Kill it ! ! !

Apparently the monsoon misting system is a piece of expensive junk. Better to get a Mist Kind or Aquazamp misting system I've had my Mist King for just shy of 5 years and its running like a charm. And I forget to fill the tank and it runs dry at least once a week. Well worth the money.

This is what you get for thinking your Chan blew a brain cell and got stuck in the bottom of the cup...

This is how...

Mouth looks nice and clean. Trachea is clear. Can't see anything obviously wrong inside the mouth.

I have a very similar fixture. I use 1 reptisun 5.0 h.o lamp. I have no problems with my chams. I have 4 fairly identical setups. I have had no issues with calcium uptake. I did have an issue with vitamin A but its got nothing to do with lighting. I have my reptisun 2nd bulb in from...

You need to be careful with heat lamps. Never put the lamp directly on the screen/mesh of the cage. It can damage the screen/mesh and it will create an area that is way too hot and will burn your cham. You don't want to risk a burn. Take a thermometer or temp sensor and place it at the...

Wow he's beautiful. What did you do to fire him up so nicely?

I would definitely consult a veterinary expert. Could be several things. Gout Arthritis Fracture Infection (septic arthritis) Good luck. Please keep us updated.

I had a friend who successfully crossed a Furcifer oustaleti female with a Furcifer pardalis male. The result was some rather gangly looking chams that for some reason didn't survive to full adult hood. Who knows if this was the result of defective genetics or some problem in husbandry but...

Yes heat emitters can be dimmed. You can use them on the standard on/off style thermostats as well as the power proportional ones I'm not sure who sells it but there is something called the repti-rheostat. Its basically a dimmer switch with a plug to lower the heat of heat emitters...

He's a handsome man.

The second pic looks more to me like a thermal injury. I would elevate the heat lamp off the cage a few inches. Also take a temp reading at the basking site. High 80s low 90s at the branch directly under should be more than enough.

I'm not sure where the injury is. I don't see anything obvious that says bite. It is possible for reptiles to burn themselves on heat sources that don't feel too warm by our standards. I highly suggest using a thermometer in the basking area, Anything over 100 is too hot for most...

Check out Lightyourreptiles.com They are sponsors and they sell Arcadia lamps. The owner is Todd Venutus1 on here I'm sure he can answer all your questions about Arcadia lighting.

I just put a layer of peat moss on top of my potted plants. I've never had a problem with my Chams eating the material. One of my females lays eggs in her plants but it doesn't seem to bother her or the plants. A local reptile store uses screening material.

Hi, More than likely he's a boy. Females can have horns but its really rare and they stay as very tiny nubs compared to the males. He's a cute little guy.

I've used HQI lighting in aquariums. I know they produce quite a lot of ultraviolet light even UVc which is very dangerous. Most utilize glass lenses that drastically cut the UV output. They also use put out quite a lot of heat. I would only use them if I owned a UV meter.

If I'm not mistaken those beetles larvae are the little hairy worms sometimes found in cricket shipments. Cricket farms use them to clean up the dead crickets in the rearing containers. Museums and taxidermists use them to clean bones. I've heard that the hairs from the larvae can be an...
