If anyone has a male t.sternfeldi they are willing to part with please contact me.
CB or wild caught is fine, above 6 months preferable.
I have beautiful girl he'd love to meet :)
I believe you do have a male. He may be a little round, well fed ;), but his had characteristic spikes of a male and that nice long tail. I don't claim to be an expert but this is my opinion.
The male below and in my avatar show the same spines.
You can see one of my females below has...
Oral Medication syringe with aquarium pump tubing. Install and leave the tubing behind the cork background for easy hook up and syphoning of water. You can only take out 10 ml at a time but I thought it was an easier idea than drilling the glass. :)
I haven't had to use it yet (2 weeks)...
I loved how this new viv came out and just wanted to share.
Here is the tank planning with dry plant set up.
Here is after fully set up with cham on back wall

Find the pygmy Cham :p
Hope you enjoyed my little slide show.
I finished this tank two weeks ago and...
I like buying my silkworms in eggs and hatching them myself. I can order 2000 and place the eggs in the fridge only hatching how many I want at a time. You do have to feed them for a while though until they get the size you want them. I need very small ones for my baby cham and these are perfect.
Those are acuminatus (they are spikey :))
The short fat tail is the girl and the long tailed is the boy. Boys also have a larger nose. Wished I had some of these again but I will not pay the current price.
I fill the bottom half of my pots with sand. It really helps let go of all the extra water (just make sure you have a good drainage system for your cage) and it stopped all my plants from dying.
To hand feed crickets you can hold one of their back legs and hold them out for him. If you don't like to touch the crickets you can put them in a cup and hold it in front of him.

Always research before you get a new pet. Jumping in with no info is always a bad idea.
Vacation is always out. I couldn't stand if anything happened to them while I was away. Fortunately Spike is the only one who does this too me. The rest of them are happen for me to leave them alone while they eat. I would go crazy with four chams if they all did this.
Those are manufacture recommendations because of mineral deposits. The fogger will work on different water but you will probably shorten the life of your fogger. As mineral deposits build up from the water it will work less effectively over time.
So do you want to pay for water or buy a new...
Anyone else's cham this picky?! Spike only likes to be hand fed. Whether I'm holding the cricket or holding the cup with the crickets, he's not interested unless it's in my hand. And to think he used to hide from me when I first brought him home.
