    Cham handling updates

    I feel like all living things are creatures of habit, if they do something repeatedly over and over, it becomes expected and normal. I feel as if exposing your cham to this regimen of handling will allow him to develop a tolerance, this applied to my cham most definitely.

    Is this normal for my Cham?

    prolonged mouth gape is a usual sign of overheating, they usually do it to cool down, not to be mistaken with food, worse comes to worse it could also be an upper repsiratory infection, check your humidity, basking and resting temp in the cage and make sure all is well, keep monitoring him...
