I don't know if this falls under miscellaneous or not and if I am out of line I apologize and understand if its deleted. My family and I moved to the Topeka area this summer and decided that while my wife would work I would become a stay-at-home dad and try to run a computer repair business...

Hello, I have a small project I am working on that I need help with. Its a 6'x4'x18" wardrobe that I am turning into a chameleon cage. I have side panels cut out of the front that need sanded flush and plumb around the edges, a door that needs a relief cutting out the middle leaving about 2 and...

I understand that Jackson's can have multiple clutches (is that the right word even though its ovoviparous?). My question is how common is this and, if it happens, is the gestation time shorter then the first clutch? In other words, while embryos are forming and about to be laid are there other...

Awhile back I posted this https://www.chameleonforums.com/newly-acqured-f-jax-gravid-thin-pics-59685/ post about my new female Jackson's. Well I dewormed her and took care of her and she became the picture of health. Today she deposited 12... maybe 13 lol hard to count babies! She appears to...

I KNEW my female jackson's (buttercup) was close to giving birth! I called it 2 days ago! Whoo Hoo!! Went to clean the chams today and found 12 - 13 babies that weren't there a couple of hours ago! OK ok ok... why this weekend?!? I have to go out of town this weekend! Calming myself... my...

Looking for a reasonably priced cage. Thanks!

Title says it. I do realize there are a thousand variables that could go with that. Generally speaking however for a well set up screen vivarium with auto mister.... Whats your best guess?

I have about 1500 or so superworms I bred from beetles I pupated individually. They are growing in powdered chicken scratch and alfalfa pellets. The worms themselves are just over an inch long and I am finding many pupae at the top of the container at about half an inch long... without having...

My last clutch just emerged and will be ready in a couple of weeks. I am selling 10 in a lot for $200 (only 1 lot available) or $30 individually. These have varying degrees of red. Father is a Sandfire and mother is a light colored normal (almost citrus). At this time I am looking for...

I normally grow crix, dubias, and superworms - (silkworms dont count) on 16% breeder chicken food (the 16% being the protein content) combined with 50% total alfalfa pellets (all powdered). Here is my issue. I am wanting to breed feeders for my local pet shops. To grow feeders en mass no...

So yesterday I took Buttercup my female jax out for some sun. While letting her ride on my hand on the way to her plant she LEAPED from my hand like a spider monkey, a good 4 foot fall to the ground. None the worse for the wear she immediately tried to sprint away at a blazing .2 mph or so...

Yesterday morning we purchased a new subadult leopard gecko from craigslist. When we got there it was severely emaciated! They had purchased it for a Christmas gift for their daughter and she never took care of it of course. The second is an approximately 10 year old female ornate box turtle...

So the city cut off a huge branch from a mulberry tree at the end of my street and left it sitting there for a few day. I was able to strip it of leaves and got a couple of garbage bags full. It will go bad before I will be able to use it as i have not as of yet been able to find a way to...

My silkworm moth breeding project has been a success so far. I have been researching it quite a bit but have some questions. From my research I am finding that this diapause thing is not a clear cut as I had assumed. I went into it thinking that if the eggs turned dark they were fertile and...

This past Sunday I picked up a Female Jackson's from a local reptile show with some hopes of eventually breeding her to my male. She was Hawaii wild caught and in the previous owners care for 5 months. She is in quarantine and hopefully de-stressing in her new enclosure. The previous owner did...

I am thinking of an alternative for a drip system for drinking only - not for replacing regular sprays for humidity. Would an air pump and airline (with or without airstone) in an elevated bowl trigger a drinking reaction do you think? Im trying to find a way to keep the chams happy without...

So I fed my Jackson's some reptiworms. Meh. He didnt have much intrest, too small and slow to illicit a response I guess. Well unbeknownst to me me several got into the soil of my cage plants (they feed on compost it turns out). About a month later Black Soldier flies were emerging on a daily...

Hi, I raised a bunch of silkies from eggs and have a couple of dozen I am setting aside to try and cocoon and breed the moths. Here is the setup I have so far and a picture of the size of the silkworm. Im kind of winging it here mostly but other then the cocooning box they will be kept...

Ive grown my first batch of a couple thousand silkworms to nearly 3 inches. The last time i gave one to my jackson's his tongue stuck to it but it didnt budge. He was literally dragged to the silkworm by his tongue and had to pick it off the branch with his mouth. I didnt realize they could grab...
