Hi @Beman as I am waiting for my cham to produce a fecal sample I can take in, I have orders BSFL (which I have never dealt with before) and want to order silkworms so I can dial back the hornworms, but I am always finding most of the places are often sold out. Would buying eggs be an ideal...
Thank you again for the link. After calling quite a few I was able to find one that sounded far more knowledgeable about chameleons. They agreed to wait until I can collect sample and drop it off just to test. They suggested putting it in a ziplock bag and placing it in the fridge and calling to...
I do often get hornworms because they are readily available at my local petstore (not chain) I would like to get silks but aren't easy to find in stock and usually a wait.
You say not mucousy....Today's fecal definitely had a mucusy appearance to it :(
I do have concerns over parasites and...
I could see that being a possible idea. However its his same nightime spot hes had for months. I can see him clearly through the cage but he does a good job in hiding underneath the pot and buried in the pothos. I will try and post a photo of him sleeping in this spot. I do keep the front of the...

Hi there! Thank you. And to confirm I am not using any stand alone bee pollen. But there is SOME bee pollen in the Dubia Diet that I offer to my crickets and roaches. However I don't seem them eating this all that much and opting for the fresh veg/fruit instead
Yeah its strange. I've seen a few different theories on why but nothing really definitive. I have almost been tempted to just let him do it. He is trying for a reason. I have clean soil. I repot and wash all new plants down to the roots and repot in a mixture of all organic potting soil and a...
I do agree with husbandry changing a lot in recent years. And while some of his information may be older, I do feel that Bill is diligent enough to comb back through old info and update assuming it was linked to causing issues. With that being said, I have only used to Arcadia EarthproA for...
No, I'm sorry that I'm confused as to why an excellent resource such as the chameleonacademy would give poor advice. I am well aware of what @Bazelthechameleon is saying. I am saying that I am following what Bill suggests on his website.
However to clarify I am not using the Repashys Calcium...
Im confused. I followed this directly off of chameleonacademy.com
And no he has never been tested for parasites. I purchased him at the Sac Reptile Expo in September from Highlighter Chameleons

Yeah that's exactly what I saw! I knew they liked protein but had no clue they were capable of that. But I suppose it makes more sense that they would be drawn to something dead and on the ground.
Well that is good to hear. I saw the threads with the pinky mice and was pretty shocked. Wondered if using my dairy cow colony would've been a better option. I was prepared to rip it all out and start over haha
Has anyone ever had powder orange isopods cause harm to their chameleon? I am currently working on growing out and establishing a bioactive enclosure. The enclosure will remain uninhabited until this ecosystem has become well established. But I have seen a few threads discussing how protein...
