That looks great! Rookie question, here...but can I get the leaf litter and isopods from my yard? I'm guessing they may bring in fungus and parasites, though?

Good point about the babies benefitting from the frass. And I will definitely use it as fertilizer! I'm going to start researching bioactive :)

Very cool! I might give it a try once I get the whole Chameleon and Discoid roach husbandry down. My head is swimming with all the new info I've learned over the last week and a half!

Thanks! I have an old window screen. I'm going to try to sift some frass through it and see how it goes!

Hi friends! I'm expecting a delivery of Discoids today and want to set up a feeder bin - possibly evolving into a breeder bin. Does anybody use a self-cleaning system? (I'm not ready for bioactive, yet). I saw a tutorial on YouTube and wondered if anyone finds it useful to cut out the bottom of...

Hey Stephh! Dubia.com has FREE SHIPPING and a sale! I ordered 200 small discoids for $37. You have to go to the Free Shipping tab at the top of the page. The discoids are all the way to the bottom. 200 is a lot of roaches for my guy, but I'm hoping to get a colony started with them. I fed him...

Thank you so much for sharing! It gives me hope that he'll keep getting better! This forum and the folks on it have been lifesavers. I'm so grateful for all the support and advice. I'd be lost without it. Karma definitely has attitude, with his little hiss LOL. He has some old bone breaks and...

Great news, everybody! (Sort of) Karma is parasite free! The vet said he has some old breaks in his legs and is severely calcium/D3 deficient. He is very underweight for a one-year-old (only 35 grams). He's eating everything I put in front of him, and his color has been beautiful! He even let...

Awesome! Let me know how your colony goes. I think I may have to do the same! 😀

YES!! That's the company I ordered from!! I ordered 25 for $6! They should be here by the weekend. MUCH better price than the other sites I found. Thanks for thinking of me! 🥰

Thank you! I made an appointment for him on Thursday with a vet in Dunnellon - Rainbow River Animal Hospital. They specialize in exotics! The doctor listed from Ocala practices there now. Fingers crossed for a healthy visit! 🥰

Thanks for the referral! I'll check him out. Orlando is about an hour and a half away for me 😞 I'm in Ocala. Know anyone around here?

Yes! He has been a money pit! I literally just put in my order for the Dragon Strand ledges :ROFLMAO: I didn't want to take him to the vet just yet. He's been through a lot the last couple of days and seems a little stressed. Not sure how he'd handle a vet visit. I wonder if they'd do the...

Haven't tried silkworms. Today starts day three since he's been with me. I have been researching and setting up non-stop. I've gotten advice that I should get him a fecal check before moving him to his new cage. Is that routine or would he be showing signs of having parasites? I've spent sooo...

He's eating crickets. I want to give him some extra calories and nutrients. And the worms are easier to put the calcium powder on. Just trying things out.

Good point! I'm so desperate to figure out a way for my guy to eat that I actually HELD a waxworm, hoping he'd take it. Roaches are nothing compared to that! 😂

I found some that were a lot cheaper. I'll see if my guy likes them, then maybe grow my own. I'm a Florida girl. My whole life has been trying to keep roaches OUT of the house :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Did your chameleon have any symptoms?

Yikes! It's going to cost $40 for 50 discoid roaches. Anybody know of a cheap place to order them?

Thank you! I will check them out!
