Hi brad
Took alook at reptisafe and it doesnt say anything about fluoride so im not sure if it will deal with it, chamgirl might know if it does. I replace the carbon filter every 6 months (as this is what they state you should do) Dartfrog is a great site and they are keen to offer advice...

mealworms
Hi
Mealworms in my opinion arnt really that good a livefood for chams you would be better off with zophoba morio (super worms) these are much larger and far more easier for your cham to digest. Try placing them on a branch so they crawl on it and look natural looking, failing that...
Recipe
Hi brad
Dont have any recipe's for chow but this link tells you not to bother and leave it up to the people were it comes from

Handling
Your chams agressiveness will lesson with time and gentle handling once a week DONT over do it, it causes stress and will do more harm than good
cheers
Hi brad
Thanks for link but had already read it (sorry) i was just wondering if you or anyone else in the states knew of or use them for livefood, ive been told by the person who i will hopefully buy them from that he feeds his chams them and they love em, also by some breeders from...
