What are you feeding? What are you gutloading your feeders? What are your supplements? It looks like excess suppl being expelled. I think there is another thread going on about this right now as well. EDIT: I was beat to the punch!

I haven't been back in the store since I saw this and I really don't know what kind of vet connection they have... every other rep they have (including other chams) are all really healthy looking. At least they have proper lighting/heating/ventallation for all their chams (well, except for...

From reading the web site: The upgraded pump gives more nozzles (I guess more power/PSI??) and it should run cooler so the chances are it will last longer. I would be curious what the output / PSI rating is for each. They are 100% correct that they are selling these pumps cheaper than...

I don't know a lot about silkies myself, but from what I know: 6 or so/day depending on size (because chams can eat bigger silkies) No dusting as they are full of calcium already Humidity can be a BIG problem with the pod. The one time I got them I had a problem with mold because of the...

I would recommend you wait until the female is a year old - or really close to it. At 8 months she is still growing and will have to split calcium between growing and producing eggs and that can add additional stress. Just a thought from what I've read, I've not done any breeding myself.

Oh, I will put my hand up for a young'n when you get around to passing them out of you have any left over :)

As I was running on errands yesterday I happened to stop by a reptile shop. Inside they had some smaller Veileds (of course) but then had another one. I'm not as familiar with chams than others, so I'm not 100% sure, but it looked like a Ambilobe from the shape of the head. I have no idea the...

I know that computers can be a pain in the rear but you just can't live without them!! Sorry to hear about the ID theft, that can be extremely difficult to deal with, good luck on that. It is hard to count the eggs before they hatch so just keep your fingers crossed that they will all come...

Yep, looks like a chameleon! His back legs look good to me. They can move them in all kinds of angles.

Well, as to building your own cage that is really a personal decision. Do you like doing that kind of thing? Do you have the tools to do it? It is very easy to build your own but you may end up spending more as you find other things that would make it better! :)

Typically you can get the feed when you get the worms. I haven't tried getting the leaves myself, I've only used the food. I ordered all my supplies from Coastal Silkworm (it does make it nice that they are only 1.5 hours away from me. They have had great worms and I got the mixed food...

Short answer: Yes. Veiled can be some of the meanest guys out there. Mine would tolorate being handled when I was still getting his cage ready for him and adjusting things... Now he will hiss and lunge at me whenever I get near. Even when all I'm doing is feeding!

I glue screen to the inside of my feeder for them to climb on. Works great and lasts forever and his tounge won't get stuck.

I would buy a 5.0 long bulb for the hood. One basking spot will be good. Some have 2 on the larger cages but the chams seem to stick to one anyway... Also, is that a water dish in there? Toss that, chams like to drink from the rain (so, with all of ours, from the misting).

We really need a lot more information to give any good advice as to what may be the problem. Were they housed together? Please fill out something like this: How to ask for help.

Although mine has tried to get me he hasn't yet. I know there will eventually be a first time. Now, I was bit by my Bearded Dragon once. I was feeding him and he got my finger instead. Those full grown guys sure to pack a punch. I miss him, he lived to be 9.5 years old!

If you heard a bird it may have been background noise as I only have 3 pets, a tabby cat, a basenji and Bob. I'm actually going to be ordering some misting nossles I saw someone else on here using today. I want to have a better spread plus it goes through about 5 gallons of water ever 3 days...

One, a picture would be nice so that we know what we are looking at in terms of size. What may look skinny to you may be ok. Sometimes chams get bored of a specific diet. Keep offering the crix but you can also try silk worms if you have access to them. Roaches are another option but I...

I too second the notion to cut him back a bit. If he is that big at that age he may be growing too fast for his bones. Did you ever find out about his supplements? Be sure to be using the calcium without D3 every day, then calcium with D3 2-4 times a month plus a vitamin supp. Other...

If you have that easy of access to them then I would say go for it. Hard to tell if they will or won't use it but I would think it is better to have the option available for them, and remove it if they don't use it than to never have that option to begin with. I'm not too familiar with...
