I think so... I'm now deep diving soil research because i don't trust the one I have. If it's in one, it's in all of them because I reported them all at the same time with the same soil. 😭

Well tomorrow will be an obsessive plant cleaning day, I guess. 😔

I'm just finding I have the same situation! My soil in the pots in my enclosure is organic potting soil with no nitrates or fertilizers. My cham is luckily not eating them because they are in the plants at the bottom of his cage, but I'm wondering how much I should be freaking out. Ugh. So gross!!!!

That's some healthy looking urate! He's adorable! Welcome to the cham fam! The thing I have found through almost a year of ups and downs is: you're going to worry about them. They are stressful and wonderful little creatures. And as long as you're wondering "Am I doing this right?", and seeking...

In your car!?!? That is nightmare fuel right there. On my way to get Terro drops. I'm totally stunned. Everything I got yesterday is in separate sealed bags at this point. I couldn't believe they ate the silkworkms alive. 🤯

Hi there chamily, I got a shipment of bugs yesterday; dubia roaches, silk worms, horned worms, BSFL (the usual). I bought them from a reputable source I have ordered from many times. (I don't want to name them here yet because I have reached out to their customer service and am waiting for an...

Thanks! I sure hope so. I hope I'm just being paranoid but at this point I would rather be safe than sorry. I hope your mystery gets solved. Worrying about them is the worst!

Glad to hear you're seeing some improvement! I am also fogging like crazy at night because I'm struggling to keep the humidity of his entire enclosure up. He seems to like it though because he tucks in for bed right under the fog. My guy is on his way to the vet as we speak. First time I haven't...

Going through something similar. My guy had an RI that we did a course of antibiotics for and 12 days later, still gaping and taking big, deep breaths. Some days he has stringy saliva. Other days he doesnt. No nose in the air breathing. I am at a loss. Round 2 of vet visits is today. Up until...

Sooooo sweet!

So my vet gave us TINY amounts of Ceftazimide to inject daily for 10 days. He said this is only something he does with chams, as other reptiles would get a larger dose every 2-3 days. He admitted it's not a typical way to dose this medication but he's had a lot of success with it in chams. It...

Also guilty of helicopter mom behavior. 🤣

I ended up with an extra ring camera in a set. Guess where it's going... 😉 I can't wait to have my chamera set up!

I have been using Oak too. I'm in Northern California and Oak is everywhere. I snagged good branches from my neighbor's tree. It was in my yard anyway. 😉

I'm trying to use silk worms to my benefit here. Lol. He loooooves them. 😉

Ad far as trust building goes, I'm working on this one... again.... my guy had a minor respiratory infection and after having to give sub-q antibiotics, he's less than trusting with me. I am trying to get him to associate my hands with food. Putting a treat bug on the back of my hand and holding...

Paulie's poop schedule really depends on how much he eats. He's usually about 2x a week. My vet said depending how much we are feeding, if he's pooping once a week, and urates are healthy, not to freak out. Just for reference. Hope your little guy is doing ok.

Sending hugs! ❤️

Exactly the same!!! 🥰

Thank you! 🥰 I'm pretty partial to this weird little guy. And I just can't get over his goofy idiosyncrasies. Keeps me on my toes.
