I tried to design his enclosure with some logic, but it's harder than I thought it was going to be lol so the photo I have attached is the three stages. When I put the crickets in I put them in the flowers and they will go wherever. Most of the time they will climb the cork board background and...

These lights aren't very good. You need a linear uvb t8 high output and a regular 65-100w bulb or a flood light. Coil bulbs don't emit enough uvb and there was an issue with them years ago with burning reptiles eyes. The issues have since then been fixed, but the bad ones are still in...

I don't understand how you have all you need to know when you don't have basic knowledge of their behavior. Just because you have had reptiles in the past doesn't make your interpretations of their behavior right. Housing them together could be a fatal move on your part. Reptiles don't have...

I always put my feeders up top. They will eventually go all over, but they mostly stay up top or the crawl up the cork background.

Yup it's my favorite constellation. I'm proud of all my reptiles. Orion is my baby though. My other baby is my 7 month old sulcata tortoise. It took Orion almost 3 weeks before he started to explore his whole cage. Yesterday, he just started to come out on my hand by himself. Mostly, because I...

Mine sometimes just freezes when the mister comes on and other times he runs.

That's what I was going to say. My baby I got even he was 1 month and he ate but it wasn't very many at first. After a few days he was eating 8-10 crickets. Now at two months he is all over his enclosure eating every feeder I put in there plus the neighbors kid. Rest his soul he was a good...

So cute I need more babies!

So cool looking!

I would definitely avoid holding your cham like you have in the second photo. Also the last photo if you look at it eyes and how dark they are is a pretty good indicating that something isn't right. I always use photos to inspect my cham of physical inspection is out of the question. Stick...

If you can't find a local breeder there are some great breeders on the forum.

That's good to know on both. I think I will have a few Galapagos torts before I get into turtles. I love turtles, but my heart is in torts.

Thank you! He was a confusing one with having a lot female colors and his second shed the other day started to show more male colors., But he also just a little over two months also.

Lol maybe. That's so cool! I want an alligator snapper. My torts are still young, so there is hope. So, are there any other species of chams that have temperaments line veileds?

I got a really good picture of his colours coming in.

One thing that I have learned about reptiles through caring for tortoises and various lizards is that a lot of reptiles have big eyes and big curiosities. If they can see a bigger place than where they are they will want to explore. Hell, if I had a thousand acres for my torts it still wouldn't...

Nope but I have a sulcata and Russian tortoise though. They are the veileds of the tortoise kingdom. My Russian hates everything and my sulcata just hates people lol

Lol beeman already covered it

Common misconceptions with color and behavior. I know just from the forum that many new keepers are just clueless on their behaviors and they don't understand stress colors vs not. Also feeder sizes. A lot of people don't know what size feeders to feed their chams.

This made me laugh.
