Just writing to say that my Jackson's cham Loki is dead. While on vacation in Costa Rica, I had a friend caring for him (who has before, for the same length of time).
He passed away about a week in, and I'm still unsure of why.
I trained her and from what she told me, she was doing...

He eats 2 days on, 1 day off with 4-8 gutloaded crickets each time.
We are in southern California where the temperatures average 75° plus a basking lamp after eating and on cooler days.

I know sunken eyes can be from dehydration. He gets dehydrated occationally and was for a period last month. However, I...
Thanks guys. The humidity where I live is pretty high, and he drinks a lot while I'm misting him. He just doesn't register water droplets on leaves if there isn't water falling on him in the moment.
Hey all, I noticed my Jackson's Loki was a bit dehydrated (orange urates, the first time ever), but I didn't know why.
I use a handheld spray bottle to mist him off every morning for three minutes or so, have a continual dripper througout the day, and handspray him for 5 minutes when I get...
When switching out cricket containers for cleaning, I noticed tiny black and tan striped maggot-looking things. Probably 1/8" and roaming around on the card board. How do I get rid of these, and what are they?
