Just spoke to a Shop Owner today. He is selling snakes, turtles and Chams. He said that 95% of turtles are easy to keep and won't die even in the shop over several months. Snakes survive around 80%. But Chams 50% or less. They all believe that they are very difficult to keep appropriate...

Don't know. But if you place him in a room with visual relation to the outside lighting, you will for sure confuse him with a late night light schedule. I would always time the lighting with the local sunrise/sunset. Only if they are completely indoor with no access to daylight (or any visual...

Isn't 10.0 UVB a bit too much? I use 5.0 only. And I think, you should be able to get closer to 80 in the day for the basking spot.

Maybe not related to your issue, but I think you feed him too late. Try to feed in the morning and at noon, early afternoon. They are cold blooded and need enough time to digest food by consuming sun and heat. 6 pm is rather late to digest.

His eyes are huge. Hope his horns will be too.

Sorry for the loss. Beautiful Cham. It will remain in your heart for sure.

Safe. The greener the better. Mine love hoppers. Some of their staple diet as they hate crickets.

Great pics of great chams. Especially the first one. Thanks for sharing.

I wrap them in newspaper. Mist it slightly and put into the fridge.

If your Cham is not stressed with you, you might weigh it frequently especially if you are new to the 'business'. But if it is less social with you, I would pay more attention to the proper gut loading of the feeders (as handling it might be even more counterproductive then).

On top next to the basking light, so that the Cham gets both while basking. Usually as central over the cage as possible to cover as much area as possible. The basking light can be off centered and only over the basking branch.

Don't put the worms into the fridge as they might die. Eggs ok. They will hatch in warmer temperatures. Some are ok with eating dandelion leaves but usually they are very programmed on mulberry. If they are big enough and don't have any more food left they simply cocoon. Depending on the...

Sounds like a plan. In China (where they originally come from) they usually breed them in open crates or bamboo baskets (the ones you use for dim sum steaming but bigger). Once they are ready for cocooning, they transfer them to a vertical crate or egg crate. Chow works but the leaves are...

Very nice Cham. Shouldn't there be a bit more yellow around the mouth if it is Ambanja? I guess it is an ambilobe inside as well.

Do you mean by community to live together in one cage? I certainly wouldn't do that with Jackson's unless it is a huge cage with a lot of visual protection from each other. I might be wrong but maybe carpets and meller's and parson's might be more suitable for this.

I'll take two for 50.

Sooooo nice looking Chams.

Welcome to the forum and nice Zoo you have there. The main problem is the night time temperature drop in your area. We have the same problem here in Hong Kong, where the summer nights hardly cool down. Best is to have a temperature drop of around 10 degrees fahrenheit at night.
