No decent photos right now but I have a 30 gal. I used to have quite a few but they seem to be just as tough to get somebody to watch them while you are away as the chams are. So now I limit myself to one small one.

You can always try stuffing one in her mouth while she is chewing a cricket, sometimes the flavor will get them interested, sometimes not.

Sexy is what they be

It was busy, the chams were on their own today lol

There are a number of breeders in Florida, few of them are open to the public. You can always wait for a local show if you want to select one in person.

I'm curious what minerals people keep talking about in rainwater, or do they think the chams have city water? Other than some sodium and nitrogen that it might have picked up falling from the sky. What minerals are you talking about?

I would up the water if you are still seeing orange in the urates.

host your photos on a hosting site like imageshack or photobucket and then pate the links into your thread. Without filling out the how to ask for help form and no photos it will be hard to help.

They are no better or worse than any other average reptile store. The upside is you can go there in person and examine the animal before you purchase.

The trouble with any substrate is the possibility of an obstruction in the digestive track should the cham ingest some of it while hunting food. If you really want to plant something in the bottom of the enclosure you can always cover it with screen or shade cloth. You will need to keep an eye...

Yep, you want it outside of the cage. By raising or lowering the fixture you can adjust the temp at the basking point. If your cham doesn't feel it is getting enough heat, it may scale the cage to get closer to the heat source. I posted in your other thread about a temp gun. They are a great...

A great investment would be a temp gun. They range in price from under $20 to as much as you want to pay lol. It's the best way to find out if your enclosure has any spots that will be hot enough for a burn. Bulb wattage will not matter at that point ( other than your electric bill ) as you can...

While I have many 24x24x48 cages I have found that having a wider cage placed higher is what most chams prefer. You want them to be able to change height for temp regulation but they do like to wander laterally. So if you have the space, make it as wide as you can.

When you say the basking area was cut down 3-5 inches. Did you lower something in the cage or raise the bulb. I hope you raised the bulb as they will climb the screen to get close to heat.

If you go with holes, be sure to monitor them as they can get clogged quickly.

The females get a golden color through the head when gravid. Very pretty

I am looking into their rainfall charts. I have the one for Parsons but haven't gotten to them yet. Right now they are showing no signs of discomfort. Good hydration, good stool, active. I am certainly open to suggestion when dealing with them.

I think he would bite you lol. He's in the other thread about Malthe.

Pretty much Chris. They are currently on the same misting schedule as everyone else. This will most likely change as it gets closer to summer. So far they are easy feeders but not interested in being around humans. Both of them play the slide around the branch game but will eat if you step...

Very pretty
