$100? The wife wants them gone. There are literally pounds of roaches.

150 shipped?

I need to get rid of my Dubia colony. I am not sure how to count them but there are thousands in there. I am located in New Orleans but will figure out how to ship them. It is probably enough to split up and make several colonies but I would like to sell them all at once. 200 shipped for...

The only information I could find on vitamin d or D3 breaking down is due to high heat or high humidity over an extended period of time. I know vitamin C in solution breaks down over time, hence the reason sailors got scurvy. But I really can't find any reliable source saying stored at room...

I can't speak specifically to reptile vitamins but I know that for human medicines expiration dates are a made up joke. As long as it is not a suspension then most medicines have a 97 percent or more effectiveness after even 15 years of sitting around at room temperature. I would be willing to...

Well I am glad to see that chameleon husbandry is just like modern medicine. 50% of everything people "knew" in the 80s is wrong and 50% of what we "know" now will be wrong in 20 years. So the real moral of the story is don't attack people because they do something different than you when...

I think that chameleon is a bit emaciated and his eye sockets look sunken. Also the thin neck would be a bad sign. Obviously the owners are not doing a good job and have it in a 10 gallon aquarium with just a heat rock, one stick for basking, a bowl of water and a waterfall.

I live in New Orleans... Don't know if anyone else is from round here. I had a veiled during college and it did fine. The rooms are smaller but he was very tolerant of people and didn't mind the activity.

You are right, there is no exoterra large enough for a full grown veiled. But for younger veileds they work great. There are lots of other options of partially glass cages that are larger. I don't think the climate that you are in matters so much as I know people here in new orleans who keep...

I know you have gotten mixed advice but here is some more for you. You don't have to have a completely screen cage. Glass on 2 sides is fine and some people even have good luck with fully glass exoterra terrariums. The advantage of glass is humidity and temperature control. You can get...

Here is a thread about various wild caught food that is toxic and isn't: https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-wild-caught-food-toxic-42666/ Also there is a debate about if you should or shouldn't feed wild caught bugs to your chams.. It seems to be pretty split 50/50. There are multiple...

Granted I don't know much about gout in chameleons(just people), have you started him on a gout medicine? Meloxicam is good for inflammation but to truly help the problem you might need to do like allupurinol(not even sure if chams can take this).

Coming from an ER physician... Roach feces can be a respiratory irritant. If someone has asthma there are a few compounds in roach frass that can cause/irritate someone with asthma. If you have asthma or have children it would be best not to keep the roaches around them. However if you...

I think some of the fears of wild caught bugs are a little overblown. There is no evidence that I have seen that wild caught bugs have more parasites than farm raised. I am from a medical background so I always want double blind placebo controlled studies on most things, but they don't exist...

I just got some from fluker farms that have done really well. They are an hour away so its like same day shipping for me, but they have always done well for me.

Who is to say that all the feeders people have that aren't wild caught don't have just as many parasites? It seems like they might have even more because they are all kept together, just like when something attacks a farm it attacks everything I would guess there is the same problem with...

Cool, good to know, they will love to eat these up and it makes me happy to know that my basil isn't being eaten anymore. I am aware of the possible risks of wild caught bugs, but I think the benefits outweigh it. I would much rather my chams be getting dragonflies, hoppers, praying mantis's...

I got them off my basil plants. Don't know what they are.

What plants can I plant to attract hornworms but won't make them toxic?

Also how do you identify a lubber hopper?
