I recently started my dubia colony...I am also only feeding for 1. I started with 30 females and 10 males...also ordered 400 smalls to feed off until they get up and running. I started it 3 weeks ago and see new babies every few days.

I used a dremel on my tubs that were on the thicker side and for the smaller thinner ones I used a box cutter...not sure about the reptile heat mat..but I use heat tape for my dubia colony and use duct tape to attach it to bins so I wouldn't see why not but I would keep an eye on it for...

Holy Moly! I weighed Pascal today who is 4.5 months and I have owned him for 6weeks...he has tripled in size! He was 22g at 12 weeks he is now 67.5g at 18 weeks... am I feeding too much or is this normal..I know veiled grow fast but goodness gracious..that is fast!!!

Just to give you an idea of feeding...I have a 17 week old male veiled..this is what he eats on a daily basis.. 15-20 small dubia(I do roaches instead of crickets) 1-2 hornworms, 1-2 silkworms, and 1-2 supers, +\- a few Phoenix worms. Hope this helps.

I use heavy duty magnets that I got from lowes and used a hot glue gun to glue the magnet on to the plant, limb etc. works great!

Me either!!! Crickets smell so bad!! And they are just dirty little insects. I'm loving the roaches.

Just got my dubia breeding colony in today as well as a mixture of good sized orange heads that I am goin to breed as well.. I am very excited! Also doing hornworms and beginning to work on silk worms. I have Phoenix worms I would like to give a shot but it is very hard to find a good and...

Gorgeous Jann!! I can't believe how fast they grow...Pascal doubled his weight in less than a month..44g at 4 months.

Thanks for the replies!

Curious if anyone knows if it is okay to feed any type of roach (besides dubia) to a chameleon? These are the ones I am interested in: Halloween hissers, orange headed roach, discoid, Red runners, and lobster roach. Would like to try something new for my Cham but want to be sure these were ok...

If u live near the beach or you are planning a vacation..drift wood works great!!!

I use a mixture. 1 part organic potting soil w.out fertilizer, 1part sphagnum moss and 1part crayola brand sand (because it is the safest sand and non toxic..w.no carcinogens.) That's just what I use but just plain old organic fertilizer free soil would probably do just fine.

Looks great..how old is he? My veiled looks to be around the same age. Do you have any enclosure pics?

They can stay in that container until they are fed off..and I dont know if it is ok yo refrigerate them? Maybe someone else will chime in? They don't really grow much and will not breed so you can probably just keep them with your other feeder containers.

They should have a very light kinda sweet smell but you would have to actually stick yiur nose to them to smell it. Maybe you got a bad batch?

It probably depends on your Chameleon. Some get more stressed than others. I clean my enclosure completely once weekly and clean out fecal matter daily. My veiled does not seem bothered by this, but I also take him out frequently.

Those are undigested cricket parts.. Pinworm ova looks similar to a football..sort of. If I had a pic I would attach it.

Was curious if anyone knows if it is safe to feed Squash bugs (Anasa tristis)? They eat winter squash and pumpkins. My mom lives on a farm and has a pumpkin patch and these bugs are everywhere. Would be great if I could use as a feeder for my Cham.

Last night he seemed to be ok with it, got him to even eat a little bit, but this morning he was really unhappy...I felt so bad for him..poor little guy, but he is looking much more colorful now and has some new spots on his belly. And he totally was giving me the "Stink Eye" :D

Came home today and Pascal had started his first shed since his arrival.. Can't wait to see him after he is finished...here is a pic of him mid shed...enjoy.
