I agree with Tygerrs answers. But if you get your cham to eat from your hand you can use that to get your cham out of the cage. I do it like this: 1. Put your hand under the spot your cham is sitting. (do this slowly so he doesnt move away) 2. Offer him a cricket with your other hand...

Thats good about the calcium. At this point I dont have any ideas. Go for the tip you got from John. Since you have a female its important that you dont overfeed her. If you do she can start develop infertile eggs at a very early age and those clutches can be big. And this is not healthy for...

I read that he has been living on Superworms. Maybe that has something to do with the problems (can be harder to digest) as well? Just an idea... If you and your cham hates cricket do as I do and switch do roaches (B. dubia). Quiet and my cham loves them. Hope everything turns out well!

You dont have to offer fruits and vegeables. From what I heard they often start to chew on leaves etc. when they are nearly adult. But you just mentioned vitaminsupplement. Dont forget to give calcium as well.

Agree with everyone, great pics! It must be tough to go on a rollercoaster first thing after birth. :D

Kitty, is a really nice fellow. Can you take him to Sweden and introduce him to my female? Whats the history of his name?

I think 70 % humidity sounds high. Between the mist let it drop down to 50-60% and around 90 % after misting. So I don´t think you need a fogger if it is not really dry where you live. So go for a mister if you are about to choose. But I cant help you to choose a product.

You can use pressure treated wood. http://www.chameleonnews.com/diycage.html I think its looks good too.

I dont think you have to worry about the temps in the lower areas of the enclosure. Different temps is good for the cham if it needs to cool off. Your night temps at winter I belive could be ok. But i think there can be problems if the rooms is draughty (spelling?). But if I´m wrong about...

Grats! Always nice with babypics!

Nice ones! Photos on the small cages and more on the small ones is allways welcome. As said in other forums KUTGW! (for you who dont know what i mean "Keep up the good work")

Really nice cham! You sure go blind when you look at them every day. Had a turtle once and I didnt think it growed at all auntil a friend came over and thought she was huge :rolleyes:.

Thanks Tygerr, you wrote what I had in mind but forgot to write :). What I meant with clutches was both fertile and infertile. I have a female which is nearly 2 years and hasn´t shown any signs of being gravid. And Im glad as long as she doesnt. I hope I can do as good as Kinyonga!

I dont think you need a stronger baskinglight. But you need to check the temp so it doesnt get to warm. Young chams can be overheated quite fast.

If you could post a picture of here it would be great. But Phatturk is right. Overfeeding a female can lead to huge clutches. I heard of clutches as big as 100 eggs. And that is not good for the cham. The more you feed them when they are young the faster they mature and can produce eggs.

The cage looks great! I have my own thought of building a cage and its allways good to get inspiration from nice ones like this. The lower pic is about 1500*2000 pixels that may be the reason why its so big. The upper one is just about 640*500.

A ReptiSun 5,0 for UV and for basking you can get a regular spot-light. And when you cham gets older you can buy bulbs with higher wattage (75W-). I think Exo-Terra has this kind of bulbs. Look here for more info on UV: http://www.uvguide.co.uk/ Edit: Saw that you wanted tips for fixtures...

But what have you put in for her to lay her eggs in? That is more important than how large her cage is at the moment. Is her egglaying site deep enough?

If you plan to buy a cham i suggest you visit these sites. There you find basic information about keeping one. http://www.chameleonsdish.com http://www.chameleonnews.com http://www.adcham.com

No cham is an easy pet. And those chams which are most recomended as a beginners choice, Veiled and Panther, require big cages. So I suggest you wait to get a cham until you are sure you can provide enough space and such. As mentioned in the article that was referred to earlier in the thread a...
