After months and months of persuading my parents they finally let me have one.
I have no pics yet! He is still exhausted from moving in so is sound asleep. I will get some today. He is a Sambava Panther.

He is just over 2 months old. He was the third biggest (there were about 40 chams to choose from..they were all sooo tiny).

I got him from a place called Millenium Reptiles... I was cautious about buying from a reptile shop but I found that he breeds them himself so it is much the same as buying from a breeder!

I was told not to bother buying a thermometer and a hygrometer... do you think this is OK?
Also.. the dripper drips every 8 seconds.. and the newspaper at the bottom gets very soggy.. is it dripping too much?

ok a thermometer is a most. you need to have a good basking temperature as well as a good surrounding tempereatures, how are you going to know this without one? what size cage do you have him in how. with the newspaper be careful. i dont think that is good to put at the bottom, i would replace it with a paper towel. im sure you know to cage it everyday. i dont know if the ink in newspapers is toxic or not, im sure its not but i wouldnt use it. do you mist the cage and how often? well good luck and get a few thermometers and a hydrometer.

You need to change your signature line girl! You do have a cham now. My first cham was a Sambava too. Keep working with this group. Scan through all the posts on caging and husbandry. You will get lots of ideas and tips from that forum. Congratulations!
