Hi again! Def leave the lights on the same cycle as you would normally e.g. 12 hours on and 12 off. If she is unable to get enough privavcy down in her laying box it may be worth leaving her covered up so she feels happy enough to lay :)
Female chams tend to be awkward like that - sometimes they look "eggy" and sometimes not!
Other signs to look out for are descending to the bottom of her viv and starting digging behaviour and going off her food. Keep an eye on her colouring too - normally gravid females will have a much...
So sorry to hear about little Norman - he's sounds like he was a cheeky little soul! I didn't sleep for days after my cham died and i ended up on valium from the doctor. I so know how your feeling at the moment - chams seems to grab hold of your heart. It's amazing to have them in your life but...
It's definitely difficult to say from the photos - have you tried to gently palpate her to see if you can feel any eggs inside? Whilst you are still unsure it is definitely best to keep a laying bin in her tank - ensure it's full of either sand or a sand/soil mix that is moist - have a go at...
As a rule humidity greater than 85% can contribute towards the growth of bacteria and fungi. Since the humidity in the area your keeping your cham is high make sure you ensure the ventilation of the area is good. You could also try a dehumidifier in the general area to lower the humidity too.
you can keep waxies in the fridge but if possible only on the shelves on the inside of the door as its slightly warmer than other parts of the fridge. if you keep them like this then they will be difficult to gut load as they go dormant. feeding them powdered bee pollen is fab as its very...
i would try and wait for her to come to you - if you try to grab her she is likely to continue holding onto a branch which may result in an injury to her leg or feet. if you really need to get her out using a stick for her to climb on is good or ive found stroking their feet sometimes encourages...
It definitely depends how he lost them - doesn't sound lke an infection or you would have noticed the feet going black. It's common for chams to snap off nails whilst climbing about - especially on wire fronted cages - and they can grow back but it depends on where along the nail it was broken...
Hi
Sounds like she is having some difficulty adjusting to her new home but try not to worry they can be sensitive little creatures and get used to routine more than people give them credit for!
Sounds like she isn't distressed as she is eating and even from your hand too which is a good...
Thats so awful - i'm so sorry for your loss. Poor little chap:(
It gets easier - please believe me - but the pain is horrendous i know.
Thinking of you
Thanks all of you for your kind words - Wendyeeeo you totally summed it up with the words 'emotional investment' :) Describes it perfectly i think.
I've been putting a fresh flower on her ashes box each day and giving her photo a kiss :)
