To each his own ;)

Hello, As Heika has stated, they are great feeders but have short lifespands and are extremely hard to handle. Unfortunately genetic manipulations have not been conducted with houseflies to produce a flightless phenotype (cross fingers) ;). I too place the whole culture in the fridge for 4...

I also live in socal and have kept my chameleons outside with their primary water source coming directly from unfiltered tap. Obviously you should use filtered but I have not encountered any problems.

It looks like a Rudis?

I agree with Royden. I personally think the word murder should not be used lightly.

Try "stinky fruit" its usually located in asian supermarkets. It produces an exrememly fowl smeling scent that attracts flies. It is large and very spiky

I just noticed a dimple on one of my male dwarf jackson's horns. I'm guessing the horns on chameleons are made of keratin? I just figured that feeding them regularly with an assortment of insects gutloaded (Susan James wet gutload) would allocate the necessary nutrients to their horns. I'm...

Thanks for the support folks. I will definitely keep you guys updated. Ed

David, Both are absolutely amazing creatures. Although most of my experience with wc specimen IMHO don't seem to last long in captivity. All my current Meru's are cb or cbb and are hardy even in California's hot summers. All the wild caught Meru's i've purchased either never made it passed...

So it's that time of the year again! I was cleaning the cages today and noticed my 6 month old Meru bobbing his head at an older female. So I put them together and let nature take its course. Should be expecting babies in ~6 to 8 months (hopefully). Ed

He's stunning!

SOCAL moth question Lele, They hatched! I'm stunned i expected that they were infertle since they didn't turn yellow. I did as you suggested and took off the lid off allowing fresh air to circulate in the container. I'm still not sure what to feed them so I threw some leafy greens in and...

Lele, I currently have them in a deli cup with a screen lid for airation. Unfortunately none of the eggs are hatching making them way overdue. I'm going to give them another week because their still holding a turgid appearance. Thanks again i'll keep you updated.

I've been feeding moths to my chams for years and love how much money I save when spring and summer come around. So far no deaths but then again I do live near the mountains where pesticides are used less often.

Lele, Thank you so much for the information. The female died shortly after laying her eggs and now i'm stuck with approximately 500 eggs. The eggs havn't turn gray and have kept their yellow coloration. Does this mean that they are all infertile? Edward

Went fishing at seal beach yesterday and found a moth which I later identified as a "salt marsh moth." It was so beautiful I couldn't feed it to my chameleon which turned out to be a great decision because the bugger layed eggs! Does anyone know how to breed them and if their toxic?

Hey Jay, Try wiping some of the excess saliva out of his mouth with a q-tip. I've heard this helps with the wheezing and popping.

Jay its me Eddie! If you can I would demand a refund and have him pay for the shipping! Treating a URI is a hassle especially if you don't have experience keeping chams. Give me a call I got some leftover meds and a good vet if you decide on keeping him. Edward

No their definetely ignoring me. i hate companies that ignore you cause you want to see pictures of their animals before you buy. My friends and I are never going to order from them nor support their business. JUST SHADY!
