Yeah, I have 3 males and they LOVE Dubia Roaches, Supers, and Large Crickets. They are awesome and very, very easy going. Basically, idiot proof care and like eric said, they survive. I keep my guys in the low to high 90s for basking temps and they have been doing awesome. Congrats, I love...
Yeah, I went to the Tucson show last year and it was pretty good, crowded and hot, but good. I was thinking of just waiting till the Phoenix show in November. Does anyone know how the Phoenix show is?
Very cool. I did something similar for my guys by making a base and attaching some tree branches directly to the base and placing that inside the cage; essentially a bird perch (where I got the idea from). Your idea is very nice with the planter box, great job
Here is what one of my guys cages looked like a few months back...
Here is what another one looked like when I removed a lot of the foliage on the interior. I put just a few fake vines/leaves in the middle and hung most from the sides of the cage... You can't really see it, but the inside...
I hear you on the plants. Erik Sorg was who I got all three of my Oustalet's from around 2-3 months old and he told me that his little guys always love the foliage, but as they got older he mentioned to me that his male loves just sitting on open branches all day and my guys have followed the...
none of my three oustalets like plants/foliage. They will just hang out on there open branches all day long! As they have gotten older, they don't like all the foliage and just stay in the open and sleep out in the open too!
I believe mouth rot is associated with as a secondary infection. I read that some people site getting some parasites and what not from feeders which could weaken the chameleons immune system over time (which I could see making sense if you buy feeders and all it takes is one infected bug). After...
I kind of felt the same way honestly, cause I supplement all of my guys the same way and feed the same thing, but my littlest Oustalet had the issues with the black/redness. I checked online and couldn't see anything exactly like it, so I assumed it was from chewing branches. Check out one of...
You know I noticed some black/red inside my littlest Oustalet's mouth and was immediately thinking mouth rot, but I caught him chewing on his branches a little and thought that may be why, but I ended up giving him a 10 day treatment of reptaid just in case and it went away. So, wasn't sure if I...
Mine took about 1 month before I started to see babies. I was about to give up and then literally as I was going to empty my bins out, I saw tons of tiny babies. Now, 3-4 months later, I have thousands of supers and my beetles are still going strong. I give mine pieces of potato and a piece of...
I use ice cubes on the top with no issues. I also recently invested in some planter dripper nozzles for when I'm at work and school all day and I got a pack of 10 dripper nozzles plus tubing for about $7 at walmart! i just poked a small hole in the bottom of a regular plastic cup, put the nozzle...
So funny thing today... My one little oustalet who wouldn't touch roaches refused to eat anything else BUT dubia roaches today!! So, he is coming around, only took about 6 months and he munched down about 10 small ones today!!
I feed my entire colony a mixture I make plus fruits/veggies. The mix includes organic baby food (with bananas), flax seed (ground up), organic oatmeal, unsalted organic sunflower seeds (ground up), unsalted almonds (ground up), and in the mix I do throw in 1 dog treat that is basically pure...
Pretty BIG!! Here is a recent pic of one of my more colorful guys... He has some interesting shades of green/turquoise on his legs and face sometimes when he is really calm, otherwise, he will be the normal brown/red whites... This one guy seems be the most colorful while the other 2 males are...
