Just as you can under supplement an animal, you can also over supplement him. This isn't really applicable to Cham's (To my knowledge), but consider a human that is getting too much calcium. If their body continues to receive this large amount of calcium it can start to develop bone growths that...

I use aquarium lining on the inside of my cages so that only the top and door are open. It's essentially the same material as shower curtains are made from. Also, it doubles to prevent them from climbing on the aluminum screens that can cause nail damage (I hang a 1" or so 'drop-ceiling' of soft...

Yupp, I currently use Zoo-Med Calcium w/o D3 on my guys (even tho I have reptical or w/e) and it seems to be fine.

Hmmm, I have 0 experience with infections in Chams, so I am curious about the formation of the skin. To me it looks just like the dried skin from a blister which has me interested in what is actually happening to the Chams skin. In particular, is that the skin attached to the front/west part of...

Just curious, why are you so insistent on not having spline corded screens? Is it a durability issue? I currently own 2 of the large DIY's that I got used from a breeder and I couldn't be happier. I've actually disassembled and reassembled both of them when doing modifications and I have to...

Psssshhhhh, I have a 3' Pothos that consumes the majority of my 18"x18"x36" cage and my Veiled just chills at the top most of the time then ventures down into the leaves for water/shade.

You should be just fine leaving him be but maybe look to add more plants or horizontal perches for him. I wouldn't take his willingness to be handled as a bad thing at all. I dream of the day when my guys rush to their door so they can be let out.

I'll attach a couple of pictures of my 1 year old Female Jackson. I would like to know the sub-species if possible, thanks in advance.

As much as I want to say "Let's all attack the big corporations," like everyone else, I am going to have to agree with Dan. A lot of things won't change and reporting the stores for animal abuse isn't going to do a lot in most cases since the animals aren't actually being abused and in a court...

Those are just his colors :P Veiled's are known to get some darkness around their head and casque as they age.

Any update?

Watch for swelling/redness around the eye and long, SOFT showers should help.

I fear my Veiled trying to pierce my nose when he climbs on my face....Those little claws trying to poke through my septum...Luckily he is only 21g right now.

I feel like throwing in my 2 cents as well, since I always want to rescue Chams. I recently (~2 months ago or so) took in my girlfriends Female Jackson who was being cared for by her dad's friend since her dad was currently away on business. Well, I guess I can start with saying that this would...

This is correct to some degree. An adult Cham is much more likely to show these behaviors in comparison to a baby or juv. This is because an adult Cham knows what it wants and once it has filled its needs for day (food, water, etc...) then they are more likely to find a comfortable spot to relax...

My first instinct is fungus or possible beginnings of melanoma, can't say without a vet visit though.

I have had my male Veiled for a month now and he exhibits a lot of the same behavior (minus the screen walking as I was able to condition him not to) and is usually a darker shade while in his cage. I was told he was 4 months old when I got him which would make him 5 months now, but seeing as he...

My cages in my room have 3 sides permanently covered, along with removable covers I made for the doors/top at night because I am awake for several hours after their lights go off. My little guy has started to hunker down in the same spot each night about an hour or so before I turn his lights off.

Try increasing the rate of the dripper. Be willing to let a steady, continuous stream of water flow if you have enough drainage. My female Jax will only drink from a dripper with a very fast, continuous stream. This translates to the dripper running out in 5-10 minutes, but she will usually...

My 1 year old female Jax is kept in a 18" x 18" x 36" enclosure, so you have an idea of the room they should need. I don't know why this hasn't been pointed out yet, but female Jax don't lay eggs. With that being said, they shouldn't become gravid until a time in which they are sexually...
