Hi all, I had a few left over horn-worms that my male Veiled chameleon "Chubbs" didnt eat and decided to let them pupate. After weeks of research and husbandry , i successfully hatched several hawk-moths and had a couple breed after hand feeding them. I now have hundreds of horn-worm eggs...

Thanks for sharing, I guess I'm gonna go ahead and just build something like this.

Think this will work as a drainage pan?

Yes I plan on getting some isopods, springtails, etc. And will be adding a layer of hydroton, mesh screen and leaf litter on top. I just threw all of this together today. But by the end of the week I'll have the drainage layer finished and will be loading it with branches. Thanks for the input!!

Chubbs and his new home, 4'x2'x2' All live plants At the bottom I have some organic soil and moss in a drainage pan. I did all this in one day so I will be making a few adjustments and will post progress pictures. Hope you all like it.

Yes he will be 3 years old September, but so far he has been calm and I've never seen him grumpy "fingers crossed ". Definitely makes it easier for them to be comfortable around you getting him at a young age.

I would get a couple more varieties of feeder insects like, superworms, silkworms, waxworms, hornworms or whatever you can get at your petstore. Chameleons love a variety in their diet and will be good to have extra food incase something happens to the crickets. Congratulations on the wedding...

I wasn't trying to imply that it was the breeders fault at all. Atleast i did not mean for it to come out like that. All I meant is for anyone who wants to get into breeding make sure they take the time reading on the subject. I was very sorry that the breeder had this happen. I know this wasn't...
