How old is your Cham? What kind of lighting do you have? What is the moisture/humidity level? What are you feeding him (and what size?). Thanks!

paper towels and multi-vitamins/lighting I put paper towel down on top of our dirt so the moisture can seep thru (and it makes for easy clean up as well) and dirt stays under the towel. Crickets also have to lay their eggs in the towel instead of the dirt, which means fewer baby crickets...

When our baby came in by mail and we missed it, I had my teenager take pictures of every moment from the time the box came to the door (she got a picture of the mailman...LOL) to the moment that our baby took his first steps into his new home...and then had her email them all to me! LOL she had...

Crickets online: IMO I have found that Ghanns have the best priced crickets. (Right now they are donig a awesome sale on 1/2" crickets/food/etc). They can be found at : http://www.ghann.com/ I also have had great success with http://www.reptilefood.com/ Both places offer great shipping...

Yes, my husband and I talked about it yesterday and we have agreed to wait a few months and then get another one. We dont know yet if we want another female though. One piece of advice I will give you is to get your veiled looked at by a vet at least every 6 months and weigh her every month on a...

From the Vet (Autopsy) The vet said that Freddy was very healthy. This is a quote from the documentation: Post Mortem liver looked normal. The abdomen was full of eggs but there was also free yolk in the abdomen. The lungs and air sacs looked clear. The intestinal tract was very dark in color...

"Freddy" is no more... The vet just called and said that she didnt make it. She said that it was terrible ordeal but it just happens to some chams. most people dont know why this happens as there is little to no knowledge of why. i asked her if she would be willing to do a autopsy to see why...

Probably not going to make it... After the last bunch of pictures, i gave her some oxy and put her back in her cage. the vet opened in an hour and was going to take her anyway. when the hour was up, she came out with her head all black, i thought it was the sand mix, but it wasnt dripping off...

She may try to absorb the eggs, when i saw her at 1am last night, she had a bright white mucus coming out (i thought it might have been an egg, but it was way too small for an egg, i do have pictures of it) here are the pictures from 2am-right before the shot to right after the shot (black ring).

She Lived! :D Well, at 2am, i went to check up on her and she was laying inside her laying hole and was breathing, but not moving. she looked very tired and exhausted so i forgoed the last few shots till this morning (if she made it thru) and let her sleep. This morning I woke up at 630am to...

vet told me 10 doses then lay off for 24-48 hours. I wish that i knew more about this kind of topic but i am not a vet and it seems that this is a topic that is different for each girl and has different reactions for each girl. (kinda like humans) this is why i am documenting it. no where on any...

I dont know how to do that, so i am not going to try. all i did was grab the stuff that was coming out and pull. she seemed to be a bit better after that...i didnt see anything in the laying hole as of yet. this is the first time i have seen anything come out of her for the last 3 days!

sixth dose done. she wasnt moving much, but she did have a strong grip on the paper towel when i put her back in. she listed to the left a bit when i set her down, i dont know if that is a good sign or a bad one. she did attempt to hiss at me when i turned on the light as well. (i have it dark...

she has been to the vet 3 times this week already. the vet has given me calcium shots and oxytocin shots to induce her and try to get her to push them out. she has not been straining to push (not once have i seen her even attempt to try) or even try to dig. i have given her 5 doses of oxy so far...

Thank you for your help!! I didnt get a chance to see the xray long because i wanted to get freddy home..but the vet did not say if it was abnormal to see the eggs bunched up like this, and i dont know if she sees many chams. she said she had another egg bound cham just a week before mine and...

Pictures prior to 5th dosage the picture of her in the sand is right before i took her out for her shot. the rest were one before i gave her water and the rest after i gave her some water and she drank some.

5th dosage of oxy Ok, i gave her the 5th dosage of oxy. she seemed much better this time around. she managed to hold her head up a bit on her own. i sprayed her down with water to make sure she is getting fluids and made sure some of it got in her mouth. she actually opened her mouth a few...

Thanks so much for your replies! the eggs i saw in the xray were ovalish, and they were bunched up like grapes. there were so many of then! (she is smallish) so i was surprised to see so many of them. the vet was also surprised to see so many on one so young.

by the way, this is my first cham, but i did hours of research before i got her. I am hoping that she survives, i am trying to research tonight on how to take care of her after she finally gets the eggs out of her system (if she does) i know first stop is the vet tomorrow to see if we can get...

according to the vet, other then the eggs, she is in great health, in fact, when i took her in a few months ago (january) she said that this was the healthiest cham she had ever seen. No parasites, good weight for her age and good coloring. The vet did xrays and said that there were eggs and to...
