bottleflies? Want to get some for the mantids but it is so hot right now I'm hesitant to order.
It's a new one on me.

I get em from rainbowmealworms - they ship them with a cold pack in an insulated envelope.

Whole lotta nope from me on the jumping.

They won't jump out of a cup like crickets, but theyll jump from say a branch to another maybe an inch away. They're rascals, but the best cricket replacement I've found

Beman needs weight watchers for Veileds... Boy is stubborn as hell about dropping grams. PS horns must be more then just H20 sacks cause he made gains on the weeks I was giving 2-4 of them with his dubia.

That is what he tells me too as the fat gently puffs out the back of his casque

 

[Chameleomom]

@Beman is not fat... he is just fluffy

He is full of something that is for sure

Thanks, I really didn't plan on having these but they are kind of neat so think I'll keep em.
