Poor guy... at least it was quick.

Wish I lived in FL. I'd make the little $%^&* talk.

As many different ones as you can handle. I generally have 3 different feeders at any one time but I switch to different ones every now and then. My cham has eaten dubia roaches, turkistan roaches, silkworms, locusts, indian stick insect nymphs and crickets. I also go trawling for meadow...

Just an update a month later - he's even bigger now. Think he could end up being a monster cham :P Though that may lead to a shorter life I still think it's pretty cool how much he's growing.

My guy keeps trying to shoot for my fingers whenever I put my hand in the cage. I had been handfeeding him to help him get accustomed to me. Today he just reeled himself all the way in and bit my finger :D Funny as that was I'm still afraid he could hurt himself. I don't pull away once he's...

16x16x24 seems small for a 6month old veiled... Mine is already in his 24x24x48 and seems very happy with it. He's the same age as yours or thereabouts.

Sounds like he has a major infection... possibly stemming from his previous surgery... But I'm not an expert and even if I was I would need to be able to examine him in person. He needs to go to a vet asap... If you don't want to put him through the stress of surgery or can't afford it then...

Even 5 foot is a bit small for a fully grown tegu. Should be at least 6x4 floorspace... preferably much larger though.

I was simply saying... A lot of WC animals don't make it.

This is true... but there is definitely a higher mortality rate.

She looks young... No older than 4 months absolute maximum in my opinion. I would say she's younger than that though. Probably 3 months as a guess.

Well... if his cham still isn't with him or it arrived dead he may be too busy to think of posting here for us. Still anxious though. I just want to hear there is a happy end and maybe see some pics of the intrepid little adventurer :)

Any news? Concernedface.

This. My thoughts are with you and your cham. Good luck :)

Most pygmies do afaik. Obviously you want to research the specific species befgore you get it but if you're just thinking of getting Brevicaudatus or similar pygmy species you can house them as a single male with multiple females without issue. Multiple males I believe is a no-go but I'm no...
