the spirulina i've seen in the supplements section is mega $$..... anybody know of a cheaper source? Turtle pellets? ;)

for what it's worth, I've timed the mister to go off at 6:45, then the lights on at 7. That has been suggested as a way to mimic the early morning dew drink, followed by a basking opp before brekkie. :)

THANKS!! Thats an impressive list. Do you actually house each one separately (downstairs I mean)?

hehe....YEP

Very helpful, thanks! Would you be willing to provide a detailed list of all the kinds of bugs you feed? Each type of isopod, snail, etc? (And, are you feeding just chameleons, or other reptiles as well?) This would be really valuable info when perusing the feeder websites. Thanks again!

When you say "colonies" - are they breeding? Or do you keep them from breeding by not providing the required conditions? From what I've read, breeding gets a lot more complicated? (I'm asking about all your bugs, not just the supers) Thanks!

Ah, ok. I assume you cannot combine crickets, dubias and worms in the same cup, right? Thank you

Thank you Rst_Cham! Very friendly and supportive forum :) Good to know I'm not alone in wanting to keep the bugs as streamlined as possible...wondered if I was just an overwhelmed newb! (yass)

Thanks Beman! I had the top half of this chart but not the bottom - very helpful. Do you happen to know the origin of this chart? Also good to know about the space consideration for superworms. :)

Hi everybody. I'm a newb - I keep one veiled male, about 4 mos. old (Pete), I've had him about 2 weeks. So far, so good. I think I've got a handle on things for the most part, but the feeder situation is challenging for me. The feeders......I keep about 50 small crickets at a time in a keeper...

I think there's gotta be a medal for # of roach varieties tried ;)

Same thing with my veiled adolescent. Made the feeding run cup, works well but the little guy won't eat small dubias OR S-worms, either... maybe its lack of movement (compared to the crickets) or lack of appeal. Gonna place them on the screen and/or branches tomorrow and see if that is a game...
