I would think that's a little close. You might want to either lower the perch the cham is sitting on or (the easier way) higher the light fixture.

If you have a spare insect cup or any container with holes. You can separate them into two groups: one with food and one without. They can last, from my experience, 2-3 days without food. You just have to rotate them. They grow slower that way. You can also put them in a cooler place to slow...

Can you nail it? Just make sure you nail it as flat as you can to the wood?

You can just get rid of the carpte all together. I'm not quite sure how european keepers do things (in terms of caging since it's quite different here in North America), but I would think that the carpet thing isn't that healthy for the cham.

He's cute. His colors are starting to show too. Is he your first cham?

Where did you get your fischers? Was it CB or WC? Are they hard to keep? I just got into chams this year and have been wanting a fischer for a while.

Fischers! I want to get some fischers in the future. EDIT: To answer your question here's what I got from this website: In my experience, eggs hatch after 11 mos at a temperature of 70-74 degrees. http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=30

It looks female to me. From what I've read, 3 months usually around the time they start showing signs of coloration. Some locales take longer.

Good luck with your hornworm project. Report back on the humming bird feeder, there are a couple of members trying to breed hornworms as well. Let's see who can complete the cycle first. =P

I know your sig says 1.2 and it looks like #3 is the only male by comparing their tails. From coloration, well from what I've read, it looks like #2 could be a female. They tend to be more colorful right, instead of the usual male. That's my take on it, but I'm not an expert and I've never...

I didn't know that. Mother nature is so smart.

Oh nice. Can you post pics of both. Which locality of GTP did you buy? I always like the bright yellow and red neonates but it sucks they don't keep that color. Not saying the green coloration is bad either.

This website: http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=57 Suggests 10-20% sugar water. I'm thinking a humming bird feeder should work, but I've never bred hornworms. The website above suggests you just hang a pastic cup with a lid with holes on it.

Here's a link for silkworm keeping: http://www.wormspit.com/bombyxsilkworms.htm https://www.chameleonforums.com/silkworms-101-a-7906/ I also think the hornworm and silworm chow is the same thing. They smell the same as well.

Silkworms prefer white mulberry (morus alba - also known as russian mulberry). But they can and probably will eat all members of the mulberry family. The red mulberry is the most common in the US. This is all from wikipedia btw.

Awww the teenage years - when the young learns to eat the hand that feeds them. Wait is that the preteen years now these days?

My friend's w. hognose likes to play dead all the time. It's actually quite funny when it puffs up and then all of sudden just fall dead. It's one of their many defense mechanisms.

That pic looks like a red-bar mitsio. Has the green with the red bars and white line and lips.

Why waste good food. =) Oh yeah, when I first started gutloading I bought all the stuff everyone suggested (like collard greens and lettuce). Well don't buy too much and don't buy something you wouldn't eat as well. It'll most likely be thrown away.

They'll eat anything, so the carrots and potatoes should work as well. One of the forum members said he/she used to feed his roaches apples and oranges. He/she joked that he'd eat the apple halfway and then give it to the roach.
