White stuff around nose is usually dehydration. when a cham gets to a new home it may take him awhile to figure out where the water is or coming from. Also just stress may make them drink less. Dont sweat it if the white stuff contiues give him a shower. Also you can just hand mist like...
i like the looks of the blue bulb better. the plain light bulb is a harsher light when in the cone. Id go 40 watts in las vegas. im in wisconsin and 60 watts was too high i just bought a 40 today and his temps are never going over 90 at basking spot anymore. i do keep my cham in my computer...

So yeah im really sad my suspitions are true. My cham is a girl. It's my first Cham and i REALLY wanted a male. Im pretty attached now but the breeder offered to trade her in for a male. Not sure what to do as my fiance wont let me keep more than 1. SIGH wish i wasnt in this situation and...

might as well not worry too much bout set up if you just gonna have em battle each other to death imho. Not to be too mean but lots of people say you cannot have more than 1 in a cage. Why listen about anything else and spend so much money on a set up when you are risking there health so much...
there is a Hippy pet shop really close to me. i think they raise the crickets themselves i guess ill check that out. I figure hippies gotta take good care of the crickets right?
Laurie,
so you just ship em all winter? i really dont want anymore bug colonies in my house i only have 1 cham. I guess i can look into dubias but honestly they give me the freaking heeby jeebies. plus the smell of the cricket pen alone drives my nutty. cant imagine if i had worms plus...
yeah they got pet shops but they keep the crickets in such shitty conditions and they will only sell me like 20 at a time. i like to buy 1k at a pop plus i live to have more control over sizes that ordering from a breeder offers.
also the pet shop crickets never eat my gutload mixture...
