Vacation ideas

[Franquixote]

I'm not planning on going away for at least a few months, but right now I have NO IDEA how I am going to get the bugs (dubia and orange head roaches, snails) and chameleon fed and cared for.

Do I try and find a sitter for the cham and hope for the best with the bugs (maybe a gravity feeder and drip system or something)? I don't have any options right now!
Tried BB flies 3 times, no dice. Also, you are all lucky if you can find someone to deal with cleaning cockroach bins and chameleon poop, I don't think I have anyone that I can enlist. Plus, the whole enclosure is so specialized with humidity and all...

Any ideas?

In my area there are reptile shops and exotic vets that will board.....have you tried that? That would be my only option as no one I know would be able to keep up with all that Stuart entails...

Also, if it helps (not sure how long your trip will be), when we had to evacuate due to hurricane Harvey, we were gone over a week. We lost some bugs but surprisingly a lot survived without fresh food or cleaning, even silkworms. Roaches can live through a lot....maybe just feed off as much stock as you can and then feed them good before you leave.
