I agree with everything above! I know you said you got her a week ago and we have many customers nervous about this same thing in the first weeks of receiving their cham.
When chams get to their new home they are getting used to a new cage, people, sights, activity, other pets, etc. Giving...
Hi Ben,
I was reading this and it made me think. Breeders usually do post their chams fired up (us included) because we are always want to show how spectacular they look. It is probably important to include pics of chams at rest.

I agree! I love my male and female equally, but my female tends to tolerate humans much more! One of my will eat right out of my hand whenever it is offered. She is just a sweetie.

Thank you so much for the response. Things can get scary fast. Thank goodness for this forum!
After looking at the forums I did some cold soaks in sugar water, then took a q-tip with olive oil and gently pushed it back in. It DID go in pretty easily and has stayed there. Will monitor closely to see how he is doing. Thanks to the forums for info to help. And I would still love to hear if...
