I have been using pure maggots from a fishing tackle store and growing the maggots on to flies. It's cheap and pleantyful although can take a week or two for the maggots to turn into blue bottles.

I think that i made a mistake at the beginning as i feed mainly locusts which means he will now not eat crix's. Even by feeding the crix by a cup he shows no interest but if i put a locust in he goes strait for it? It's easy to tell if he has eating all his food as Locusts stand out easily...

It would be stress if we were talking about extreamly large space but the majority of us keep chams in relative small enclusures (4ft viv is not that big if you think about it) yet in such viv's it is still easy to observe if food has been eating or not.

I guess what i am trying to say is that the "preferred" way on this forum differs to other forums you read? That's what makes it so confussing

Thats why i find Locusts better than locusts to feed although I understand they are hard to get hold off in the States.

Has anyone seen the new Repashy Calcium Supplements. There are 3 types avaliable - With Low, Moderate, and High Levels of Vitamin D3. These supplements offer you the ability to control how much vitamin D3 you are providing. Are these any good for Chams?

Ok, I'm confused. I have a young Panther coming within the next month and I need guidance on what set up i should use to house him. I have a yemen and at the time I brought him I was not too clued up on what I needed and I believe I was miss sold theviv and equipment. I was told I needed a...

I agree with what you say, I have read many different views and I can see a different approach from this forum to UK forums (personlly I prefer this forum) e.g. movement to keeping more than one cham together? When I say different size food, I don't mean using too a large insect, I mean I use...

I have always free ranged feed my Yemen and he has always manged to find his food as there is never any food remaining. If you going to use crix then perhaps it's a good idea to use a cup as crix can hidaway but as the main staple of diet i use is Locusts this is not a problem as those insects...

That's cool Kat77, always wanting to learn alternative ways of doing things. I have a Sirama Panther coming soon so for the amount I'm paying for it i want the best for him.

Wow like those feeders. I was using a bird feeder/cup but found it only gathered water from the misting. With regards to the colours, I have read different views on this so I really can not comment although the only time my cham goes dark is when i take him out of his viv to bask on a plant...

On some of the UK forums, there are arguments that by just placing the insects, such as locusts, straight into the gage rather than cup or hand feeding, is more of a natural and healthy way to feed as it encourages their instinct to hunt. When I had my young Yemen, i originally had him housed...

My lovely Yemen is my first Cham and because of him I have decided to order a male Sirama

I'm intrigued why so many people say that you should use a small cage for a very young Cham so they can find food ect easily etc but in the wild this is not the case and yet they still survive? Do you think that we might be a bit over protective. I know people on other forums who use a larger...

I'm fron Norwich and it's been raining and cold over the past few days. Phil

What plant grow light do you use?

I'm afriad I do not. However, I find this the best forum compared to the ones in the UK. Phil

I am well impressed with his service. I have paid my deposit for one male sirama but i'm intrigued to hear about his new ampiskiana and new sirama? Any pictures? Sorry but which one are you thinking of going for? Phil

I already have a Yemen and at first I was always worried about him but over time I've come to relax and just read this forum for advice ect. What type of cham do you have dREW?

I found a male hatchling sirama from gatewick reptiles. He wont be ready for a few months so that gives me time to save and to prepare. Phil
