hey Stanley,,

[lisagr07]

I knew you did but hubby sounded worried.

not really, he hasn't been on here much at all so he hasn't been following our "banter"... guess he was worried i might not be getting Stanley and that i'd have a nervous breakdown... HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lisa

Stanley is such a handsome boy!

Tomorrow is the big day!

 

[lisagr07]

here's a pic of your new home, i think i'm through with the rearranging...

here is a new food option for you, dubia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what they and the crickets are having as a final meal...

along with carrots, broccoli and an orange slice, so they'll be fat and juicy!!!

Lisa, don't use brocolli as a gutload (or spinach) - they contain oxylates that bind to the calcium therefore stopping the cham from absorbing it when they eat the insects.

 

[jamncristian]

turnip greens
collard greens
mustard greens
dandelion greens
& kale

are all better options than spinach and brocoli

the only problem with those greens will be keeping my husband from eating them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on your new baby. I'm jealous, my wife shot down dubias so I can't have any.

"Do you want a chameleon?"

"Yes...."

"Then you're NOT keeping a box of roaches in my house."

 

[lisagr07]

12ish hours from now Stanley will be a resident of the 'Deep South" hope he like greens and cornbread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lisa

She will be my little girly The ONLY other female in the house. I don't think I will breed her, my boyfriend would freak so she will live with my other male once he is neutered. I definitely will post pictures once I get her, but they will probably be crappy because my grandmother has my camera so I only have my phone.

This just in - Stanley is here!

Already eating.

And with food comes...

 

[rendos]

We opened the box, misted him on a hibiscus, fed him, watched him poo, and here he is getting used to his new home.
