Much depends on how large of a breeding colony of roaches you have. Generally it’s about 5+ females per 1 male ratio and you’ll want at least a couple of males. If you get any extra, you may be able to sell them to fellow reptile keepers in your area, or maybe even a locally owned pet store. I...

Ok, yeah…that sure is a male. Can you post some pics of his enclosure, including the top with the lights? Perhaps going over your husbandry, or at least the most essential parts of it would be advised. Having correct uvb, supplement regimen, temps and humidity are the most common areas that...

For the tldr of the lay bin, they prefer larger bins of about 12”/30 cm on each side and a substrate depth of approx 5-6”/13-15 cm. The substrate needs to be able to hold its shape when she digs and the best to use is play sand or a mix of regular soil with play sand. Moisten it just until it...

I’d like to see more pics of your chameleon…clearer ones that show head and body. From what small bits I’m seeing, I suspect you have a gravid female that is needing to lay some eggs. If so, you need to immediately set up a proper lay bin and read all of this while giving her privacy...

I’ve found that I am allergic to just about all of the bugs, but it’s stuffy nose and itchy watery eye severity. I can handle them, clean their bins and all that, but I have to wash my hands very well after and for those in a bran substrate, I wear a surgical type mask. I thought initially it...

Are you able to breed at least some of your own feeders? You would need heat mats for them, but you’d never have to worry about running out. While I’ve given up on breeding crickets, I can say that roaches, superworms, wax worms and mealworms (for other reptiles you might have) are super easy...

Do I understand correctly that you have the skyway between/connecting 2 separate XL enclosures? Or is it coming off of a double wide? Regardless of which, I’m all for anything that provides your chameleon more space and enrichment. If I didn’t have cats now, one of my panther boys would love this.

Instead of all of that, I would suggest spending just a bit more and getting Neptune’s Advanced Kit, which includes just about everything needed. https://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/reptile-kits/products/advanced-chameleon-kit-by-neptune-the-chameleon She has a more basic kit as well to...

Very cool! :cool:💗

Happy hatch day beautiful lady! 🥳 💗

Well, I think we all have our own preferences when it comes to things like this. I can tell you my opinion on the pros and cons of it. Pros: the feeders climb the screen and make themselves attractive moving targets for a chameleon. The way it is designed and the slick plastic inside make it...

Ok. White is perfectly hydrated. The darker the urate, the more dehydrated your chameleon is…all dark orange is desperately dehydrated. It’s ok if one one end there is a bit of yellow or even orange as long as the majority is white or cream colored. The darker black/brown is the poo part. Urate...

Hoo boy! There’s no way in any reality that I can take a pic that can compete with those already entered. That’s never stopped me before though. ;) I’ve got a busy week ahead, but maybe I can find the time for a quick photo shoot. Maybe!

What color are her urates? That is usually the best gauge of hydration status.

I do like the idea, however most just sit the fan on the top screen of the enclosure, pulling the air from inside to the outside.
