Yeah that is definitely too hot. If it were me I would move the cage away from the window, and go to a lower wattage bulb. You will need to change your bulb to accommodate the higher and lower temps throughout the year. I would also avoid running the fan around him. I would give him time...

Then I would go ahead and get that enclosure :) Good luck!

I would definitely try the cup feeding to help him out a bit. Also, as far as waxworms go, they are high in fat and low in nutrients, and should be fed only as an occasional treat. Try superworms, and definitely butterworms. You can order some great feeders here: http://mulberryfarms.com

I would keep the cup a little away from the basking spot, but if that is his favorite area to chill, just make sure the crix aren't too close, the heat can kill them.

OMG... I totally knew that and spaced it out COMPLETELY. Jax are live bearing. Well, good luck with the babies!

Oh trust me, you get nervous no matter how long you have been doing this :)

I'd say a little bit of both...:) How old is this little guy?

Don't worry, it will happen. It's good she is drinking water...chams can go much longer without food than they can water. Just stick with it, put the cup where she can see it, try different spots, and soon enough she will surprise you!

Hi there, The only advice I can give you is, if it is possible (weather permitting) get him outside for some natural sunlight. I wouldn't worry about him eating the plant, as it is non toxic, but the dirt can be an issue. I would get some large pond rocks (too big for your cham to eat)...

When it comes to cup feeding, it is really just a waiting game. It took several days (and lots of half way nervous breakdowns on my behalf) before any of my chams would eat from the cup. I observed where my chams preferred to bask, hang out, ect. and just moved their cups around to accommodate...

How long have you had him? If it has been a short time, it will take a bit to "warm up to you". There has to be trust there for him to want to feed out of your hand. As of now he may very well see you and your hand as a threat to him....just give it some time, try try again, and eventually it...

Hey there, I don't have an answer to your question, although I am also curious about the answer, but I wanted to say congrats on your first little girl, and if she does end up being gravid, good luck to you on egg laying and incubation! :)

Hey there, I absolutely love my temp gun...it is extremely accurate. Here is a link: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/thermometers-thermostats-and-timers/-/infrared-temperature-gun-with-laser/ It's actually $10 off it's original price right now, so it's a good deal...

I would take a look online, and add up costs you would spend for things new, then take a look at what she has, see what is there you can use, then if it seems worth the cash, go for it!

O....M....G Becky....... Could you IMAGINE some of the posts?!

Oh btw, I still think it's a boy....Im waiting to find out if I'm right here in a few months.

Hahahaha!!! :D Priceless.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys LOL If he looks anything like his dad he will most definitely be a looker. He is sired by Bolt at Screameleons. I'm looking forward to seeing more color come in. Thanks for the compliment on the name :D

LOL He is a boy...or at least he is supposed to be :eek: If I'm going by the bulge though, I feel pretty confident that he is a he. Jeff, you and I seem to keep landing chams with sexual identity issues :D
