Hi all, i read that Chams love Walking Stick bugs and that they are easy to propogate but it did not say how to propogate them. Anybody know how?

Just do a google search for Phasmidae or Phasmids and you'll get a whole bunch of hits with husbandry tips.

First of all, where did you get them? I want to get some walking sticks! If you need any information, just e-mail Jim Nozaki of Amazing Blue Reptiles. He feeds his chameleons walking sticks and I am sure he knows how to take care of them.

As long as you just give them plenty of food they will do all the work for you. The one thing you do want to make sure you do though is once they get around breeding size, typically around 3 months after they've hatched from their egg case, you don't change the lining on the bottom of their cage. I have seen people use Orchid bark as substrate but I use newspaper because it is easy to replace and see when they start to drop their egg cases. Provided you get the temps around what they like and mist once every day or two you'll do fine. What species are you working with? If you have Annams, Vietnamese Walking Sticks, jusy follow this recpeit you'll have a huge colony in no time. Just so you know, the Annams like it a bit cooler (around 60-70 degrees).
