Starting the morning hunt for crickets. After eating 5 handfed!

The blue above his hip? I believe the breeder used marker ink for keeping track. Lol. If its the blue on his side, he’s developing some amazing colors. I cant wait to see how he develops.

There are lots of experienced keepers on this forum, and it's a great place to seek out help or share tips. You acknowledged the behavior was unusual and asked "Is this ok or is something wrong with her?? ". For help like that, people need more information. The form prevents users from having...

Well, he's eating and growing like crazy! I grabbed the original container he shipped in and there's no way he would fit any longer. He's still learning his cage. His new routine is to start coming towards the middle-bottom, under a bromeliad leaf as bedtime is coming. I slowly shut off the...

It looks like there is a UVB solar meter. I can't answer your question otherwise. UVB bulbs must use either a special coating on the florescent tube and a special glass to allow the UV light to pass. I suspect they're still mercury based as it appears mercury will put out light in that...

It does help. Unfortunately, the misting system I have only allows up to 1m of spraying. I can run it as often as every hour, but have been hand spraying to suppliment. I’m already thinking about replacing the misting system.

I have a misting system and am hand spraying. I’m in the northeast, so i use the misting system to mostly maintain humidity. As we exit the colder months, this will be easier as ambient humidity rises. I'm currently running it every 3 hours for 45s, but only during the day. After running...

Yes. He was very responsive and helpful. Very happy with his process.

That sounds about right. But I wouldnt say useless. It should help you track the deterioration of the elements in the bulbs that are putting out the uvb. A rough assumption is that the UV light is dropping equally. So watching the detectors output should help determine bulbs usefulness...

He's been hunting, but I'm trying to hand feed a bit to get him used to my hands. He's also been opening his mouth. A few times I thought it was gaping because he wanted some alone time. As I watched though, it almost seemed like he was thirsty. I know they'll open their mouths to...

I've seen a chart where silkworms have similar calcium to crickets, but I'm guessing the low fat makes them less filling so they will eat more. Also I don't think all of the cricket exoskeleton gets digested. A lot of calcium, is locked up and wont be absorbed with a cricket...

Had a fun night and morning with him. My kids got to see him feed. My daughter even got to hand feed him a cricket. We handled him for a couple minutes, but don't want to push him. Last night he ate about 4 crickets. This morning, he ate 5. One that we watched him hunt on his own. We...

I have the Reptirain. I'm already considering an upgrade. I'll give you my positives and negatives. Positives -It sprays water -Cheap -May be better for humid climate where misting isn't as regular. Negatives -Small reservoir -Misting times are only 15s, 30s, 45s, and 60s. Not fully...

Unless it's specifically labeled UVB, I would assume it doesn't have sufficient UVB output. If it has a chart of wavelengths, you can look at the output in the UVB range, but I still wouldn't trust it. I don't know if the term "full spectrum" is standardized, but I would presume most "full...

Amazing images! Thanks for sharing.

Our little guy just arrived and is getting used to his enclosure. He already ate a couple crickets and found a good spot for a drink. He looks to have handled the trip well. We had acquired him from Bruce Galbraith at chameleonparadise.net. Unboxing videos:

A few plants...

In the enclosure! But its gonna be tight with the plants.

Just about ready for my vacation... enclosure 99% finished! Need some silicone to dry, then mount it to cage back and then add vines.

The foreground and the background... Tonight I paint and hopefully start to add dirt to the spray foam. Leaving on vacation on Monday. I want it all setup when I’m gone.
