Silkworms are by far my and spikes favorite lol next is bsfl then crickets

This one was around 10-14 days. I've had some come out just fine. Some came out with no wings. Some can't escape their own cocoon. It's crazy. I haven't really done much to get deep into it though. I'm sure I could be doing more. I try to keep them as caterpillars as long as possible. Spike...

Yeah but I haven't had luck with keeping the moths alive long so ....down Spikes hatch they go! 🤣

Tomorrow, Spike gets to wake up to a special treat 🙂

Yay! This makes me happy. Glad to see some good news!!

Hope everyone is having a nice memorial day weekend and your chameleons are doing awesome. Spike approved of a few close shots today while eating. As long as I kept it quick 🤣

I would personally go back to the standard tubing and just have it aimed down towards the area where the plants are closest to where your chameleon sleeps. Then depending on how that goes maybe make another pvc version of you want to do that. Remember the important thing is humidity where he...

Anytime! I hope this works out :)

Understandable! I hope it works out so that it's okay to shut it off 1am-6am. I feel like that would be the perfect situation here for a solution for you. As long as it's okay for the rest of the room to do that during those hours.

2 potential options: 1) You could actually try ONLY leaving the dehumidifier off from say 1am to 6am (or whatever it was that you run your fogger). This way you're still getting the benefits you need it for, minus just 6 hours in the middle of the night/early morning. 2) Relocate your...

oh ok so you are using a dehumidifier at night? How close to the chameleon enclosure is that? (This can be a DIRECT reason why you are struggling with raising the humidity at night! This is a great thing if this is the issue though. EASY fix.) Those temps are perfectly fine. Remember it only...

No problem! Maybe if you're not using the fogger on full strength you can try bumping it up a bit. Since you're using that PVC hack... maybe what's happening is the fog is being distributed more evenly (but lessening the area he needs it the most). If you need any more assistance with this...

I prefer pothos for sure. So easy to take care of. Cheap to replace if necessary. And they're excellent for our chameleons. I especially like them because if you allow them to grow, they will create huge vines with nice sized leaves all around your enclosure, giving your chameleon the cover...

Ok so if that still is only getting to the high 60s-70s, I would try this. I have no idea how your fogger is currently setup, but if it's not like this already, I would give it a shot and see if there is change overnight. If you decide you'd rather the fogger just go in the general area...

Ahh ok so just to be clear, THAT hygrometer is only getting to the high 60s low 70s at night, specifically, correct?

Yes I mean the tubing that came with the fogger. PVC will serve you well! Maybe you should start misting for longer sessions, or simply throwing in more sessions. However... lets check something else out first. How close is your hygrometer to where your chameleon sleeps? IMO, you should...

I believe 68f is the highest you want to see when fogging. I got this off a video Bill Strand did. I believe it was a podcast with a biologist but I can not remember his name. I actually don't clean my fogger. I use well water that we treat and I constantly keep water in the fogger. I never...

That actually sounds interesting. Not like that would harm them or anything. Though I'd be worried about the lettuce going bad quickly. Maybe I worry too much 😭

Right I understand lol but I mean why could I use in replacement? I'm partially afraid to just use maple leaves from outside due to contamination. But it would be nice to come up with something. hmm

ahh ok. Do you have any ideas on what I could replace as the mulch for this setup? I can just continue using the chow if I can find the correct mulch I'd imagine?
