    Posting this thread to discuss best options for a reliable supply of feeders for chameleons. I’m not a huge fan of breeding insects and love the idea of auto delivery. However, there have been multiple occasions where the feeders (banded crickets) arrive DOA. I live near Chicago and weather...

    Very interesting and informative threads. Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure why these didn't come up in my initial search. Maybe I should just search for titles, vs. everything. Post 1348937 is the likely best example of what might be going on. Also, thanks for your videos on the...
