I wouldn't have substrate cause you run the risk of impaction

at least 1-2 times a week

Honestly, u dont really have to clean it, just pick up the poop right when u see it, and maybe dust the screen sometimes.

I think every 2 weeks to once a month.If your chameleon is very dirty which I doubt more frecuently

 

[Lizzie The Chameleon]

when chameleons aren't able to digest something properly, there for can't pass it through feces, they become constipated, and eventually pass from that

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

alright... bleach, or what?

When they eat substrate and it gets stuck "Impacted" in there intestines

constipation.... what a horrible way to die.

They need specific conditions to breed. These are not the house roaches that infest. I had a hard time at first but now they don't bother me. I can't stand crickets and the dubia were the lesser of two evils for me. I keep a pretty good colony going. I've had my dog knock over the bin before and I got most of them rounded up pretty quickly but I missed a few. Found them dead very shortly after. They don't last just loose in the house.

Also, the uvb bulb should be changed out every 6 months. I hope your taking notes. LOL.

Thats nice to know, probably still wont feed them though, i just dont like how they can survive a nuclear bomb. Lmfao.

 

[Dumzy]
