Appreciate your share. We are doing the same thing. Vented on the sides and the top, we are using vermiculite as their base, possibly making it bioactive in short time. We feed carrots and romaine for food and hydration. We have tried the water plates, but they just find a way to kill themselves...
Hello all.
SWFL Cham family here. We have 6 Veiled Chams (2 girls and 4 boys). We also have other cricket loving animals, that is why we get 1000 every 2 weeks.
We are looking for ideas on how to keep large amounts of crickets. With the heat down here, we typically keep them in the lanai. We...
Sorry, I am on the defensive today due to issues not with Chams.
The sibling has remained green, no changes in color for him....
I do see a difference in their casques now that Berman pointed it out. Perhaps the spurs on Leaf (brown guy) aren't actually spurs?
We do recognize he is a bit small. We have two others from another female that are twice his size. His feedings and supplements have been on point, hubby is a frogger and you know how anal they can be about supplements... lol
We upgraded his space about four months ago (although a lot of the...
I am a tad cheeky at times. LOL.
He is one of the two offspring we have from our rescued cham Sola. She laid eggs and died shortly after. So I am pretty sure he is a veiled based on that but she was wild caught and we only had her for a few weeks before she died. She was obtained in the...
He is housed outside in southwest Florida. I have attached photos per your requests.
The lighting is included in the pictures. ☀️
The pic of him was just taken, and as stated above he has changed to this color without changing back for close to two months now.
Lastly, this weeks forecast...
Don’t know the specific hatch date, it was in June of last year. He is housed by himself, although we have other Chams. They can’t see one another.
I don’t have any other pics at the moment, and not sure why they are needed….. just wondering if anyone had any insight as to why the color...
This little guy is from an early summer 2022 clutch. He used to be bright green but has changed to this pale brown for a few weeks now. I’ve searched to no avail for explanations so I figured I’d ask here.
Thanks for any insight and guidance you can provide.
Previously displayed color for...
Hey all, I’ve got a female baby veiled (7 months old) that seems to have a strangled shed on her tail. She just recently finished her shed and this doesn’t seem to be getting better… what can we do to prevent her tail from further damage?
We have about 15 baby veileds we need to rehome near Venice, Florida. Local pick up only. We really want to do right by these babies so only want then to go to homes that know how to care for them.
The clutch of 27 started hatching May 8th. Really want them relocated by the end of June. By then...
Understood. That is why they are still in a container with the same amount of humidity they have been at the entire incubation time.
I am not a novice, but not yet an expert. I have done extensive research as well. I was only curious about the vermiculite and if it posed a problem. Eggs are...
They are in a larger bin with their incubation bin tops off. Humidity is staying in the 70-80 range with temps in the mid 70’s. Plants are misted twice daily and they have a shade cloth wrap so they aren’t easily startled.
They are moving around wonderfully. We have fruit flies for them tomorrow!
Sol'a's eggs started hatching May 1st! We have four out and about so far! She laid 27 eggs and so far things are going smoothly! The babies are a bit dusted in the vermiculite, something we should worry about or no?
Looking forward to seeing her babies thrive!!! Here are a few to show the...
