Mugetsu, my 14 Month Ambanja Male (sire is Sokool from Screameleons) Fired up and ready to maul: His threat display is impressive, other than that he's a real sweet guy. And Amaya, my Java Shielded Mantis Sub Adult female :P Notice the death spikes on her arms. They are surprisingly big.

Ok, so what i do to mount vines is use thumbtacks. Clear thumbtacks do not detract from the look of the cage. You can use several at each point the vine touches the screen. Because the metal tip of the tack is in the vine, there are no rust issues.

I have 3 nozzles. One on the back left corner of the top screen, one on the back right corner of the top screen, one on the back of the cage in the middle, near the bottom (but pointing upwards). That way all the leaves are wet when the spray goes off instead of just the top leaves.

Use organic soil and place large river rocks (bigger than your cham can swallow) on top of the soil.

ain't that the truth. however, it's good to avoid money "black holes" such as orchids that essentially do nothing for the cage. ah, another negative with orchids: if you are mounting them on coir plaques, you'll have to wrap sphagnum moss around the roots. this moss then falls EVERYWHERE and...

i went through 5 orchids in my cham's cage. they are very hard to keep alive as they have particular lighting and watering needs, not to mention fertilizing. all my orchids died. honestly, as beautiful as they are, stay away from orchids unless you already have experience with them. that's...

AlexBrock is a rockstar. he just brings the hose in and takes care of business. misting systems are for wimps. Now back to reality...i love my Mistking.

i use filtered water from my fridge and add a few drops of reptisafe to the water before mixing it with the water crystals.

Chameleoman, you have your answer. Don't put substrate or your cham will eventually eat it and that will cause an impaction. substrate also breeds life-threatening bacteria-chameleons live in trees and do not regularly interact with ground substrate. end of story. i thought my cham would...

mwhahahaha.

the best thing you can do in these situations is to be really proactive about presentation and cleanliness in keeping feeders. if everything is clean and neat and out of sight, your mother should have no qualms with your feeders. the key here is out of sight. if you can integrate your feeder...

Actually, most animals that are venomous have weaker jaws. They don't need to be able to kill their prey with their jaws as the venom does the heavy lifting for them. Everyone has the right to their own opinions, but these facts and scientific testing literally spell out the truth. I mean...

Read this article. They found the venom glands using an MRI. The dirty mouth hypothesis is only part of the story. These things have the nasty bacteria, but also venom. Apparently I was incorrect in stating that the venom delivery method was akin to a Gila monster's - instead it just drips...

get a mistking, mistking timer and never look back.

1920 x 1080 on Asus 27" LED monitor. Built my PC from the ground up: Thermaltake Armor fulltower case, Intel Q6600 Quadcore @ 3.2 ghz, Nvidia GTX GeForce 570 Superclocked, 6 GBs RAM. When 8 core CPUs come out I'll get a new CPU, motherboard,RAM, and liquid cooling. Right now there's no game I...

I prefer to remove any chow/frass attached to the silkworms before feeding them off. Silkworms frass (feces) looks a bit like mulberry chow in ball form and you don't want to be giving that to your cham. A bit by accident won't hurt, but silkworms love to tie food and frass into their silk and...

silkworms are not cannibalistic. hornsworms...well let's just say they don't have any qualms with devouring their siblings. nothing like finding a hornworm head or two in your hornworm enclosure. :/

awesome. btw, it's not the bacteria that kill a dragon's prey- they have venom akin to that of the Gila monster.

Sounds like a plan :)

So it lasts for a second or two and his mouth is stretched open? Then I wouldn't worry about it. If you know what your cham looks like when he's too hot and this is not that, then don't worry.
