I know, same old question, but this girl really has me going back and forth between she is, and she isn't. She's a Jacksonii Xanth, WC, I got her August 24 07. She was completely unreceptive to my male for quite a while, then she finally allowed him near hear about 3-4 months ago. So, I left...
I try not to at all. They get taken out aprx. once a month for a overall cage cleaning and visual check up. Them getting that worked up is a pretty good sign they don't want to be handled, so I say leave them alone. Only handle them when needed.
Absolutely worth it. I've read it front to back, and will read it again. For a Cham keeper, it's pretty much a necessity. Well, if you like to read anyways...
I think it's a great idea, and I agree with the 'no prizes' suggestion. Alot of us have other reptiles, and it would be fun to do a photo comp just for the sake of it. Maybe two categories, being snakes and lizards? They're both so different, even just to photograph.
Time to thin the herd and the hold backs to prepare for this year's babies, so I have the following up for sale:
1.0 2007 Opal, very aggressive feeder -- $120
0.1 2007 Ultramel het Caramel, growing like a weed, and is stunning-- $140
1.1 2007 Normal het Granite (Bloodred and Anery A)...
I haven't really found Cham bites to hurt all that bad, in comparison. I've worked with parrots for what seems like ever, rehabbing, training, etc, and wow. Both of my 'pinkie' toes were crushed by a damn Umbrella Cockatoo, scars everywhere, so when lizards bite me, it kind of makes me laugh...
They're all still subadults right now, and both the females are still bright green. The male was removed right when I noticed the female(s) wanted him out. I really don't mind housing them separate at all though. A communal setting might just not work with these three. More than fine considering...
