It wasn’t a blanket statement. I was referring to these parent in specific. I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

Because kids aren’t valued as a life. They don’t hold that title anymore. And because this is how parents think, it trickles down into the kids not caring for a life. No matter how small, like this cham with no doubt broken bones. The parents don’t care because the cham holds no value to them...

You know.. I’m going to say something and you guys are probably going to hate me for it, but its the sad truth of how kids are viewed by a lot of people today. Kids today aren’t had for the joy of starting a family, hardly anymore. Most kids today are from teenagers. Most kids today are from...

I agree with @Lennoncham. I made the mistake of feeding my girl panther mealworms along with crickets the first week i got her and she gained a little weight! Mealworms/waxworks/superworms in general should be only given as a treat maybe once weekly, twice TOPS if you give 1-2 worms those...

Not at all! That was actually really cool to learn xD i knew we used things from nature to make dyes and cases for foos and what not, like wax bugs(think it was wax bugs!) are crushed and used to make the outer shell skittles and M&Ms and other candies like that. But I didn’t know about bugs...

Lol, the chams name is indeed Tye-Dye!

I’m gonna say 240 silkworms :D

A Benjamin Ficus is only toxic if INGESTED in large amounts. It’s milky sap is also a skin irritant if not washed off immediately. So they are relatively safe for panthers as panthers don’t eat foliage. But if you house veileds i would be careful. Otherwise they are fine :) love the set up! So...

I don’t know why but Parabellum always seemed like a cool name for a veiled because they are the cranky ones of chams! So kinda runs along the lines of if you want to make peace with them, prepare for a long war and lots of trials and tribulations to get them to trust and tolerate us :p If I...

Heals pretty fast. May be only a hour-few hours to a day or two! Soon as the skin cells finally figure out no permanent damage was done! :D those darn cells! i would be very careful though and watch your cham closely the next few days though just Incase that fall caused a little more damage than...

It means he rubbed up against something that irritated his delicate/tender skin. Think of it like a light bruise. My girl got a small one on her back today because she went under too low a branch and it grazed her side. She’s fine, but it just discolors their skin from the trauma. In my opinion...

only bad if they start trying to eat it! But being as its on the outside of the enclosure, I wouldn’t worry about them ever being able to eat it! Shower curtains are thicker and meant to take water! So shouldn’t have to worry at all! Totally safe

Ghetto? What are you talking about?! That sounds amazing! Just cut it to size and stick some Velcro to it and the cage so you can easily remove and clean it or to air the enclosure out!

What Karma said! ^^^^^ its never even crossed my mind to use shrink wrap! I figured it wouldn’t be safe because its a soft plastic?

It might actually be easier to cover with a sheet? I’m in Texas too, and yeah i know xD its hard to keep their cage regulated! But if the experts here say no to a sheet, live plants are a great way to keep humidity up! As far as plexi, that’s going to be the price everywhere! Plexi for some...
