Many thanks! I'm super worried about this cham do to the shipping nightmare. I have caught him napping a few times during the day since we got him and if it continues I'll def have him examined by the end of the week. I'm just trying to give him time to get acclimated to the new time zone and...

I have an adult ambanja that we've had for about 5 days (after enduring a trip from hell resulting in a 2 day shipment in outrageous heat) We've been feeding him daily (beween 4/7 crix), yet he always looks for more? Is there a difference between daily feeding vs. every other day? And how...

Hi, I'm sure you will get really good advice from the seasoned pros on the forum but from my limited knowledge as a new cham owner myself, I think it's fairly normal for the youngsters to be less than friendly while acclimating to their environment. We've had our cham for about a little over...

that is the cutest thing ever!!!

what are you using inside the foam? what kind of branch?

we have the tube.. the zoomed blue 100 watt bulb is made to go with the 5.0 reptisun.. Just making sure we don't HAVE to use the mercury vapor.. What are most using for the adult cages?

we just bought a few of the xl DIY cages with the hoods. The lighting we are planning to use is the reptisun 5.0 with the zoomed 100watt blue for basking.. Someone suggested the reptisun mercury heat in one combo but that won't work with our new hood fixtures. Is our original lighting...

any news? hoping all works out today in much shorter time!

this is exactly the issue we are having with branches causing the bottom pins to pop out. then the entire cage becomes off center.

hi guys, he ate and drank this am but he's currently 'napping' with his eyes closed. no obvious signs of distress or discomfort.. do you think hes just worn out from the trip / adjustment to new place?

Thanks. My husband reinforced the sides of his cage with plastic fencing tonight. It has large holes for his massive mittens. He began moving about on it as soon as it was up. He's now positioned vertically on a wide tree branch. He most def had to have modifications for the obese b/c he is a...

LMAO! Thank you :)

Thank you! Are the sides FIRM where the screen is? Not like this flimsy mesh from reptibreeze.. I want solid siding.

Well, as a matter of fact I have trained them to crap on demand. Have you not learned this neat trick yet ? ;) ACTUALLY, let me clarify.. my mindset was more along the lines of a 'fresh catch', and obtaining 'freshens on all three at once. :) But as long as they can probe at the vets...

Can a vet obtain a fecal during the actual visit or is this done by collection prior to? I have more than one cham and am thinking of taking the gang in at the same time but don't see them all deciding to give up their fecals at once :)

Thank you! I guess the vertical position and not moving at all is nothing to worry about, then? He seems content I reckon, he's just extremely sedentary and won't move for squat. He did eat but we had to hold the cup in front of his face.

He's a LT w/c. Basking temp at the very top is right now at 90, mid is 80 and lower part is 75. The basking temp gets hot towards the end of the day and I'm not sure how to lower it. We are using appropriate lighting per scremeleons but how do you get it lower when it rises? The light doesn't...

I've only had him for about 24 hrs so most of those questions don't yet apply. That's why I didn't post in the health section. I will if I have to but there's enough experience that police the boards to give me an opinion based on limited history and knowledge of his horrible delay in arriving...

Hi, all. Today, Miles has been in a vertical position at the lower portion of his cage and hasn't moved at all. He ate a few crix earlier this am but only because I held the cup up to his mouth. He was at the top of the branch towards the basking light earlier this am and although I can't be...

I've seen folks use mirrors..
