    Large feeders

    I would never dream of raising capucina or centurion, but lurida is known to be very erratic and females produce over 200 nymphs per litter. I thought of it as a GBR on steroids. Plus I do not believe lurida has a defensive odor but I could be wrong.

    Is there a bad ficus?

    Looks to me like Benjamina. If you could get a closer up photo of the leaves that would be good. Benjamina is perfectly safe but not as tolerant of adverse conditions as Alli.

    My mom found a yellow caterpillar

    If you don't know what it is, it isn't safe. You don't know if it was just in a feild full of pesticides or something, so just go on the safe side and don't feed it.

    Large feeders

    If you want roaches go to Roach crossing. I'm getting some larger roaches for when Clay gets bigger from him soon, in fact.

    Getting ready for my first chameleon

    That cage size is decent for a juvenile/ sub adult panther, but just know that a cage that is only 45 cm (17.7165) wide will be a little small for an adult. Adult panthers get 18in (45.72cm) long and if you furnish the cage appropriately (which means more than just one plant) an adult may have...

    Is a 100 watt PowerSun Mercury Vapor bulb ok to use for veiled chamelons?

    I'm using a similar bulb for a cage that is 6 feet deep and 5 feet long, I don't have any experience with the power sun but it's probably too powerful for a smaller cage.

    Awkward

    You could try pallid roaches for little chams. Pretty soft exoskeleton, the nymphs are tiny, and pallids reproduce like crazy.

    Just monitor his urates and make sure they have no yellow.

    More roaches for Clay, finally

    As I was re organizing my sauna (Yes I use a sauna for a bug room lol) I calculated I had enough space for 5 more species of roach. I did some research and some browsing on http://www.roachcrossing.com/. What I was thinking were the following species. I tried to choose four larger species and...

    Eating Dubia's

    My Clay absolutely loves dubia and I'm trying to get him to eat red goblins and pallids as well. I used to lead him about 5 feet from his perch onto a free range rope just by holding one and moving my hand.

    Chameleon limbs??

    I was also looking over your cage and saw a few things. Overall it is decent for a juvenile Veiled but there are a few things that could be bad. Firstly, I see the water dish on the bottom of the cage. Chameleons do not recognize standing water as a water source and all that dish will do is give...

    Chameleon limbs??

    Chameleons cannot be taken care of like a bearded or leopard gecko or the like. They have extremely specific care requirements and don't do well outside of them.

    Chameleon limbs??

    NewChameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Yeomen, female approx 4 months Handling - Once/twice Feeding - Appox 10 locusts per day + greens Locusts aren't really a good feeder. Try dubia or crickets. Greens are not needed, it's better to just gutload it insects. Supplements - Nutobal No clue what this...

    Bioactive setup: pros and cons

    It's really not worth it to use fake plants. Ina bioactive setup they would probably just cause more trouble than they're worth. I would stick with like but if you already have fake vines or something that's fine. Idk about aquarium vs terrarium bulbs. You can order some from 1000bulbs.com or...

    Keeping my little guy outside for the summer. Bad idea?

    It's more like 80s for basking and 70s for ambient. A natural temp drop is what they're used to but not super needed.

    Tail a diff color, should I be worried?

    As long as he can curl the tail and move it normally it should be fine. Try giving a shower to help get that shed off.

    Bioactive setup: pros and cons

    I'm just using Phillips leds for my 4 foot fixture and Arcadia for Uvb. I'm assuming by 48x25x25 you mean HWL? If so you might not want to use led. If the Uvb bulb doesn't produce heat Iwould go with a fluorescent instead of led for more heat. Whatever bulb you get just make sure it runs at a...
