Hey I wasn't sure whether or not to post this here or in food but I figured here would be best. My Cham won't eat crix, he refuses. I have left them in there(feeding cup their legs were clipped) for 2 days and didn't touch them. He is only 4 months but he eats any kind of worm no problem...

That was sad that the baby Cham got eaten...but how do I say this politely...HE HAD HUGE BALLS LOL!!! I can't believe he actually got that close to that other cham he could have easily gone the other way...but he tried to act cool and challenge and got owned....sad but...such is the life in...

Everything you are doing seems fine, don't worry about that. Maybe once the glass door has been changed out this will change. For now, maybe move the heat light a bit further away from the cage to see if this stops so not as much heat is getting in. As for gutloading your crix, do not give...

Correct me if I am wrong anyone...but a 3 month old cham does not require a heat light if the temps in the house are good enough correct? They start to need one around 5-6months?

Gaping usually means too hot. What kind and how old is he/she?

I would recommend getting some calcium powder without D3 in it. Go to the nearest pet store that sells stuff for reptiles and look for the Zoo Med reptile calcium power without D3. Minerall lacks the sufficient calcium that your cham requires. and should be used maybe once or twice a...

I would be worried about the needles poking them in the eye and causing eye trauma more than skin irratation, I would not suggest pines. As for the free range enclosure, do you have them in the same enclosure? If they are still babies that is fine but if they are more than 3 months old I...

I ended up buying a seperate glass terrarium enclosure, which I also use as a "quarantine" enclosure if they are sick. It holds moisture better, and loses less heat, you just have to keep it clean daily so the water it retains does not go stagnant. Works great for transporting just add a...

Yeah I cup feed all my chams...I don't like letting bugs loose lol Wife would kill me. For crix I just clip their jumping legs...I know that sounds sadistic lol but that way they can't escape. I agree with the gripping they love it gives them alot to hang on to where screening is a little to...

DAMNIT...I knew someone would chime in with that one....THANKS JULIRS lol. :D I already anticipated that...and that is why I spent 3 hours going over every little hole with a fine file to make sure there are no sharp edges... I KNOW I HAVE NO LIFE LOL. The chicken wire I used has very...

Thanks for the help, I will try LLL to see how much it comes out to after shipping and Canadian - American conversion :p Now I have a question about bulbs. I have been hearing/reading alot about flexariums and how they limit the amout of UVB that come from the Bulbs? Is this true? If it is...

Hello Everyone, I was just wondering if there is a website that anyone knows of that I can buy these Reptisun 5.0 Tubes from in Canada? I can only get my hands on the Exo-Terra ones here, and if I when I have seen the reptisun 5.0 Tubes which is rare here, they are 59.99 each so I think I...

I agree I believe the age should be 1 year to 1 and a half years before they begin breeding.

Hey RachelRiot If you have a female veiled cham, they start to change to a different colour called "gravid colouring" They get darker and yellow and blue. Google Gravid Colouring in Veiled Chameleons or look at Brad's Thread raising kitty the veiled chameleon here is the link...

You can even go cheaper than that and use Newspaper or Paper Towel. These have to be changed Daily, but there is always free newspaper kicking around. I have had a beardie for almost 3 years now and he kicks ass. He has a cataract on one eye though so he can't see out of his left eye which...

I would call where you got them and complain or ask for a refund or to resend you some. I would not be happy if I was supposed to get 18 and 10 were alive and 3 more just died.

OK I do agree with this 12hours on and off deal, however, isn't it a bad idea to keep them in this mode? I do recall hearing from Brad on one of my posts that it can affect their breeding habits to keep them in constant "summer mode" especially females. Seasons change regardless of where you...

I will call canadian silk worms for you and ask them what to do in the interim they breed them and sell them. I will post back in a few minutes. I got their voice mail and left them a message to call me back as soon as I hear I will post it.

LOL, I understand, Yes you have to keep your insects fed, remember what goes into them goes into your cham, so make sure it is nutritious. I was told for silk worms to get Blueberry leaves if they run out of that mud type substance they eat. You can go to www.canadiansilkworms.com for info...

Hey, First off, you can ditch the UVA, all you need is the basking lights and the UVB Tube get rid of any compacts you have, they cause major eye issues. Secondly, how long have you had him? Sounds like stress. You have to give him time to get used to his new enclosure. Give him about a...
