I agree with the hand feeding techniques. Lure him out onto your hand with some food. Sort one arm as a branch and just keep slowly moving the feeder away. It may takes some time but at the very least he should learn to tolerate your presence and associate you with you good things so the...

Setup 2 looks more like my setup for my 4 month old Veiled. I have a Vicus plant in the centre/back left medium size wooden branch going from bottom front right and branching out in a Y to back left and back right. then a twisted fake vine from from front left sloping up to back right, just...

Yup. Saw a few yawns today and LOTS of rubbing. He wasn't in a good mood. He came out onto me during feeding but went dark and stripey almost straight away. Even gave me a hiss and couldn't wait to get back to his plant. Didn't even like me cleaning up his mess today, he normally just sits...

I just used a normal piece of rough sand paper. I'm in the UK so not sure on the US measurements. I used a 14mm drill bit which left me less than 1mm smaller than needed and sanded from there. Just wrap the paper round a smaller drill bit, push in and out as you go round a few times. Try the...

If it's from outside of the bulkhead between that and the plastic of the reservoir then it isn't the pipe. I didnt bother with a pipe cutter just used a Stanley knife. I'd be tempted to drill the hole slightly smaller and sand to fit. That way you'll be sure your drilled hole isn't that...

Does it leak from around the outside of the bulkhead or where the pipe pushes into it? I found I was being a little too gentle at first. I pushed the pipe into the bulkhead and it started dripping, lifted the pipe up a little to straighten it and it stopped until I let go and it started...

I've done exactly the same, front left corner just hung in place with some garden wire for now. It sprays the whole cage and seems to keep all of the spray in the cage. I do have the corner plate ready (as it's a mesh cage) for when I have time for a proper install. My Veiled is 16 weeks so I'm...

It is a brilliant piece of kit, i'd highly recommend one to anybody. My sisters and her partner have geckos and after seeing my one in action is already debating throwing out his misting system for a Mistking. I'm hand feeding and letting the locust free roam so don't have the food bowl issue...

Since getting my Veiled cham, Bob, nearly every person it's come up in conversation with has said "Ohh have you done XYZ to get him to change colour....." My brother for example last weekend said "Have you put him on a pink sheet of paper and watched him disappear?" Being family this allowed me...

Sorry, busy week with friends over from America and a wedding to attend this weekend. Yes, this Mistking is brilliant. I can't imagine not having one they are so handy and help alleviate any worry is going out for the whole day (I.e having to ferry Americans from London to York one day from the...

Do you mean supplies for keeping the live feed for your Cham or a decent setup for your Cham?

It's been a few days since i rambled on about Bob so thought I would provide a quick "poops and all" update (they're still brown with white urates). Bob appears to be in good health. He's found a sleeping spot (the first 2/3 nights he moved around but appears to have settled on sleeping on a...

Well I suppose me wanting a Tegu does put me in the mad category. The wife says to get a dog, I say a Tegu is a dog with scales. ;)

You're mad.... You're all utterly crazy.... :p:p

Good day for Bob. Munched his locusts in record time (still one evading him so will wait until I give him more) Nice healthy poop and urates. urates were even a little wet so.
