UPDATE: My mother and father said that I am not allowed to use a heating pad for the roaches. They say that they will not pay the electricity for a heating pad to keep the roaches they don't want alive.... So, any ideas? Anybody? I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the temperatures on the RARE...

Oh! Score! So you sell them here, on the Forums?

Chameleons tend to shut down when they get EXTREMELY stressed out, so I would quit picking him up/ and or handling him and see how that helps. Also, keep us on the forum posted, and if needed we will let you know if he needs veterinary care. We are here to help, after all. :)

Wow! Those two are gorgeous! Gotta admit, @Extensionofgreen, I'm jealous! :love:

Hello! I am also a new veiled owner, and one of the several things I learned really fast was that the basking spot should be around 85-87 degrees for a juvenile. You can increase it as the cham gets older, but that may be a part of your problems.

Ok. Those are easy to get..... My mom should be getting home soon, so I'll try to talk to her about the stuff I'm gonna need.... Here goes!(y)

ok... so do you need an entire different colony for the darkling beetles, or do you just buy them once a year?

What is a cleaner crew? and that's really low maintenence, i read that for crickets you need to clean it every 2 weeks.....

I am in southern Ohio, near Cincinnati. Sorry. :unsure: This sounds great tho, guys. Thank you for all this information! How often do you need to clean the bin?

Ya. That sounds good. Here's the List: (new and improved) 40 quart Rubbermaid container Egg Cartons Gutload (apples, oranges, etc. ) Water Crystals (Can you make these? are they just ice?) heat pad/ heater, only under 3/4th of tub good ventilation an experiment group no phobia of bugs

An experiment group.... sounds good. it would be reallllly bad if i had a flourishing colony without a chameleon to want to eat them....

I just got my new buddy from a Petco at the insistance of my mother, but I was recommended by about 99/100 people here to get a buddy from a breeder. @Matt Vanilla Gorilla is an excellent breeder, and all the sponsors are great for chameleon purchasing. I personally really like the chameleons...

Thank you, @bluesox68 . :LOL:

Oh thank goodness, that really calms my fears. Thank god(y) Where do you get the heaters, and how much do they cost? Any recommendations and ideas are greatly appreciated!

This is great info, guys! I really appreciate it! So, what I've got so far: Dubia are the best option. Dubia are the least money-sucking feeder. Stickbugs are the next best thing. If all else fails, silkworms are good. Crickets smell. Keep going at the parents until they cave. And no, my...

Hey guys! Mom finally caved when I went on an extensive rant about feeder insects, and told me that I could keep the insects in the garage... would that work out? I was considering getting the dubia roaches, and was wondering if they would be able to survive in a garage..... it gets around 1-2...

Thanks guys! This sounds great!

also, where do you get the gutload Cricket Crack? I've heard great stuff about it, but can't find where to get it...

Never mind. Did a little more investigating.... but how much does it cost for shipping? sorry, i've just never shipped anything...

So, I went to ghanns crickets, and the cost on the website was 10 bucks for 250 1/4" crickets. is this right? The cost didn't change no matter the quantity....
