    Best and affordable timer

    I've been using a Zoomed for a while now with no problems. I bought one from Harbor Freight and was never able to get it work. I don't trust anything from HF that isn't a simple handtool. Theres a reason their stuff is so cheap.

    What does it mean...

    I don't think he was doing it to get sun. When he absorbs heat he usually gets flat and lays on his side. He did get a little nervous when he saw the cat. But he was doing it before the cat came around.

    What does it mean...

    When a cham makes their body real thin and long. I just took my veiled out to get some real sun as I was just hanging out having a beer. And I put him on the handrail to the deck. He then like I said made his body real long and thin. It was almost like his skin was wrinkly. Cold, hot...

    Thinking of a new cham...

    So since I built my new cage, I'm toying with the idea of splitting it down the middle and having two. I was thinking either a panther or jacksons. I've had a jackson and thought he was cool. I am now however leaning toward a panther. Havent had one yet. A local place has a...

    Cham wont go on New vine in cage

    I would say leave it for at least a few days. He might just need to get used to a new element in his cage. He should get on it soon.

    Color at night question...

    I don't mean to question you Bubby, but what makes you say that? I was under the impression that something might be wrong seeing as darker colors usually are a sign of stress or something.

    Will this cage be big enough?

    So I am going to be building a new cage for my male veiled tomorrow. I've been going over different design options and had the idea to make a notch in the middle so I can slide a divider in and have two chams in essentially the same cage. So I was thinking making the total cage 4.5ft...

    Question about my Veiled..

    Got it. I honestly thought he was doing great until I saw this falling thing. I really wish I could post pics. I haven't posted pics since I got him trying to find out how old you all thought he was. I don't know why the attachment button won't open anything.

    Question about my Veiled..

    Kate. Thanks for the advice. But how do you know crickets don't come gutloaded. I live up the block from a reptile store so I just buy crickets every few days. But they say they load their crickets. Yeah they could be lying or they could be a reputable shop that knows what they're doing...
