Yeah…I feed my crickets similarly. I get/keep usually 1,000 per lg bin. For about a year I was buying from a mom & pop pet store to do my bit to support local small business. But they had domestic crickets and no matter what I did, more than half of them would die. Every 2 weeks I was buying...

Well, first of all, do you know what kind of crickets you’ve been getting? Generally pet stores sell the domestic variety, which will die if you look at them the wrong way. Banded crickets are much hardier, but you’ll probably need to order them on line. *look into variety packs from some of the...

I use root pouches, which kind of breath and prevent sogginess. If using a watertight box/holder, you’ll need to install a way to siphon excess water out from the drainage layer. This is what I used as a guide in setting up bioactive...

Yay! So much better now! To prevent recurrence of things getting stuck, keep an eye on humidity (30-50% during the day) and mist for at least 2 minutes each time, twice a day.

Soon…can’t wait! Gonna toss aside my cane and whooo 🥳 with my new knee

@JacksJill do you happen to know of any breeders?

I’m finding that this is a relatively normal thing for our colorful panther boys…they lose their vibrancy for a few months. I believe it has to do with their mating cycle. While it doesn’t happen to all of them, and it might not ever happen again to one, it can be a yearly occurrence. A few...

Hi and welcome to you and your beautiful little Rose. :) Sorry, but I have to ask about her eye. It looks like she may have something stuck in it (maybe a keratin plug?) or something else going on. Has she been to a good vet about it yet? Do you need any help in finding a vet who has experience...

Hi. I keep all of my crew in double wides which consist of two screen enclosures side by side and attached with wire or itty bitty hinges. (Was all I could find at Lowe’s) I have done mine the simplest way I could think of as I started before this came out...

Always thinking of you dear friend, and sending love and prayers for peace and healing. ((( 💗 )))

Oh yeah…that’s great! I usually remove them from whatever it is they are shipped in and place them in a soil/coco coir substrate (just enough to cover them and give a little room for squirming). Maybe once a week I moisten the soil a bit and give them something like shaved carrot, squash or...

I rarely leave Brevard county, so my knowledge is limited. Thanks to some bad arthritis, I actually rarely go anywhere. lol While I haven’t been there in quite a while, Rockledge Gardens is a nice nursery. https://rockledgegardens.com/ Incredible Pets is usually an interesting pet store...

I always feed all of my bugs, including the bsfl. The only ones I don’t feed is wax worms, only because if I do they are more likely to ‘cocoon’ (or whatever they do is called) and start becoming moths. Also, their diet is a bit different (bran mixed with honey). I don’t feed the bsfl as often...

Aww…babies! 🤗

It’s probably a bit late, but I just came across this and thought maybe it’ll help. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82v9pDF/

While most exotics vets will see and treat chameleon’s, they are not all experienced or very knowledgeable about them. Here’s our list of vets who are known to be experienced with chameleons and hopefully one is within driving distance of you.

Cute! He is cute and beyond, all the way to beautiful. 🥰 💗

@Sonny13 I know you have a thread of your set ups, but I can’t recall the title.

Hi and welcome! :) You’ve got a great start so far, but I do see some things to improve upon. Btw, I love her name, Ophelia…so pretty, just like she is. 🤗 By her coloring, I don’t think she looks gravid. Usually they darken up when they have eggs. Definitely always keep a lay bin for her...

Welcome back! Gorgeous chameleon. 🥰
