It would be wise to look at gut load an d supplementation too, I’m prettty sure chams do this when they aren’t getting something in their fried that they need sometimes Best of luck

Any soil ingestion is an impaction risk - I have this issue with my Cham with lower pots he seems to be drawn to the water You can cover the soil with smooth river rocks to prevent him from getting to it you can find them at most garden stores

I wanted to make sure the 3 I started with would stay stable before filling it to the brim I’m gonna branch up some more spots for him too

I’d like to make the left side of the cage look more like this for him

I’m thinking he’s drawn to this spot due to the negative space, I’m thinking of adding a 4th planter, are we thinking a 2nd money tree to flesh out the lower canopy more?

Because if he does (worst case scenario) any permanent enclosure you make him would have to be stripped down so it’s a good idea to do this before doing anything else (This was the error I made when getting a Cham, I built him out a permanent cage and it turned out he did have a parasite so I...

When he does poop before you make him a super involved set up it may be a good idea to get him screened for parasites

Hi and welcome, other people will have more helpful input than me but I dropped in to let you know that red light can actually be bad for their lil eyes, recommendation is no colored bulbs standard white light w/ 12 hr lighting cycles

I only speak bluntly because my Cham had to go through two rounds of meds to clear the parasite, and that meant him being quarantined between 06-24 and 12-24 because he needed multiple rounds of medication and fecal tests. The fecal tests at 60 bucks a pop cost me a few hundred bucks, the meds...

I’m just being straight with you, you were given advice and you’re not listening to it. If you’re not willing to quarantine your Cham he’s not going to be able to clear the parasite. All the wood is porous. All the plants are porous. They all harbor the thing your Cham is sick with. Being...

It’s honestly the best move to do so. Having to force their mouth open to administer meds is stressful on you and the animal, it’s better if they just eat it without realizing they’re taking meds

Temporary cage is definitely the move. Even a 18x18x36 since it’s temporary is fine. Easier to sanitize a smaller space too.any plant cover should be high up where he has no way of pooping on it, plastic plants are usually a no go but I used some for cover in my quarantine set up. A huge thing...

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s stressful. When my guy had coccidia I put him in a temporary cage with minimal perches, he had to do multiple rounds to clear the infection and I had him in a minimal cage with no cover for like half a year and it was terrible.

I’m due for a tidying session @BleuSaphir

Good luck everyone. :)

Hello, and welcome to the form. I’m sure someone would be able to help you if you filled out the husbandry form, I will say at a glance the highest perch seems like it’s too far from your uvb light With a t5ho you want your highest branch to be 9 inches away to put them at the correct level of...

He’s so dapper, he comes down like this when I mist in the evenings

All things considered I think your little guy is lucky you’re the one who found him. :) and welcome.

He has a big personality too
