I just wanted to stop by and give an update on the females. 1. They are still in their temporary 12"x12"x24"h which are currently placed about 5ft off the ground(bottom of enclosure). Because they are so small I feel this an acceptable size enclosure in the short term, but I would like to get...

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, the male passed last night. I will, of course, take everyone's recommendations and adjust the husbandry for the two females. They are currently each in their own temporary 12"x12"x24" enclosure(vertical). Since I won't be putting them both back into...

Minor update: I have contacted a reputable exotics vet and am waiting to hear back about an appointment(it may be hard to get in because of reduced staff and hours). The cham has been drinking more when I target drip near him but still hasn't eaten today. I will try hand feeding again when I do...

> What is on the floor of the cage? Does he eat any insects that are on the substrate? That is just clean cardboard, I was trying it out as a way to wick moisture from the drip system to prevent bacteria growth, but I don't like the result, so it's being removed after work today. He does not...
