I've noticed today that my 16 week old veiled has a very slight kink in his tail near the end. i saw it as he was walking along his branch and although its a very very slight kink its still there. He has no problems using his tail to grasp or to curl when he is resting so it might be ok but it...

Hi,thanks for that :) He does always have access to water now as i have a dripper going for most of the day on a 1 drip a second speed running down the leaves into a flowerpot. He also gets a good spraying 3 times a day for a good 4-5 minutes but if im honest i only ever see him drinking when i...

I've been using a product called Nutrobal and its a calcium and multivitamin sup. http://www.petsparade.co.uk/reptiles/supplements-cricket-foods/?p=1790 I normally put one pinch in with the crickets and locusts when gut loading them and a small pinch to dust them before feeding him.

Great news!!!

My cham has in the last week started to display some white residue powder like stuff around one of his nostrils. Its not a large amount but noticable and i have learnt this comes from oversupplimentation. Since it appeared i have stopped dusting his food before i give it to him to see if this...

Taken the bulbs out now guys and not only does the enclosure look better but i feel a lot more relaxed too!!! Has made no difference in the temps either and if anything its raised them slightly as the bulb is facing straight down rather than at an angle like before..

Excellent, thanks for the advice, i will be sorting that out tomorrow!!

I agree and although the spot bulb is quite out of the way from him to get to i dont think it would be a prob for him to get to if he wanted to! That was my point to the guy in the shop... I'm going to move it outside tomorrow! Is it ok for the bulb to be very close to the mesh or would it...

I have to admit that i have lights inside the enclosure but they are coming out next week! The guy in the shop i got him from said it was fine to set up this way but im always worried about water hitting the bulb but again he said it would be ok! I have found too that my cham had a habit of...

So i've had my little 16 week old cham just over 2 weeks now and was really worried for the 1st week as he never ate or drank anything and sat in the shade all day with his eyes closed. After some great advice on here he is doin much better and cant get enough locusts!!! He still curses at me...

Should i be worried? I saw him stand up on a branch and open up his mouth widely and then spat out a half digested locust. It did look quite big so maybe he could not handle it as he is only 4 months old?? He seems to be eating and drinking ok apart from this?

So i got one of the pump up misters and have given the viv 3 seperate 4 min blasts with it as well as having a dripper going and he still has not drunk a thing as far as i can see. He is sitting there with a dip hanging off his lip but he wont touch it... He seems to be eating ok but its the...

Charlie... :)

Thank you. I've adjusted his lighting to come on at 6.30 am and to turn off at 6pm. i think i will need a more hardy sprayer as the one i have has just melted as i poured near boiling water into it!!!

its luke warm water and i always test it in the back of my hand. the problem i find is whenever i spray it it always seems too cool even though the sprayer is very hot!

Thanks for the prompt reply :) yes i did not rush into buying him lightly, I did a lot of research about them and tried to make his habitat as natural as i could before i got him. I'll up my spraying as suggested and see if this helps. He hates the spraying with a passion so would this not...

i got myself a 16 week old veiled cham about a week ago and for the first few days he was not eating or drinking much but he seems to of found his appitite now i have changed from giving him crickets to baby locusts. He runs a mile as soon as he sees the sprayer i use for misting and goes and...
