yes i cup feed exept silkies or supers. i also use steam cleaner. i wash my hands with dial complete foam between touching crickets,cleaning or any task involving poo. i also make sure there is no crix poo in feeder cup by only putting a few at a time and removing cup after feeding to be...
my Cham was recently diagnosed with coccodia and pinworms. i have read posts talking about how albon can cause adverse side effects. well that is the problem.he was on albon last week, now he barely eats, his poop is runny and he is not very active. is there anything i can do to help him through...
unless you have advanced carpentry skills i would stay away from wood. the process to totaly water proof wood takes about a month an a half. If you do it wrong theres the mold thing but also it may splinter. after the process you also have to gas it out for a week or two.
If that is the case, my veiled is a stud. he is worse than "War", i think that is bottom one in video, but video helped alot. i hold one hand in front and sneek the other underneath him. i still get nipped but not as much.
i agree with julirs, screen is very versitile. holds heat,humidity and most importantly escapees(insects). i just switched to screen from metal mesh i think it is better for Chams. p.s. i live in US in somewhat cold area, they hold in heat soo much better.
i was having same problem. i live in Co. the temp right now is 21 degrees. the heater has been running a lot and zapping my humidity. i covered the back side of cage and one side with plastic(cage is screen all but bottom), also put a few plants on out side of cage. there are allready three in...
That is sweet. i wouldnt worry about infringment unless you plan on going bigtime. i not a lawyer but i am an artist, usualy if you are polite about it they leave you alone. that doesnt seem to be at all offensive so you should be alright. First class creative!!!
I think it is a good idea to feed them as many different feeders as they will eat. i must be lucky my veiled will eat any thing. recently i riggled a piece of collard greens in front of him and he ate it. He like silkies the most. i tried the stick thing,(placing on stick end in cage), he didnt...
Screameleons has a video that helped me. my veiled is fast and mean. he has never that i know of liked to be handled. after seeing video, i had no problems. I only remove him to clean his cage or go to vet. last vet visit he bit the nurse. I warned her to go slow and keep his attention with...
it is normal to a point. new chams often go through an adjusting stage.mine did the same ate, drank but no poop. after a week i started to worry, he was active , but no poop. first i tried warmer than average misting. second i tried a warm bath. about 5min after warm bath he passed giant poo...

Update
An update on new cage. had to move both lights farther away due to new cage's increased themal retension. had to add another thermo and hygro, more zones. had to reroute drip system,(he would drink right out of the tube.) reinforced fake plants to hold his new weight. added larger...
It is always better to go bigger now than to have them keep out growing habitats. I learned this with my iguana. he was 5" when i got him, he grew fast had to buy new cage every 6 months. i finaly got 4'x4'x8', he is now 6+ feet long. again i need new cage. the cham cage i use is 24"x36"x48"...
i took heavy duty hefty trash bag, cut and attached to back of my old cage. it was cheap and easy to replace. my new setup has drainage tub that is removable for easy cleaning. the mist doesn't go through sides either. I still keep towel on floor though just in case.
