I recently acquired a Columbian ('gold') Tegu. I was looking to nerd out in excitement with anyone else that admires these brilliant intelligent creatures inside their home! She is 4 months right now, so is still pretty tiny, but Im beginning my planning stages for her large custom built...
I've never seen this from my boy before! He's my first veiled ~9months old. Could this be the reason why his appetite hasn't been normal lately (thus causing his bowel movements to be less frequent)? The urates say that my hydration is okay... I'm confused! Lol Is this going to happen every time...
Alright, so I just finished at the vet a few days ago. We did a full check of my husbandry stuff, so I'm not going to bother giving any of that. We've also done an xray to eliminate any possibility that we misread my cham as female in case eggs were a problem. He's male for sure. There is...
Hello, I have my boy going in for an exam (he's showing signs of MBD and hasn't been eating to get the vitamins, he has proper lighting etc...) I'm concerned. Thus I have him in for this Thursday. It will include a fecal and a full exam at a Vet which I have heard great things about from the...
I have begun research into another chameleon. I currently own a veiled. Without going to the US the only other species I have access to would be a panther. (Though I would much prefer a carpet, I'll slowly expand... Maybe one day in like 5 years I'll figure out how to get a chameleon across the...
I know there are a bunch of things against petsmart and stuff on here, but let me just add another... The petsmart in my city has only ever carried veileds. And not to say anything against veileds - but its just a little bit better than carrying other species due to the fact that they are of the...
Okay, so its my first time leaving the house since I got my boy (9mo veiled). I'm only going to be gone for 3 days. His lights are all automatic, and (though hes currently on a hunger strike anyways) I'll have some crickets in the cage, in addition to the praying mantises that are already in...
They are so tiny (and there are so many that I don't want to open the cage to get a proper picture) but my praying mantises hatched!!! My veiled has been fascinated watching them, but I haven't caught him eating one yet. Getting the pod was merely an attempt at keeping up with the variation in...

I found this on sale. No clue how old it is. No clue anything about humidifiers, or what to look for, or what I'd need in regards to chams. I do know I'd like to find one to help maintain humidity in my screen enclosure. I already have a drip system, however with the bad ratings, I don't want to...
Day I brought him home:
A few days after settling into his enclosure:
(Which I have changed so many times since starting, but hey, I learn!!)
First shed:
First deck trip (to an outdoor enclosure) for some real sun:
Few days ago:
He was stressed after being relocated for cleaning his...
I have a bioactive Viv already set up and thriving, it just needs its primary inhabitants! Already own a veiled, and have/had both a newt and several firebellied toads successfully in a bioactive (of course in separate enclosures).
Not sure about some of the sources I've found on my own, so I...
Okay I have to be the only person on this earth that has had trouble breeding these damn things! I've read about breeding crickets and tried a bunch of different "set ups" and still no pinheads!! :mad: I'm sick of running to the store every few days! None of them are dying on me... but why...
Okay, so for anyone else who hadn't bothered to look up what hornworm pupae looks like because your cham just gobbles them up too fast for them to last that long... here is what I found after transplanting my ficus plant.
After thoroughly freaking out that some unknown cocoon-like thing of...
Firebelly toads! (Technically frogs~)
I had a 10G tank that was empty since my fish died a while back, so I decided that today was the day to get it back up and running! Just wanted something simple that wouldn't outgrow the tank - thus, this little guy! Since I've never had one before...
Minor concern, but following his shed, I've noticed some color changes... which I KNOW is normal, but I figured he'd get brighter... not like this. Maybe I'm just being over critical, but I've been noticing that there is a white line developing on the back edge of his casque. (I'll attach a...
Was wanting your guys' opinion about one of these for a very rare "treat" for the sake of variation in my ~8mo veiled's diet. Just looks like a cool thing I can put in with him and if he eats it, he eats it, if he doesnt, whatever. Worried if it would be too sharp or too big for him to eat...
(If this is the wrong thread, I apologize!)

I've had the hardest time finding silkworms in Canada that would be an order less than $100+ I have been searching from Vernon to Westbank and everywhere in between trying to get silkworms...
I got a cat when I was a teen, and ever since I dedicated myself to never using harsh chemicals again. I don't even have bleach in the house. I clean mostly everything with varying percentages of diluted vinegar (sometimes not diluting it at all).
I'm wondering if this is one of those...
