This depends on seveal things..
Highest point your cham can get inside his cage?
How tall is the cage?
Does you cham move around a lot rather then bask in the spot lamp?
Temp of the highest spot your cham can reach that is under the spot lamp?
Lots of moving could mean too hot...
Live Plants. Get live healthy plant and put it inside your enclosure such as a Pothos for now then when you get the bigger kingdom built for him put in something like a Ficus. Live plants will increase humidity very well.
A good rule of thumb to remember about insects that sting and bite that contain possible venom of any sort is that the venom is 99% causes paralization which attacks the spinal cord of any living creature.
A bee sting in the mouth or upon your chams tounge could lead to a very quick and...
One thing I noted about my Cham is she only poops during the day. I'm not sure if that is the case for all of them but she always poops after about 1 hour in her basking lamp in the AM. Quite humorious too she lifts her rear hind leg up like asking a question and tilts her butt to one side off...
6 months if even that.. lol I lived in Vancouver just over the Columbia for Hewlett Packard. I was about to trade my car in for a small boat and motor. Rain, rain, rain and did I mention RAIN? lol
Yeah thats not the ideal enviorment for outside at this time. But keep us posted on his...
I've seen this and its pathetic. I was looking for a ZooMed ReptiSun 5.0 and this guy walks by and goes you should get the 10.0 one their compact and better. I was like no actually you should pull that crap off the shelfs and send it back there has been large amounts of research on 10.0 and...
Bamboo can be very hard to grasp onto. I use a few medium sticks in my enclosures and sanded with high grade (corse) paper to create a corse ribbing on them to help with their traction. Figure this needed to be done once I put one in and found her upside down becasue she slipped and bruised...
Baking Soda mixed with Salt and Water is used to treat shock in humans. But indeed it does elimnate moister (humidity) and your pet needs this. I would suggest ZooMed Wipe Out 2 to clean the dish every other day but no less then once a week. I clean my 1/4" trays out that capture water from...
If he's scrapping glass it could be his reflection is being a problem to him. If he was indeed a wild caught cham it will not be so easy to get him use to enclosure.. I would attempt to put him in a larger enclosure with lots of things to climb. Cage would be best. He may be trying to ward off...
Thats an awesome cham.. Dang ain't that a bute? Nice and your indeed in the right online world no doubt. People here have pimped me with some of the most correct ideas in care then anything I could get out of a book.
Welcome to the forums.. Enjoy your stay and keep us posted with the...
0.1.0 I do believe this is the right thing. 0 Males 1 female 0 hatchlings?
Plan on many more.. Victoria is doing so good I've decided to build a huge enclosure to house 2 plus a breading cage that I'm building now for egg laying. This is kinda neat actually. Its a 3'x3'x5'H cage that is...
I used baby oil as an example to show transfer of chemicals that can cause harm.
Yes alot of those "Night Light" labeled bulbs do emit heat and if too close can cause serious harm. If you are using a night light inside a fixture that lays on top of the enclosure it should not need to be any...
Lights Don't Sound Like Cause
I heard that once they get older the longer it takes and less that they do peel. The burn sounds weird if nothing has changed with your setup to all of a sudden be burnt. May not even be your setup. Did you change anything in her diet? Perhaps even a change in...
I've been using total bites myself and have not seen any problems but would like to hear more about anything of this nature with other members that have used Total Bites all in One Gutload. I have seen and tought about using Fluker's Orange Cube...
Catch him sleeping tonight. You might see some new colors in him. I would suspect that you will see green and more of his natural colors while he is asleep and relaxed.
Wow okay didn't know that it was found on a garrage floor or how long ago.. How are his nails? I bet the garrage floor really stressed him out with nothing to grip on to and perhaps even filed his nails down a bit. Plus he might had eaten a few odd things here and there while on his own. Its...
Doesn't look too bad, looks like (looks like a he so I'll say he) he is stressed. He's plump in the tail and round all abouts. The eyes don't look too terribly sunken and kinda more contoured to his facial features. Looks like he needs to get use to his new enviorment getting use to his...
Items of Need
Baby: Once a day with Multi-Vitiam dusted lightly. I take 2 out of whatever my Cham will eat in a day and dust them so that I'm not overdoing their vitamin intake. I Calcium D3 every 2 days same idea 2 out of its daily feeding intake get dusted. The ones I dust I put on a...
