I believe hornworms are illegal in the Uk. Not sure though. However, you definitely should have phasmids as a staple for your guy. They are legal in the Uk, are super easy to keep and continuously reproduce. Not to mention that chams absolutely love them and are gutloadable with common...

try: -silkworms -hornworms -roaches (dubia, hissers, green banana, porcelain) -stick insects (if available in your area) -painted lady butterflies (NOT monarch) -butterworms

I was the animal nerd when I was younger. First pet was a green horned frog. Then I had a white lined gecko, tokay gecko, bibron's gecko, oriental fire-bellied toads, anole, green tree frogs. I was a total nerd and no one messed with me because I had so-called "crazy" pets. Then i got into...

I live in NY too. I have two pothos on the floor of the enclosure, two scheffleras and tillandsias. My set up is two 6500K florescents and a 100w Powersun for basking and heat. This is a 4ftx2ftx2xft. I have a mistking and I find that overwater plants is the main reason that they die...

Ugh, I never wear lycra. That stuff is nasty. To each his own..I'd rather be hitting berms, drops, jumps and rock gardens. Flat ground is boring.

Heh, clearly you've never been mountain biking before :p

Meh. Now I'm sounding like a nagging father. It's just crazy how quickly concrete and gravity can rearrange your face. I guess people don't learn until it happens to them. Not my hospital bill. But back to chameleons, I feel (imo) that they are less prone to harboring Salmonella than...

Don't really understand what point you're trying to make. In a biking accident at speed, there is a high chance the bike smacks you in the head, not to mention you smashing your head on the pavement. I would not be alive today if I had not worn a helmet while riding. Take it from someone who...

Banning reptiles because of people getting sick would be like banning bicycles because people who were not wearing helmets were getting injured. Wash your hands, you'll be fine. Wear a helmet, you'll be safer.

Absolutely. If you're responsible and have common sense in caring for your pets and hygiene, you won't get sick from Salmonella.

Meh. You can catch Salmonella from raw meat/fish/poultry as well. Just wash your hands after handling your cham and anything that came in contact with the cham. It's really not hard. People are not as clean as they would like others to believe. Ok I'm going to stop before I get into a rant...

Yeah it's pretty crazy.

Sandra, You are absolutely correct. My wording may have been misleading. Hissers live well at room temp, but if temps drop below 60, they will have difficulties in surviving.

Hissers and dubias cannot survive temperate climes. Keep your dubia in a rubbermaid bin with a screen portion on the lid and 5cm of roach barrier/petroleum all aroiund the inside near the top and you should have no escapes. One or two little nymphs may get out, but they will die quickly and will...

Hissers are more expensive to start up. They also take longer to breed. Honestly, it's all about personal preference between dubia and hissers. Hissers look "cooler", but make noise, are more expensive initially and require a bit more space (in my personal opinion). The real reason I went with...

Hissers take time to start up but then are very easy and clean.

New one! Well, I'm biased as Mugetsu is on the main page.

I'll be there!

Mugetsu despises my laser thermometer. He wants to kill it dead.

Cup feed the crickets!
