The day that I had to shave my beard, my panther showed some stress colors around me and would not take his eyes off me.
He quickly came back around, but once my beard fills back in I'll be shaving it down to just the moustache so we'll see how he reacts to that
Okay that's good to hear. I dont have a basement and am currently keeping my bugs upstairs in a separate bedroom that shouldn't have any food for them or much moisture
If I had the time and space I would love to try silkworm breeding. Maybe one day...
I've heard chams tend to love silkies - and that was the case for mine as well while I had them
Oh hell that is terrifying lol. I might have to take the bin outside to open it - a little worried about infestation risk even though I've heard it's pretty uncommon
Yeah i dont remember the exact episode, but I think it's one of the hydration ones.
And I have a 15qt Tupperware as my drain collection. I setup my misting system probably 2-3 weeks ago and have gone through just about 2.5 gallons and have not had to empty it yet. A surprising amount of water...
I dont personally have one, but I believe there was a chameleon academy podcast episode that describes these and I think Bill said you can even just use a Turkey baster or dry/wet vac or whatever they're called to remove the water from the tray
I think itd be helpful to include your method for feeding them off as well!
I tried grabbing a couple discoids just with tongs this morning to see if I could get Martin to try them and those little guys are pretty quick. It took me a good couple minutes.
I cant imagine how much I'll struggle...
I haven't seen any damage to the nails so far - these dark spots are on just about all of his toes on the same spot which is what made me think it was from climbing the screen
I wish i could work on his bigger enclosure more during the week so I could get him in it faster. Although, knowing him...
Stainless steel screws are apparently the best rust proof ones out there. Looks like they aren't too expensive at home depot also (around $5-$6 for a pack of 50 for the size I first saw online)
I am also curious about the pvc question.
For the screws, personally I have been using a Kreg jig apparatus to drill holes in the wood at an angle so as to hide the screws. Wood filler pegs can be glued in on top of the screws to completely conceal the metal screws. Then you can sand them down...
Thank you! This was pretty soon after I had first gotten him. His greens have come out a lot more since then along with his reds/yellows on his head and tail
