The chirping doesn't bother us. We have been attempting to breed crickets and finally have major success! (Our first attempts failed because of crickets dying prematurely -virus?) Now that we have a solid cricket source we have thousands of pinheads... I imagine they will be much much louder...

Just to follow up on this for future reference. Both of these spots disappeared after he molted.

I've read that it shouldn't be used as a substrate. The bottom and the exterior finish pieces are western red cedar. The interior framing is douglas fir. So he would essentially only be in contact with cedar if he was on the bottom of the cage, but I've yet to see him crawl down there. Either...

Thanks! I added an updated photo showing the branches and vines. There is also a cool variegated ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa) in there.

MJ has two spots on his tail. Started out with just one (closer to his body) and then the other appeared (towards the tip of his tail) He is kept in an outdoor enclosure on our lanai. Gets natural morning sun, natural rain, as well as misting. Feeding mostly crickets and mealworms...

Ok thanks! Will look into getting some of those, but honestly have not seen any at our pet supply stores. We are a bit limited on what we can buy here because Hawaii has strict laws on what plants and animals can be imported. There are lots of insects to choose from in the wild, so we have...

Thank you! Yes the tropical conditions are perfection for him. We are located on the rainy side of O'ahu too, so it really helps out. Right now we are mostly feeding crickets, and some mealworms but also house flies, moths, millipedes, earthworms. I'm sure anything that happens to wander into...

Yea, he loves the consistent rain we get here in Kaneohe. We also have a mister set up that gives his foliage a nice soaking every morning. If it's been a dry/windy day he gets a nice misting in the evening too, or we just spray the Brazilian plum (shown in the giant blue pot) and he free...

Just wanted to update since we are new to the forums and our buddy MJ has been doing so well in his new enclosure. I took some photos as we built the enclosure but haven't had the time to post until now. This is an outdoor enclosure that we can move around to get optimal natural morning sun...

Thankful for all of the above information as we are trying to breed crickets as well and have not had great success. We are extremely frustrated! Mass cricket death daily. Legs twitching but pretty much dead. We've been getting them at Petco and here in Hawaii they are $8 for 30 crickets...

Here is MJ with out curious pup Hazel checking him out.

We just got our adult male Jackson's Cham that we named Michael (MJ for short). We live on the Eastside of Oahu (the cooler/wet/windy side) and have been keeping him outside under the eaves. These guys are everywhere in the forests at higher elevations and can withstand the cooler temperatures...
