    Thanks! I hate the color of the screws. I might try to paint them to hide them a bit. I should have painted the hinges too. And one hinge isn't straight. I guess several things annoy me about it, though I'm picky about things too lol (like the God awful quality of the picture). If nothing else...

    I'm thinking of a Panther. Sounds like dog food is a poor choice, so I think I'll stay away from it for feeder insects. FWIW, though, I had a massive colony of dubias a few years ago whose main diet was dry cat food. Not saying it was the best option, but they seemed to cope with it just fine. I...

    Yeah I made it myself. It's actually pretty easy. Most of my tools are in a storage unit right now as I just moved back here, so all I had was a miter box on hand. If I had my miter saw it would have come together better. But I think it came together alright for something that only took a...

    Much appreciated! Looks like I have a lot of ingredients to round up.

    I'm curious to get some opinions here. I work for a company called FreshPet. We make very high quality pet foods, and I get to take some home on ocassion. I was thinking of using the dry food to feed the dubias. I know this food is top notch for dogs; no preservatives, fresh carrots and berries...

    I don't believe this was ever used. I think it was my backup when I had a bearded dragon. On a side note, is there a particular UV meter you might recommend? I may have a PAR meter lying around somewhere, but I don't believe I have a UV meter.

    I have this bulb that's been sitting around for a couple years. I don't believe it was ever used. Does anyone know the shelf life on these? I plan to buy another one, probably the same kind as I really liked these for my Bearded Dragon, but I'd like to use this as a backup should the new one go...

    This got the wheels turning in my head. I like the grow box below the cage. I think I might steal that idea.

    Agreed for sure, though I wonder if I could provide enough lighting in an enclosure that tall for plants to thrive. Is there a list out there of plants to be avoided? I know the substrate has to be covered to avoid possible ingestion issues, but are there any particular plants to be avoided? I...

    What is it that the ones at the pet store have, or don't have, that makes them "pet safe" when compared to the plants you'd find at a craft store? Obviously things with heavy dyes or glitter and such would be things to avoid, but is there something else in particular to avoid? I ask because the...

    Thanks guys! So looking at plants for this thing, I'm thinking maybe just a ficus of some sort and some fake plants. Question is, what fake plants are safe? I assume most craft store stuff is a no no, but I don't know.

    I put this together over the weekend. My idea is to try to get the setup ready, get a feeder colony of insects going, and read up for a few months. If everything looks good then I will acquire a Cham. This is my very first attempt at an enclosure like this, so go easy ;)

    Hello guys! I'm looking to get into the wonderful world of chameleons! I'm doing some research currently, actually purchasing is a long way off. So a brief introduction: I've had all kinds of animals over my life. My last reptile was a bearded dragon. I previously have kept corn snakes, iguanas...
