I've got an exotic pet store in my neighborhood that is pretty high end and they advertise them as "the best feeder" available, and I really don't see it, They are too small to be a real staple, and the first time I fed them to my cham, he just knocked the cup over in protest. He ate them...

Phoenix worms are black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). They are just a trademarked version. you may also see them called caliciworms at large chain pet stores . All the same thing. Super high in calcium, and cannot be gutloaded, and do not need to be dusted. They are a good feeder, but are tough...

Totally did the same thing a while ago. Just figured it was fine because it was the only light Petco had, but it came with an acrylic strip across the light, and had nothing but bad reviews, so I swapped it out for an acadia bulb.

I personally wouldn't. Too much protein. Some of the first ingredients are fish meal, so at least for me, that's a no go. You do not want a gutload with too much protein. That would work with other herps, but a chameleon could develop gout with a diet too rich in protein.

sorry brain fart. there's one I've seen on google where a guy made his entire spare room into an enclosure with bamboo paneling. Now that's a huge enclosure.

you've also got to watch out for those oyster shells. ITs an extremely old school move and there are better forms of calcium out there. It can also contain mercury, which will build up in your Jackson's system, if you must use it, only use it sparingly, and as a short term solution NOT LONG TERM

Dubia are one of the better base feeders. They are easy to maintain, and they don't really "infest" like you are probably having nightmares about. The reason you cannot have them in Florida is because the average temperatures throughout the year are their breeding temps and they don't want...

That sucks. So the courier wont take any of the blame? Even when I'm sure it said fragile and handle with care.

DO NOT feed your cham pinky mice. Anything that high in protein will cause problems eventually.

it can take a while for a cham to get fully acclimated to you or its new enclosure. At least a week from my experience sometimes longer. Just try not to be all up in its business for a while just for feeding or misting. Also keep an eye on that eye closed. It could be a million things such as...

in honor of Lemmy from motorhead?

Is that a water glass i see???

I had the same problem back in the day. I'd go to a big pet store and buy one of those to go boxes of crickets, then they are dead within a few days. I think overcrowding is the main problem. Sure they are poorly raised crickets, but if you use a "cricket keeper" with the plastic tubes in it...

I agree, it seems like reptibreezes are all only for juveniles, the only acceptable one seems to be the XL. Its funny they are produced and marketed for chameleons, yet only one model meets the minimum size requirement for an adult. Perplexing for sure.

I spot roaches on the shelf......and what appears to be a bong

Seems a little blasphemous. Marty better not be watching this thread :rolleyes:

idk how i stumbled onto this thread, but wtf is happening here?

and they are NOT like dogs, cats, or horses that will find their way home eventually, if he is out, he will find a good hiding spot and stay there indefinitely.
