Clever!!! Hmmm... I might try something similar. Problem with max is that he poops pretty much every time I take him outside so mine would need a poop tray lol

It’s crazy how many there are now! I wonder if the canyon isopods are native to Colorado (And I could let some go)

I just had a thought, chickens can eat roaches, right????

I really didn’t keep track of how many adult males I let reach adulthood. Now there are too many roaches! On the up side, I haven’t had to buy Cham food in a long time since I have the roach and isopod colonies plus I breed silkworms, snails, sticks, and grasshoppers. Then again, my laundry room...

I didn’t think about CL, I think I’ll try that since I don’t want to mess with trying to shop insects, especially in this heat. Thanks!

Yes, that’s how I got into this mess, with one little baby boy panther. And then he was a pain and wouldn’t eat his roaches as a juvenile, though luckily he loves them now!

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding management of roach colonies. I currently have two large bioactive roach colonies (orange heads and Dubia). I set them up last summer with about 25-30 roaches of each type and added about 10 giant canyon isopods to each Enclosure initially just as CuC...

Oh wow! Terrible twos, that’s funny but yikes! Veileds have such attitudes some times. Good thing you know how to handle them since you just got another! I can’t wait to see your free range wall. I really wish my husband would clean the garage so I could have space to get out there and build...

Aww, what a little cutie pie! Love his name, it’s perfect. Wow in his enclosure!!! Lucky little guy.

I fed my roach colonies watermelon for the first time this week, I was stunned when I went in to check and only rinds left! Guess they liked it.

Today my boy got two orange head roaches, a black soldier fly, a giant canyon isopod, and a stick insect. I love how easy he is to feed as an adult now, he wouldn’t eat his roaches as a juvenile but now they are staple and he loves them. Food doesn’t last long in his enclosure.

The females have larger bodies and smaller wings then the males so they are pretty easy to sex and pair up. I currently have one lonely male moth right now, he's adorably sad.

I am in Denver. I do see my cham drinking off his leaves in the morning once his misters come on (because I am unable to get nighttime humidity up without blasting the fogger on high). I always thought this was fine but after reading this thread, is this method of hydrating (him linking water...

Sorry Natalie, just realized I never replied to you. I was running two 30 second sessions (One at 8am and another at 8pm) with my new Mist King. (Until yesterday when my reservoir sprung a leak and long store short is my timer and pump both got wet and now wont work! I think I'm going to have to...

Hi, this topic is of interest to me. Can’t claim I’ve read every word in this thread or pretend that I understand it all (NOT a scientist, I just have one 13 month old Panther Cham) so I hope you guys don’t mind me commenting. After listening to the hydration podcast last summer I made some...

I don’t know about dart frogs but last summer I raised up three hundred fire bellied toad froglets and they ate a whole lot of fruit flies. I had 15 cultures going and found it very easy using josh’s frogs Culture medium. They are stinky though, FYI.

Wow! I’m lazy and never tried germinating mine. My sticks have been eating winter creeper all winter which is easy and grows in parking lots near me. I put the sprigs in water cups and they last weeks. Now that I have them being misted twice a day with the mist king they are very low maintenance...

I like giant canyon isopods. I started with around 25 in my bio active roach bins and now have hundreds, they seem to breed with hardly any effort at all.

Yes to mist king! I love mine so much I just bought a second one for my other room and have it misting my stick insects, snails, and anoles. They are so great, you’ll be very happy you got one.

Welcome to the forums! I put my male panther in his adult cage at 3 months, no issues at all. I use a modified $10 sterilite container for transporting to vet visits and for when I’m deep cleaning cage. He’s in the standard 2x2x4 and now that he’s adult I’ve actually decided to custom build him...
