oh and when you do get another be sure to thoroughly clean that enclosure and replace everything inside or deep clean so your new Cham doesn't catch anything. I know you're disappointed and feeling down but in my opinion you did all you could and more with your set up and research 👍

Sorry for your loss and thank you for keeping us updated. with that heavy of a parasite load he may have been wild caught. Hopefully you get your money back, there are several breeders on this forum that you can get a healthy captive bred from. Best of luck and thanks again

I'll look into that 👍 67° interesting

I only fog at night for a 2 hours after sunset and 2 hrs before sunrise, the mister kicking on in the middle of the night may startle or wake him. I set misters to go off in the morning for 60 seconds 15 minutes after sunrise to give a chance to drink, I'll manually override my timers once a...
