Oh man, I feel SO sorry for you! But that's the thing right, it's also really funny. Or well, your story is actually sad, but ten minutes after I posted this story here I was in bed laughing so hard I was crying. There is something so ridiculous about when you drop those things, and there is...

We bought our first grasshoppers today. We has been introducing them to our veiled Thomas and he was curious but a bit nervous, so he hasn't eaten any yet. Just fifteen minutes ago we decided to put them in the largest container we have, because they are really hard to get out of a smaller one...

Hi Fluxlizard! Yes, we tried every single method we could imagine: - putting them in a bowl (something we did for a bit because all the crickets just kept sitting at the bottom of his cage, where Thomas doesn't go) - putting them in our hand / between our fingers - putting the feeders on...

Okay, so our darling veiled Thomas has been on a food strike for a month. We've been able to seduce him into eating at least a few crickets and other insects by holding out carrots, cucumber, and courgette, but I can tell you it has been one of the worst months of my life. I looked at all...

Hi everyone, Our 9-month-old veiled Thomas has been doing incredibly well since he's been with us, up until his most recent shedding. First, his head fully shed, and as his belly began there seemed to be some stagnation. This was a week and a half ago. He's been on food strike ever since, and...

Carlton, thank you so much! I find it difficult to look for toxicity reports because some plants can be toxic to humans but not to animals. And, of course, I want the right information. It's a sad ordeal, because they are truly awesome plants and just right for my Thomas, but I won't put them...

Hi everyone, I just bought two new plants today that I thought looked nice, hoping to put them in Thomas's vararium. If they're not okay, I'll just keep them in the living room. I've been trying to find out if they can be put near chameleons, but I haven't found anything on the forums or...

It is a popular Internet meme in which usually a cute animal asks if it can proceed to do something bad - i.e. roll in the dirt - and because it in fact looks so cute, the character in the meme puts his hands up to his mouths, cries a little and says 'Yes, you can'. The meme is also often...

I know I'll be looking at my Thomas's photos in a year teary-eyed! Very cute, this little guy!

Lately, Thomas has been employing multiple techniques to get to a plant in the window. He has been on the sides of his flexarium for the past few weeks, coming up the the front whenever we are near. Another fun thing is that he steps right on the sides of his feeding bowl and onto our hands. He...

What a fellow! I love that red part on his body, it's so beautiful!

Incredibly cute, and congratulations! What a nice name for a little girl. You two have fun together!

Okay, I can't stop looking. She's too cute.

Wow, she looks so precious! Take many photos - once she's bigger people will go 'wow, she grew a lot' and you'll wonder if you spend too much time looking at her to even realise it. I'm going through this with my veiled right now. When I look at yours with her tiny casque... Makes me cry a...

You're right, Jannb! When I see him relaxing on a plant in the window, or climbing around a little I feel so happy! He seems incredibly active and trusting of us, which I love. I just sat next to him on the couch, and he immediately came to the front of the cage ready to get out. I'm going to...
