I made a local purchase at Rainbow Mealworms today. Their site says they have Acheta domestica for sale, however when I got home I opened the box and saw these:
Are these the more aggressive species? I noticed right away, as compared to the banded crickets at another store or from...
What about MistKing?
I set mine up last week. It ran flawlessly on the soft water that we have at our home (not naturally but with a soft water filter), but the next day I heard the pump working but no mist. I swapped out the mist nozzle and it has been working since then.
I know soft...
Thanks for the reply. I assumed it would be good for them as I do agree they eat just about everything.
Any tips about how to get my cham to be interested in silkworms?
I currently have crickets and lobster roaches. The roaches are very keen on hiding so my cham never gets a chance to...
I bought silkworms for my chameleon, but he ignored them and they all eventually died. I had purchased a pound of powdered chow and made one batch. Can I feed this left over batch to my crickets?
And how do you guys entice your chams to eat silkworms that hardly move??
My last veiled...
Thanks for the compliments! It is amazing how fast they grow!
That "Raindome" alternative is an accessory sold by MistKing. I think it was like 17 bucks. It actually would be really easy to make one with parts from home depot. I am not sure what the quality is compared to MistKing's misting...
Meet Foley. I purchased him a little over a month ago from Lance. I am excited to say that he is typically a nice bright green color and has a mighty strong grip to him. I have yet to see him drink though. Up until yesterday, I had a dripper on the cage and I would mist him a couple times a day...
My two month old veiled seemed to not be finding his food in my Zilla 30x18x30 sized cage. He did not dig the cup feeding either. I ended up finding a 16x16x18 Reptibreeze on Craigslist for 20 bucks and put him in there for a month until he was eating larger crickets and was easily able to find...
Zilla v Reptibreeze
I have both the Zilla (30x18x30) and also the Reptibreeze (16x16x20).
Originally I purchased the Zilla brand new, but I was worried my 2 month old veiled boy would not be able to hunt his prey. When he wouldn't eat from a cup, I decided to find other options to either...
Someone mentioned how the bug burger smells really tasty... I just picked up a 64oz bag last week and was pleasantly surprised when I opened the bag and took a whiff.
The day before, I received a shipment of silkworms, and thought they too had a somewhat pleasant smell from the mulberry...
Here is my set up for my baby veiled. I initially had a large Zilla cage, but found a cheap small Reptibreeze off Craigslist and figured it would be more manageable for my small cham, especially because he did not like cup feeding.
I have a schefflera that I am thinking of adding as well to...
OOPS I meant to submit this post to the active thread!!!

Gosh, I read this and felt horrible about it.
This reminds me of when my new puppy (now almost 4) chased and cornered one of my two free-range yard rabbits into a corner.
I pray he will feel better in the morning!
Gosh. As traumatizing at it was for him, I am so glad he did not become...
I have never had a chameleon or feeders shipped to me before.
However, I worked for Newegg for two years and the number of complaints from UPS to FedEx were about 10:1. This experience in customer service taught me to always choose something besides UPS if available. Computer and electronic...
Hey there. Having just purchased a set up, I figured I would chime in on the subject.
I did a lot of searching to find the best prices for a new veiled baby set up. I searched through countless websites/sponsors, and local shops as well. The cheapest prices I found, including shipping, was...
Supergirl, those are some super drainage setups :)
I think I will consider getting a plastic bottom and drilling instead of the mesh bottom. I would like a slanted bottom or something but I still need to do more research. It has been a while since I have had my chameleon but now I have money...
I got my 24 24 48 cage from cages.net back in 2003. I chose screen bottom to deal with the drainage. I put three pieces of wood into a U shape, with several thin pieces of wood crossing over to support the plant and cage. This was good for a while, until the wood started to rot from moisture. I...
