Thank you all for the kind words... They mean a lot coming from elders of the community like yourselves - Greatly appreciated! (y)
From a pride of ownership perspective, it's incredibly gratifying to see Skittles (aka "Skedattle") thriving. ;)
Hey Chameleonforums.com,
Hope everyone is ready to have a great weekend! (y)

I hung potted plants directly from the Dragon Ledges... The pots are from IKEA's BYGEL collection.

I recommend getting the Dubia colony started now. It'll be one less thing you have to worry about once your a Chameleon arrives. Plus, you won't have to wait for the colony to get established before you can start feeding from it. They'll likely already be reproducing at a rate capable of...
N. cinerea has a scary reputation, but the truth of the matter (at least based on my personal experiences thus far) is they're a GREAT feeder roach for Chameleons. That said, I feel compelled to give my $0.02 regarding some of the more common complaints.
- Yes, N. cinerea can climb vertical...
Yes, B. Dubia (aka Dubias) is a great feeder... No smell... No noise... They're easy to keep, breed, gut load, etc.
I'm not sure if "Spotted Roaches" is another name for Dubias, but if you post a picture we'll be able to properly identify the roaches at your local pet store.
As long as you...
Thanks for the heads up... Appreciate it! (y)
So far, only 1 of 4 chrysalis have hatched... Maybe they'll all hatch on separate days so I can feed them off individually.
Apparently, my Cham loves Hawk moths! It took him a minute to size-up the moth, but he chomped it down without hesitation once he identified it as prey. (y)
The moths are huge too; especially after their wings unfold! I'd guesstimate their bodies are about 1.5" - 2" in length and 1/2" - 5/8" in width. I haven't seen the wings fully expanded yet, but they look like they could have a 3" wingspan! :eek:
I've been reading up on these moths...
Last night one of the Horn worms I pupated emerged from a chrysalis in moth form! :eek:
I wasn't trying to breed Horn worms. A few worms from the first pod I purchased grew too large for my Cham to eat. So, I decided to pupate them and use the moths as feeders. Honestly, I never expected...
I received my first pod of Silk worms a couple days ago. Unfortunately, my Cham doesn't seem to like them. :rolleyes:
I had high hopes Silk worms would be a big hit given how nutritious they are... And how voraciously he consumes Horn worms. Best I've been able to manage to-date is 1-2...
