That was Convenient

So I'm forceping a couple of roaches from their box into the container I dust in before feeding, and I see an "escapee" running across the counter.

I grab it with the forceps to return it to the roach motel, and I realize it is not in fact an escapee (obviously a different species).

Free feeders are free feeders.....

For us that would be too risky because we have pestcides in every hidden corner!! (Fl is nitorous for those nasty large palmetto bugs eww!!) Not to mention we haven't quite got up the courage to pay to have roaches in our home LOL!!!

If your chameleon encounters an insect, he or she is entirely likely to try to eat it, whether it's one you give the cham, or one that shows up on its own. Some bugs can continue to wander about a bit after picking up pesticide. Don't know if "wild" bugs can get into your cham enclosure, or if this will ever be an issue, but something to be aware of.

I do not use pesticides in my house due to having herps and fish for many years....

Lloyd,

Don't invite me to dinner-I don't like roaches as an appetizer!

I wouldn't feed it to my cham who knows what that thing has ate and crawled on

Anybody who lives in South Florida and tells you they have never had a Palmetto Bug in the house is lying.......

Thank God for palmetto bugs. Northern folks are just jealous that their roaches aren't 1/10 the size as ours

 

[ciafardo 4]

yea and you floridians even came up with a snazzy name "palmetto bug" cause no one wants to say i have a roach in my house hahaha

You are 100% correct ! "Eeeek ! That's a big-ass roach ". "No, its just a palmetto bug "
