Wow, lots of grumpiness in this thread!

And some of you advertise it by listing yourselves as "senior members" :)

The chain pet stores will let you select the smallest crickets. Take your own tupperware bowl, have them dump some in it; and you can pick out the pinheads and put them in the purchase bag. Oh, and I found that my local chain store does not carry fruit flies. The chain itself does, but not...

I have been wanting to get a hedgie for some time now, but "she who must be obeyed" (wife) is already compromising to allow the chams. Also, I haven't found anyplace around here that has them. Duke

I started my babies in the usual, small, glass aquarium but it is smaller than "the norm". My eggs haven't all hatched yet so these are spanking new Veileds. I moved them to a screen cage about 36x24x24 or so because they were already on top of each other with only 6 chams in the 5 gallon...

So am I the only one on this site over 40??

Boy I don't know here. All of my Chams have done that on occasion. They just grab for anything and occasionally get one of their own legs. Usually if they are at the end of some flimsy branch or something and not very often, but I have seen it. I'm not sure I would consider it a sign of low...

I have fed grasshoppers to Veileds and Jacksons for years now. Well, when available that is of course. I pay the neighborhood kids a dime for each one they catch for me. I usually wipe off the first splotch of "tobacco spit" but not always. I have seen elsewhere that catching and feeding...

Your description of the Panther describes my male, Veiled. My female is a bit more mobile.

My current, female, Veiled turns/turned a bright green when she was receptive. It was very noticeable and she stayed that color. It was different than the pics you have and I wish I had taken a pic to post now. She is now gravid and is a patchy coloration, with some brown; similar to what you...

Well, what happened?

I second the post about roaches instead. I was much happier switching over to blaberus hybrids instead of the crickets. I have never actually done the measurements myself, but understood from the place I bought them from that the roaches not only had more calcium/mg, but also had lower phosphorus.

Hey Kirekam How is this little guy doing?

There are some vets that monitor the forum and maybe they will chime in. I do think that is far too much for vitamins. I use calcium nearly every time and vitamins about 2 times/month. Another thing to make sure of is that the cham is getting plenty of water to prevent build up of uric acid...

There are many, many threads on this. Just search. In fact, Brad did a poll on it once. I haven't figured out how to insert a hyperlink on posts yet so you will have to copy and paste: https://www.chameleonforums.com/site-polls/poll-19-favorite-indoor-plant.html

It seems you have a male Veiled? Mine would not eat that much every day as your timetable seems to imply. For calcium; keep in mind that it isn't just total calcium, but the calcium phosphorus ratio to overcome. I would definitely put calcium on supeworms and believe it is probably more...

Looks like a cleaner bug to me. They are the larva of a beetle similar to mealworms and relatively common to be in with mealworms. Once again I can't tell if it is, but it looks like one to me.

Mine works fine. For me the trick was to just plug it in and let it eqilibrate. Once the temp had steadied I knew what it was set at and then adjusted a bit. Then I let it equilibrate again etc. It took me a few days. Once I had it set it keeps it pretty steady. I have my second batch in...

Holy Schnitzel, it must be "pinky" weekend or something. I think this is the 3rd pinky thread going simultaneously.

I'm not advocating pinkies, nor am I against them but do have to jump in on some facts. Protein is made of 20 amino acids and one imino acid and all critters are made of a mixture of these. There would be differences such as chitin in the insect and hair on a mammal, both of which are protein...
