If his mouth is just open, then he's overheating. If he's really stretching out his mouth (there's a huge visual difference), then he's just stretching out his jaw muscles. You said he does a little shake etc when yawning - that's what mine does. If your environmentals are all good and he's...

He's just stretching. Mine does that too. They also do it when shedding to remove skin.

They are probably Lesser Mealworm beetles. They are scavengers and double as a really good clean-up crew. Get rid of some adult beetles if you are getting too many of them. Otherwise, you should be fine.

Clarkrw3: I got a bad feeling from that place, glad I didn't get anything from them. Sucks that you got everything DOA.

There is absolutely no need to cut off the horn. Cutting off something like a horn, or damaging a hornworm (or silkworm) before feeding can lead to an a mess- especially when the caterpillars are larger in size. The reason for this is that the inside of a hornworm is pretty much entirely...

No, that is a fleshy horn which is completely harmless.

Yeah, we'll see how it goes! Hopefully I gets some before September's show. Thank you for your help!

Jubilee: Thanks! I'll send them an email.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately they are not selling butterworms because of the heat (that's what the site says, at least). Any other sites outside of NYWorms? Maybe a bait shop with an online store? Thank you

I'm in Westchester. Do they have a site online?

I got my Shielded at mantispets.weebly.com - much cheaper and better customer service than Mantisplace. Carey is really informative!

I know this is about feeding off mantids (which I will never do), but here's a few pics of Amaya, My Java Shielded Mantis

Anyone know where I can order butterworms online that doesn't ship from California? East Coast would be best. It's over 85 F here in NY and I'd like for them to spend the least amount of time in trucks and do not want to pay 20$ shipping for a few butterworms. Mulberry Farms is a no-go as they...

2 umbrella trees (Schefflera) and two Pothos on the bottom.

If I am not mistaken, the sire is So Kool from Screameleons.

Mugetsu turns 13 months old tomorrow! Here's a pic of his rearranged enclosure (you can see him climbing out to the right of the cage!): Here are some pics of him: (He has a rub mark his snout-should be gone by next shed) And a pic of Amaya, my Java Shielded...

You can use silkworm food. It makes the hornworms green instead of teal. If you already have silkworms, this is the way to go- no need to get two different kinds of food mix. This site answers everything about hornworms: http://www.chameleonnews.com/05DecCaruthers.html

Bernie hit the nail on the head. Make a detailed list of EVERYTHING you will need and costs associated. The more detailed the list, the more you will understand what you are getting into. Also, this list will serve as a indicator of your commitment, which will help you plead your case to your...

I am not going to lie, your dad is right. It's a big time and financial commitment. If you want your chameleon to be happy (which you do if you're getting one!) you will be setting your schedule pretty much around it. They are NOT bearded dragons. They are one of the most high maintenance...

try breeding your own Dubia roaches or other roach species. that's the best bet for you in my opinion. lots of sites carry them.
