Your only issue will be if he gets stationed in Hawaii. Hawai'i won't allow the cham and the rabbit will have to be quarantined for 90 days to make sure he doesn't have rabies (Hawai'i has no known cases of rabies). Besides that, your best bet is to ask the base housing people about the rules. I...
it's hard to say because when she first got him, she knew NOTHING about chams and got him as a kind-of "happy birthday to me" thing. I had to help her out a lot, but I only see her every few weeks or so. but he does seem healthy. I don't know if he is handled much - when I see him, and go to...
OK, so this is not a post for me, but for my friend (and I promise it's a real friend and not just me saying it's "for a friend" lol). She got a cham for her birthday in october. He is a male veiled and looks to be about 6-8 months old (she got him at petsmart/petco and she had no idea how old...
haha oh Waipahu! Never ceases to amaze me what you could find for sale there after some football games - I've seen people trying to sell the pakilolo after the games! On school property nonetheless.
He probably wild caught them or if he's breeding them, it may have been the mom and pop and...
I wouldn't worry too much. I used to breed Jackson's in Hawaii and they all swish the water around in the turret after misting and they will sometimes really bug their eyes out. My biggest male, karma, would freak me the hell out sometimes because he would wait until the mister went off and...
Howzit!!
When I was living in Hawai'i, I found that there was a possibility of too much humidity in my cage that caused some fungus growing in the corners that the crickets were eating and that were, in turn, making my Jackson's sick. Maybe check and see if that's a source of the problem...
I reported my local petco after I rescued a female from them who was already showing signs of MBD ... at roughly 1.5 months. She passed away, unfortunately, during her first egg laying attempt. But they didn't carry chams for almost 8 months and I was there yesterday to look at the kitties and I...
That's what I'm figuring. I know he did have a sudden change in temp recently - our power was out for a few days in November and I had to keep him warm via blankets and such over the cage and his temp did dip down, so I',m just wondering if it's maybe a residual reaction to the sudden change in...
I agree - it's hard to see, exactly, but it almost looks like a bruise or burn. Was he resting near his basking spot recently, with his chin near the lamp? Sometimes the netting in the cage can get warm and burn them a bit. Kukui burned his casque a while back and it was because the heat lamp...
I know a lot of people don't like my use, but it works for me. I use olive oil. Olive oil has a history of being used as an anti-bacterial "lotion." I have, on the bottom of Kukui's cage, some of those foam things you can get a craft store. When it's time for a cage cleaning (this weekend...
Jann-
I just stumbled across this post now. I loved Camille, just like many of the forum members did! She is the type of cham we all dreamed of eventually having - beautiful, friendly, and with such an awesome personality! I feel as if I am in mourning with you - your cham family is beautiful...
