They dont eat the exoskeleton. They eat them from the inside! They just dod the same to a superworm left in the feeder.

Oh they’ll eat dubia, too! I’ve had them eat sub-adult dubia overnight. Makes me a bit hesitant to feed them as larva after seeing that! Good thing the chams tend to chew them up well.

Sadly it’s getting too cold to live outside, but Donnie politely asked for some outside time today. 10 weeks post op… still healing and some scabbing, but he is slowly but surely retracting his vent and improving. Almost out of ointment so I’m going to switch to Silver Sulf soon.

Thank you! He is still healing up - but his vent is looking better by the day. He has been sleepy and slow this week, with little appetite. The past 2 months he has has a lot of good days and a lot of bad days - so I try not to overthink things and just take care of his needs.

I’m not sure what pink slime Is - can you take a photo? I’ve heard of pink slime but not sure Ive seen it in an enclosure. That being said, I had artillery fungus crop up in soil I purchased from bio dude, which caused a ton of issues for me. Its not bio dudes fault - the fungus likely stowed...

Happy 7th birthday Donnie!!!! 🥳

They’ve been great! Have not observed them lay a clutch of eggs, but would like to try to breed them and have grand babies. Love this species!

Looking for K. Boehmei. Preferably male but open to females. US only. Commonly mis-identified as dwarf fishers chameleons

Donnie was not eating enough for my sister, even with medium grasshoppers on the menu! But… she didn’t know the oldest trick in the book. Offer a hornworm, and quickly sneak a dubia in its place at the last minute! I’ve been giving him a hornworm and 2-3 medium dubia daily. A wild, large...

Happy belated birthday!

I swear I am not trying to be dramatic here… this experience has been a serious roller coaster, with ups and downs coming in rapid succession. I flew home today and all I could think about for the last 24hrs was seeing Donnie (and of course all my other babies)! I envisioned us running to each...

Beavis and Butthead anyone? Anyone?

I’m away for another week yet, and Donnie is unfortunately declining. He is eating and drinking well, but once again looks sickly and is weak. His butt is improving but still healing. I am afraid I may lose him while I’m away. He has warmed up to my sister but I am sure he is wondering where...

Good news post checkup - Dr. Gold feels that Donnie is healing nicely, no sign of infection. The tissue I was concerned about, of course, disappeared overnight before the vet visit. The puss-y side of his vent is apparently normal for such a large, exposed wound. Ointment continues for...

“nature….. uh…. Finds a way”

I’ve noticed, for the occasional escapee in bio enclosures - if I put a small deli cup with a small dubia in it, and leave it, the escape will eventually end up in the cup, too. Has happened a few times - they somehow seek each other out.

Pizzaballs!

The video where he does Pugs is my favorite.

Their eyes look kinda like my brain does when I get bored.... So good!
