That's what I thought... but they look so weird and abnormal. They look the same as the black-eyed ones. I just found them really weird and wanted to share/see if anyone had any insight on if it's normal or not! Either way, they kinda creep me out at night when one of them stares out from under...

I have two chameleons, so I don't have large amounts of food (One is really small (Ellioti), the other is well.. a veliled). I do however keep the following on a daily basis: Crickets: I have a large cricket-container and regularly add new ones from the store. I need to add new ones because I...

I just bought a couple of large crickets for Yuki yesterday, and I noticed that a couple are actually very creepy looking... Normally I am not grossed out by any kind of bug or whatever, but these ones look really odd. I just wanted to know if it was normal! Not all of them have these yellow...

I have been doing very much the same handling-wise with Yuki since I got her. Today was the first day she's ever willingly climbed onto my hand without huffing and puffing. Since we got her in February (Or the end of January, I forgot which), I take her out on a daily basis and set her on a...

Superworms are the same as the meals - Only treats. I also read in a couple of topics on the forums that, while hornworms are a good food source, they should also not be over fed. I would stick to phoenix and silks with some horns and occasional meal/super/wax as treats.

So I bought Yuki (my Veiled) some Rose Chafer Larvae today. I like spicing things up, and she loves her phoenix worms (she rips them out of my hand before I can even position my hand properly) and I thought some nice juicy rose chafer larvae would be nice for the mix! There's 10 of them in...

This was recommended to me at the pet store. I personally like having their UVB and basking bulbs separate because the chameleon should be able to be under the UVB lighting without getting too warm. I also found that that particular bulb produced too much heat for my terrariums, but that...

Awesome blog on gutloading feeders: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/75-feeder-nutrition-gutloading.html (I know you didn't want gutloading specifics, but this should help you some too.) You should provide your chameleon with as much variety as possible when feeding...

Wax worms, mealworms and superworms are alright for a treat, but shouldn't be part of a staple diet. As TreeTopChameleons stated, Hornworms, Crickets and Roaches are good food sources. Be sure to gutloat the crickets and roaches! :D (I haven't ever seen hornworms in the stores or online here...

Alright, so a hole in the side too (I wasn't 100% sure on that, but I inda figured). I suppose it's good for them to be able to climb too. Airflow is always good as well! How would one go about separating the baby crickets from the soil? Seems like something so small would be really hard to...

..but there are a few questions I'd like to answer! I'm going to be using large plastic bins with a hole in the top and screen covering the large hole, as I have seen here on the forums. Is this enough ventilation? I read about needing a heating mat or something to heat the boxes. I was...

I have a veiled and an ellioti. Yuki(veiled) is around 5 months, give or take a month, and Marimo(ellioti) is around 7 months. He needs a higher humidity level, but not as high as a jacksons I do believe (He also hates water!). Again, I would be misting heavily before work and when I get home...

I'm sure it's possible, but for that you'd need space and time to monitor them. Anything can happen after all!

I could imagine a lot of stress with different species being together. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I would go with a "don't do it" answer. When I take Yuki out of her terrarium, which is next to Marimo's (They can't see each other while in them), he makes himself look larger, and shows...

I have yet to find a place that offers mistking or aquazamp in Germany, and I don't want to buy this "Monsoon" which seems to be the only thing I can get, but breaks easily. Come summer we will hopefully have a misting system though, if we figure out somewhere we can get one! (both chams will be...

I was just wondering if my chameleons would be fine with two mistings (One in the morning and one in the evening) for a week. Right now they get 4 a day (Mornings, noon, afternoon and evening) but the people who mist during the day will be going on vacation for a week. We have someone else...

I would personally have to say the phoenix worms due to their high calcium. Superworms are like mealworms (correct me if I'm wrong) and have a high fat content compared to nutrition. Their chitin is also not good in large quantities (so I've been told). Superworms (If they are indeed like...

That might be the reason why the guy at the store was saying "Oh, this one is female. This one is female. This one too...." :p Thanks for the info :D I've pulled up that post now in regards to the walking sticks and you've eased my thoughts on getting some :) My husband will be pleased that we...

I was told there's a difference between male and female ones.. does that mean the males can ALSO lay eggs? I know they can lay fertile eggs without mating, but.. I am just confused! (Could also be that the pet store has no idea what they're talking about) My husband wants two anyways I...

Turns out I mixed up "Indian Walking Sticks" with mantids :o They had both in the same "section" and each in small plastic boxes and so I was confused. (Sometimes hearing something in a 3rd language and trying to relay it in your first language is tricky!) I'm going to update the first post...
