I have always seen silkworms in a variety of trees around where I grew up?
My question being are these silkworms okay to feed? Or should I just grab them out of the tree and try to breed them? or could I gutload them and "cleanse" them like you would crickets and other feeders? Thanks!
Alright guys, so every since I moved merlin into his big boy cage he has started acting strange. He used to be very sweet , but now not so much. I've tried everything, I offer his favorite foods and no response, I try to wear all white when I get him out, and If I get him out he frantically runs...
I would normally post this on the great grand thread, but Merlin was showing some awesome colors outside today and I couldnt help but share!:) The picture does my little man no justice! I was in awe when he showed me these colors!

When you look at your calcium bottle, the front should say with d3 or without d3. D3 is a...
Yeah I built my cage too, so I understand where you are coming from:D
I actually made a splitter for my cage so I could control how big his cage was as he grew
I just use reptivite, its the same as calcium in terms of "dust"
I would still bumb up his feedings, and im glad you've done some...
Your schedule looks fine IMHO , if you miss a couple a days a month thats ok. Once your chameleon gets older then it will change, adults dont need nearly as much supplements than babies
Welcome you come to the right place!!!:)

Both, you can either have a stand that raises the level of the heat dome to 4-5 inches above the cage so that way if you little guy is at the top he wont get burned, or you can site the lamp on top of that cage and make the perch 5-7 inches away from the lamp depending on temp of basking spot. I...
Wow! I can't beeline how fast everyone is growing ! Seems like yesterday when I first got Merlin. Merlin has started showing more of his big boy colors and surprised me today by coming down from his free range, across the bed , and onto my leg as if he was saying " hey you, stop looking on the...
Hello and Welcome:)

Do you mind me asking what the temps of your room are and where you are located at ?
I wouldn't overly mist him. I would use very warm water and start at his tail and work up his body. But if you stand a little ways back from him and mist him to where the mist comes out very fine It should be fine. Just make sure you give time for him to dry.
Yes that's normal, I wouldn't even worry with a fogger then.
You want to have spikes in the humidity after you mist, but you also want to have enough time to allow the cage to dry out between mistings. Between the mistings and dripper that should be plenty of water and humidity for your...
