I've been fangirling all over the new Independence Day trailer, much to my husband's annoyance. (Sorry, grew up LOVING the original 3. Then they released those other three 3 things when I was a teen and it was like nope, I'm done. I'll wait to hear how this newest one is before I get any...

Someone linked me to a picture of a half-gallon milk jug with the needlepoint canvas up the inside? It lets the feeders (crickets and supers) get eye level so the chams can shoot straight out to get them. It's worked amazingly well. Jane can sit in her basking spot and just turn her head and...

Personally, when they're in a bad state I never think it's worth the fight to change their diets unless it's something that is going to be even more harmful in the long run. (That goes for any animal in rehab.) I've been doing multiple meals a day, a little at a time, and something different...

@Pap You should be able to sell them. Adult Beardies eat them, and many people don't want to breed their own. If you live in a feeder desert like where I am, they can fetch a decent price and nab you repeat customers. When I put my small colony up for sale I got more than I expected and it was...

Coming from fish/inverts/reptiles myself, it's been a little weird to have everyone here go by measurements rather than gallons. Screen tanks are sold by measurements though, and since chams don't do well behind glass you don't see this forum ever using gallons because aquariums should never be...

They can't climb plastic and they can't fly. I kept mine in an open-topped bin for four years. The only escape I had was when I knocked part of a bag into the bin and some were able to crawl out using it as a rope.

Nope, she's got it coming off all parts at once. Do they normally go in stages? That is going to take some getting used to. Everything else I have is pretty much pop/slide and done. I think most is off today, except part of her back and her tail. I watched her kick some off her side and front...

I'm so sorry. Crossing my fingers the vet can get creative and find a way to help.

Thank you!

Where is the sponsor list since the upgrade? I can find the sponsor forum, but that only has the ones who have posted. I know there was a nice listing before the upgrade, been trying to locate it since.

There are different sized grains in playsand - what you were washing off was the finest, almost clay-like dust. I've been using playsand for 6 or so years now with my hermit crabs, multiple fish tanks, and now my geckos. The only time I bother rinsing is if it's going to be used underwater. Once...

I always handle beetles (mealies or supers) with gloved hands. I'm too worried about crushing them with tongs, I've got butterfingers. They do smell kind of weird, but I only had it stick to me when I handled them directly. Still smells better than crickets! ;) I started trying to breed them...

I recommend wearing gloves when handling the beetles. They spray a chemical that smells very medicinal (like hospital lysol), and it does not wash off. My hands stunk all day the first time I moved them between bins. I had no warning they did that. Don't keep them sealed either - the smell...

How long should I expect the molt to take, and at what point do I need to step in with a shower (or whatever) to make it easier on her? She still had some flakes on her from when she molted before I got her that she couldn't or wasn't bothering with getting off. Want to make sure this shed goes...

Home Depot or Lowes will have washed, screened and usually sterilized playsand where the cement mixes are, for under $5 for 50 pounds. :)

Where at in Alaska are you? I send regular packages up there a few times a year, and the biggest issue in the middle of winter is the weather - get a bad storm and the airports shut down and the mail runs late - sometimes days late. That is something you'll need to watch closely the day you go...

Didn't you ask them for the chameleon though? I read your original thread(s). I'm having trouble understanding why you would ask for another pet if they won't take care of the one you already have. You had also said before you were saving up money to buy things yourself by babysitting, and then...

I'm not sure of the exact species, but there is a decent chance they'll be able to climb glass or plastic, so if you want to keep them where they are I'd recommend a ring of Vaseline around the inside of the enclosure rim if you aren't using one already!

You take a Tablespoon of table salt, add a few drops of water to make it sticky, and put it in a sealed bag or container with the hygrometer. In six hours it should read 75% or the gauge is off. Salt likes to be at 75%, so it makes the sealed area that humid. If it's an adjustable gauge it can...
