from what I have read from experienced keepers is to help keep your cham from producing as many/large clutches keep temps around the 82 mark (basking temp) and feed less (approx what you are feeding now but every other day) that combo will slow your chams metabolism down possibly resulting in...

alot of forum members as does myself just use normal household bulbs for basking/heat as they are alot cheaper than 'special' basking bulbs.

for about 10cents you can hang a dome light by the cord (with a loose knot tied in it) from the ceiling with a drywall anchor and a hook that screws into it. Thats how I used to hang my basking light and it worked great because adjusting the temps is as easy as raising or lowering the light a...

Hello, i'm kinda curious if coffee grinds have anything to offer as a gutload? I feed my roach colony almost anything that goes in my composter and thats where the coffee grinds go and that got me wondering if it could be at all beneficial?

im not sure what else you can do really but good for you for trying something. That last cham definately looks really bad, poor thing. I checked out the caresheet and couldnt believe what bad husbandry it is promoting, providing red/blue night lights, keeping humidity to a minimum??? using a...

Carol answered the questions about temperatures and night light the same as I would have. (I keep my adult female veiled around 89 in basking spot) As far as a good quality misting system, I am extremely happy with my basic mistking system, I forget exactly what I paid but it wasn't...

Hello, welcome to the forum and you are going about this the right way, informing yourself before you get your new guy:) how old is your cham going to be?day time temps 95 in the basking spot is too hot especially for babies/juvies and females. mid to high 80's is good for an adult male...

when it rains it pours, I hope theey both get better soon.

that all sounds about right.

mine seem to do just fine with just fruits and veggies.

silkworms are a great feeder but should only be used in addition to other feeders as different insects have different nutrition values. I have also read on here that soft worms (silkies/hornworms) should not be used more than 40% (if memory serves me correct) of the time. if you are interested...

what speicies of cham are we talking about? Almost all chams are solitary creatures and should not be kept together as one will be dominant and the others may/will die due to stress/lack of food. What size enclosure are you keeping the two you already have?

as far as I know there is no way to tell if your cham slept but I wouldn't worry about it, he/she prob slept through the light being on anyways. Just get back on schedule tonight.

yes that would be ok, its alot better than light disturbing their sleep.

I was having the same prob and solved it by making a simple fruit fly trap to keep beside the roach bin. I cut the top 1/3 off of a 2L plastic pop bottle, put some cider vinegar and a chunk of orange and banana in the bottom, turned the top piece upside down (lid off) and fit it in the...

Merry Christmas to you and Mia as well.

my approx 14 month old female veileds appetite seems to change regularily, sometimes she will eat lots and other times not so much, she even went a week without eating anything a while back and I still dont really know why. She gets fed every other day (occasionally every 3rd day) and on...

me neither, try again.

I use the green carpet stuff in part of my chams enclosure and I like it alot, it looks good and can be put in the wash (or handwashed) and it comes out clean, it also soaks up the water nicely if a bit of a flood happens to occur.

I've got a nice 18x18x24 inch glass exoterra terrarium that the pet store sold us with our cham (this is before I got on the forums and researched). I am currently using it to house my indian walking sticks but would like to get another creature for it. I was thinking of making a wicked little...
