I've got tons of dubia if you're interested - all sizes including breeders. PM and we can go from there.

Looks to me like you have a male. Sleeping during the day is not a good sign. I see you have an infrared heat lamp. Hope you are not using that at night. Your 5.0 repti sun (placed about 6 inches from a perch) for UVB and a regular incandecent bulb (50-60 watt) for heat is all you need - let...

I have a modest collection and have noticed this condition on one of my females as well so I too am interested in this post. I assume that it is due to overfeeding as I had been offering larger hornworms 3x/week for a couple of weeks in addition to the regular diet of crickets. I dust all...

Thanks - I won't worry then!

I have a large older female panther that was bred to a younger male 36 days ago. She exhibits the gravid coloration yet continues to eat everything offered to her and dosen't attempt any digging when put in her laying bin. Thinking that the breeding didn't take place, I introduced her to the...

I think he looks fine but to echo what others have said, I too keep my basking spot in the mid 90s. Also, if you are using a reptisun 5.0 you'll need to get that UVB basking branch 6 inches from the bulb for it to be effective.

Young Nosy Faly getting some sun

I use an 11" wide x 8' long strip of flexwatt heat tape found at The Bean Farm. Its super cheap and does a great job. I have my Dubia in Rubbermaid containers that sit on a 2x8 plank of particle board. The flexwatt is sandwiched between the wood and the rubbermaids and it all sits on a wire...

Im suprised no one has mentioned the Sun Glo lamp that you're using. From what I undersand, a strong UVB lamp can cause eye irrtation/damage. The first sign is a reptile closing its eyes. The 5.0 is all I use and I supplement with calcium w/d3 once or twice/month. If I get them outside a...

Here are a few considerations when taking pics of chams: 1 - lenses have a minimum focusing distance. I have a camera that uses detachable lenses (I know yours is a point and shoot but...) for close up work I need a close up (AKA macro or micro) lens that allows me to get very close to my...

I have a couple of mature female Nosy Falys that I'd like to have bred. They are supposed to be captive hatched but I suspect the guy I bought them from is dishonest and I'm begining to have serious doubts that these gals are indeed Faly. I've had them for 2 months. I had fecals performed on...

The answer... I sure hope Olimpia is right because this little guy is supposed to be a nosy faly. He was hatched from a wild caught female back in December and I purchased him in February on a chance. The pics that I have seen of his sibling brothers all have red rain at this point except -...

This is a 4 1/2 month old panther chameleon and though I know what its supposed to be, I was wondering if any of you experts had any opinion as to its locale and why.

He was in the same small tree as the female when the male nosy be moved in. He saw and didn't care.

I had two Ambanja females ready to go with smooth pink coloration. I placed the first one in the male Ambanja's enclosure on the 20th of last month and he immediatly went to work. I kept her in his cage for two days and she developed strong gravid coloration (she laid 30 good looking eggs over...

I have a 5 month old male from this line as well. He has great colors already and am excited about having him in my breeding stock. Good luck with yours.

I took a chance on those hatchlings from Bruce as well. Glad it worked out. The male that I have had awesome colors at 2 1/2 months and just keeps getting better daily. Looking forward to the next couple of months.

I think its very odd that there is so much color varitation from locale to locale. I wonder why that is? Anyway, what's going on at Nosy Faly just shows how easy it is to upset the "norm" and is why I strive to keep my lines pure. Not that there is anything wrong with breeders trying to...

5 large and 3 pretty small. The other 4 are normal sized.

With nesting bins it seems I've done it all and the best thing I've found is to go to Walmart and buy a 30+ gallon trash can. Fill it with a foot or so of plain top soil with no fertilizers (may have to go to a nursery to find it). Place a couple of branches in the can with some plastic vines...
