It looks like your cham has some unshed skin on its knee rom the photos. :)

really, it wont starve. But out of curiosity, how big is it and what are the cage tempeatures? :)

Try just leaving her be and dont be so concerned, theres no set time for a given lizard to adjust to new suroundings. It wont starve if food is available. You could offer something other than crickets, juicy bugs such as hornworms often entice, anything green really.:) your not the first person...

Read all this in the big book of food science incredibly dry reading. No! surely not....:D ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

If you can find a nice sized container say, atleast 1.5 gallons, often water containers, the kind you buy in the supermarket (big ones) are great, make a hole in the lid just big enough to insert aquarium airline tubing (this is very cheap) and run it into the filled container so its righ at the...

I think your 'black lines' are merely shadow within the skin texture, nothing of concern. :)

Something is deinately wrong with those litle hind limbs, I know maybe it didnt cost you much but I think it might be worth having a vet examin him on mon morn if you can, especially if its not moving around and active in the morning, then sooner if possible. At that age little bones are easilt...

They do that on occasion under basking lights yes, but it would be considered odd and alarming for it to do elsewhere/when. Has he fallen off a branch or anything that you know of? Possibility it may have injured/stunned itself while you wernt there? Im hoping for you thats its nothing at all...

Im afraid those pics do alarm me some mate, is it able to stand properly? Does it hold that back leg like that alot or did it just fall over as you snapped the pics? its little legs do look oddly splayed in one of your earlier pics aswell..... can your phone do video that you could upload to...

Its my opinion you should ensure you see it drink atleast once a day, especially with so small a lizard. You can acomplish this with 5 mins of hand misting above its head. It may take several minutes for the little one to get the idea, but you should, after a few minutes see it begin to lap and...

Nothing to worry about, optic muscles relax when its asleep. As long as they look normal during the day and the urates are white or mostly so. nice shot , shame about the ugly faux plants, dont do the lizard justice! :)

Thats great news, can you post a clearer pic please if possible, the other was bit blurry and difficult to make out. If you use a phone cam, maybe try holding it a little further away and shining a light on his butt at the same time (no flash) :) If it is just plugs he should eventually wipe...

Good idea, there are probably plenty of safe 'groundcover' type plants, but im afraid I cant tell you what they are. I think the safe list here has photos and sci names, you might see some? Here somebody will have to chime in , but I will endevour to find out for you. Perhaps soom food herbs...

I think your little bloke is simply at a stage where moisture lapped from leaves is simply no longer enough, not keeping pace with its growing needs. I saw this same issue with my first at around 4 months I think, he began to have yellow urate and began actually biting leaves of the plants. I...

Has it crapped lately? watch the size of feeders, smaller is better even it can handle them. first thoughts are concern of hind limb paralysis due possible impaction. (from your description of behaviour) Is hind limb strength good? Please describe any poop he has left and when it did so last...

What a little cutey! :) Im Sooooo envious!

Its funny they have their own personalities, my Homer has never been even vaguely interested in veg or fruit, eventually I got tired of seeing wilted veg impaled on branches and ignored. :) He gets plenty via feeder gutload though. So far the female isnt too keen either.

Must have been severely dehydrated Id imagine, unless the structure it was on held some rainwater Bet he was thirsty and hungry after his ordeal. Good use for their stocks of whalemeat! :p
