I'm kinda piggybacking on this post but it might seem relevant. Does the trend go with older chams that come to new homes that they don't eat well the first few days?

Yup. He's looking quite crusty now. Probably why he has no appetite. I put horns and supers in there. Im pretty sure he ate two horns but the other stuff has not been touched. Hey I forgot to ask- Did you ever name him?

Well you gotta weigh the options. Stress him out to get him to a safe place, or leave him exposed to the elements or wild animals. He may have been stressed but nothing ate him. I would say you did the right thing.

From this perch, they can watch me play video games LOL

Thank chamtrainer. He's the one that has raised him. I just took the guy off his hands.

It's on shelving. So if they go down, it's a long jump down. Not to say they won't jump, but they are under supervision. I got the guy up in there right now. He's just chilling on the vine that's above the pothos. Here's a quick pic-

Ok got some vines and repositioned the bulb. I think this should work out better.

Going to be a part time playground. I have drippers that I might add if I want to keep him there longer, but the splashing water is going to be a problem. I can't really waterproof everything in the surrounding area. The chams have already taken up most of my room and real estate is a premium.

So I had to do some redecorating and decided to redo my free range setup. I went with all 3 of the normal plants- Ficus, pothos, and scheflerra. I just need to run to the store to get some vines and perches and I think I'll be set. Now with the placement of my MV bulb, do you think my cham...

Yeah it really dePends on your wants and needs. I built my first cage but after that one, I decided to buy my next 3 as it was easier and they fit my needs perfectly. They were pretty cheap too.

I see you have a 5 gallon money jug. Is that like for every time you curse, you put a dollar and it when it fills up, you buy a new cham?

I love the look of your enclosure. Very zen-like.

I picked up this ambilobe male from one of our forum members who lives where I work! He's 1.5 years old and after looking at his fired up pics, I could not resist picking him up. Thanks Gary! And of course, here are the pics- Tried to catch him sleeping to see if he would display some nice...

Try one of the sponsor breeders. They are reputable and will not sell a cross unless telling you before hand.

My male ambilobe usually rest displaying bright red. Check out my thread The Legacy of Maul.

For a while he seemed to be stressed out because he would display lots of black spots. He still isn't too keen on handling, but his black spots seem to be replaced with the green ones that you can see in the pics. Any ideas on if he's still pretty stressed or is he calmer because they are not...

Looks like a 36" inch UVB tube would be in order. I'm just going by the width of your cage (3'). As for heat, one should suffice if you can keep temperatures up with it. Try higher wattages like 100w incadescent bulbs or higher. You might want to keep the cham's basking spot a good distance...

Sounds awesome. Post some pics!

This guy was tiny when I got him, and now he has outgrown my male ambilobe who is a few months older! Veilder isn't the most colorful guy but at least there is some spots that are showing some promise.

It's just about the standard 2x2x4 ft cage. Ventilation should be pretty good with partial screening and that might even make humidity easier to control. And the overall size is just about the minimum for a Nosy Be. I think you are good to go.
