Dubias > crickets. Crickets aren’t ideal due to their phosphorus/calcium ratio, but not so bad if you gutload and supplement properly.

Try to time your feeder order to arrive a few days before your cham. That will ensure you have time to gutload and they live as long as possible.

How much and how often are you typically feeding?

I’ll also say based on the order I received today, supers might be too big for a baby.

yes. Silks as a staple are fine too. @Gingero has a good video too. I’ll try to post if she doesn’t get to you first.

Is that a single bulb reflector?

Black soldier fly larvae and silkworms are good. @jamest0o0 hooked me up with a discoid roach colony as Dubias are a no-go here in Florida.

I got a shout out on stream ?. Watched everything I missed today.

Perfect, thank you!

Yeah, they seem to be “adult” sized and definitely bigger than his head which is why I was concerned. Is the size a concern because it could be a choking hazard or that it could be difficult to digest? Something else?

I just got some superworms in today for my 3.5 month old panther. I’m only planning to use them as occasional treats to help with building trust. However, they seem humongous compared to the 1/4” crickets and roach nymphs he’s currently eating as staple feeders. I just want to be sure they are...

I think @cyberlocc is pretty passionate about this subject and could provide valued input.

I find this topic to be very interesting and one of the bigger question marks of the hobby. Everyone seems to do something a little different and results are inconsistent at best. You saw edema in your veiled from LoD while the Kammers use Calcium Plus with even more vitamin D every feeding on...

What kind of chameleon we’re you seeing edema in and around what age did it begin? Asking for a friend who is using LoD at every feeding ?

I think most people use Solarmeter brand. I think the 6.5 is recommended, but I haven’t got one yet myself.

More branches up top. I’m assuming your not measuring the UVB he’s currently getting but it’s probably not enough with the 6% and branches not being higher up. Here’s what I’m using for temp/humidity measurements. Just search Govee in the forums for more info as we had a more in depth discussion...

It doesn’t sound like ideal conditions for a chameleon. Keeping lights in a room with a lot of activity could easily stress the chameleon. Temps are fine with a heat lamp for basking, but the humidity levels are too low. For that reason, a screen cage would not be ideal. You would need to...

I would probably put the UVB directly on top of the screen until you get a T5 linear. Even then your cham won’t be getting the UVB needed, but probably getting none with it elevated.

Could be an issue with the fixture if you’re blowing bulbs in two days. Monitor temps closely.
