Hi cop and welcome to the board. You've come to the right place for info. You are correct in that you should do your homework/research and when you think you've done enough, do some more. If you've never had a cham b4 then you will definitely need to research and ask questions. They are...
They are most definitely Senegals. And as Will said they are very difficult to keep and maintain healthy in captivity. My first cham was a Senegal. Not tooting my own horn but I was able to maintain him for 2 1/2yrs, but he did eventually die and it was very sad. I would not recommend these...
Hey Heika....he looks great considering what that poor fella has been through. Keep up the good work with his rehab. And yes you are correct they eat about 75% veggies and 25% insects. There is also a pellet food you can feed them. I haven't tried that with mine because I gut load her...
Heika you may also want to offer him greens. I have a baby beardie and from what I understand they pretty much stop eating insects when they reach about a year old. I currently offer mine blaptica roaches, crickets, silkies and always keep a bowl of shredded kale, collards and romain lettuce...
I am very sorry foryour loss ....RIP Stuey. I remember when I lost my first cham, little did I know that Senegals are very difficult to keep in captivity, but I bought one from a pet store on a whim. He lived for 2 1/2 years and forthat I feel fortunate, but it was still a hard lesson learned...
Hi Elias and welcome to the board. You've definitely come to the right place for answers to your questions. For starters Blender does not need the red infrared light. He needs a heat lamp that he can get within 8 - 12 inches of and he needs a uvb bulb. These are typically a tube lamp and...
My panther is Bubba....no special meaning or reason just when I clean his cage, feed him, mist, etc. etc. I always talk to him and call him my little bubba and it just stuck I guess :D
Welcome to the board Beth. You've come to the right place for just about every answer you could ever want about chams so feel free to ask and good luck with your new baby!
LMAO .... my 3 cats could care less about Bubba but they do like to watch the bugs in the cage. Especially the roaches! :D Guess that's okay since Bubba don't care for them.:eek:
Sooooo very sorry to hear about Stuey. Have you been dusting his food? He's so young or mbd. Follow the vets directions and maybe it can be slowed. Unfortunately it can not be reversed.
I can sympathize with you there deadeye. We had a beautiful reef tank with many corals, snails, cleaner shrimp, a breeding pair of true percula clown fish and a breeding pair of bangai cardinals. When hurricane Isabelle hit the east coast a few years ago we lost power for 4 days and the whole...
