Ok, so I shouldn't worry that I can't find them. That's good! He does have days where he is more aggressive, but I have noticed that this has reduced when I increased his basking temp. You know what it's like when you are first starting out - you worry about everything! :D

Hi All, at what age should I expect my cham Hugo (currently 37 weeks/8.5 months old) to start getting sexually mature? I have no intention of breeding him, but reading all the stuff you can on here I was led to believe I should start finding sperm plugs as he becomes sexually mature, and we...

Hey Tiff, I didn't realise you got Lily from Marcus Langford - that's who Hugo came from! Small world! :D

I would say to get your thyroid checked. I went through that about 6 years ago, didn't think anything of it at first, but then noticed how much it was costing me for all the food. Turns out i had an overactive thyroid, causing food to be broken down quickly, hence all the hunger. It sounds...

They have been known to live up to 8 years, so I wouldn't say his last year just yet! :D

I keep my locusts in a plastic fish aquarium. I use bran and oats as a base, and then use kale, watercress, carrots etc as a gutload. I keep a fine mesh on the top to allow good ventilation for them, and the height of the tank lets them jump and climb! I like to apply the free range theory...

I have to agree. They concentrate on the romances to the detriment of the rest of the story line. And they made the smallest change to the scene when he gets rid of the book in the room of requirement, which I think was silly as that had a major repercussion in the last book. They also made...

I loved the last book. I read all 7 books in 5 weeks, and every now and then I will re-read the last one as I loved it so much. In fact, I may start reading them all over again. My other obsession at the moment is the film "Young Victoria" which I bought on Monday, and have watched 3 times so far!

I went to see it at lunch time (the joys of working from home!). Was interesting experience for me, as I had always seen the films before reading the books, so this time I had read the book first. I think I would like to see it again, as I think that first viewing is a little anti-climactic.

So, who's going to go see the Half blood prince? Any Potter fans here?

This is one of the reasons I wouldn't have a snake that is capable of reaching these lengths. I was watching an RSPCA show a while back (for my sins) where someone had a python that was about 15ft long. He had had it for about 12 years, and it had got to a length he couldn't handle. I would be...

Actually I would take pizza over a beef burger anyday! :D As soon as we could get locusts of a suitable size for him we have been alternating his food so that he has variety, so for quite a while he hasn't been on one food type. Also tried superworms, which he hated. Took one and refused to...

I do feel for the family, but with taking on certain animals you need to accept a certain responsibility. I have never had snakes, so don't know their temperament - are there conditions that it was kept in that could have exacerbated this? Ultimately, the snake is a 'wild' animal, and will act...

Well here's one reaction to it - http://www.clickorlando.com/news/20052133/detail.html

See, i am not sure I agree with this. My cham was raised on crickets from the start and was introduced to locusts about 3 months ago (he's about 7-8months now). He would also be fed waxies as a treat. He now refuses crickets, and will only take locusts, preferably adults. If we put crickets in...

I currently use towels which get washed and replaced daily. We seem to have a big problem now we have a dripper, so very interested to see how good they are.

Where are you based? I often use locusts, but I am based in the UK so they are easier to get!

Unfortunately we seem to be more expensive over here, even if second hand. We bought our current tank 3 years ago, and paid £360 (it was brand new). I think we will be looking at maybe £1000 for a 6ft tank. I don't fancy separating them and having multiple tanks around the house. On another...

You may have trouble keeping your temps up with a flexarium. We have our viv in the living room, and when the door is open we really struggle to keep the temps up.

I only watched a few seconds myself. I do often see this behaviour in Hugo, but usually when we walk past and he wants to come out. Some days he will sit on a perch right next to the glass and it's not an issue. I do worry about it, but then he tries to climb the walls sometimes so i figure he...
