Where do you get blue bottle flies from? Are the maggots from fishing tackle shops blue bottlegrubs? are they nutritious? I thought they lived on icky rotten meat and stuff???

My female chams both like spring greens...just make sure they are cut up into smallish pieces so they dont bite off more than they can chew LOL. From what I have researched veileds often eat greens and are a valuable source of vitamins and moisture. Yes they may have adapted to eat greens when...

What about a plated lizard....they are very sweet creatures! They eat crickets and locusts like chams do and also they like exotic fruits....pinapple and melon etc

Oooh what little beauties! Baby chams always make me smile :D Thanks for sharing!

Hi welcome to the forum. Whoa talk about jumping in at the deep end LOL! Hope all goes well. I look forward to seeing pictures of the babies

The sticky fly papers do work. The big yellow sort that you curl into a cylinder seem to work best...I guess fruit flies like the colour or something LOL. I bought sticky papers from the pound shop! Worked a treat. I am sure that the vingar thing works for some flys but when we had fruit flies...

Thanks Miss Lily :)

Anyone here own a skunk?

Hey thanks very much. I am sure that the crickets will enjoy the occassional feed up on them. It seemed a shame not to take advantage of the fresh oganic fruit for my cham ^__^ I dont really want to give my cham the runs tee hee but feeding the critters with them instead is a great idea

Yes thank you for all your good wishes. I am sat here now just watching her basking. Chams are beautiful creatures!

well just to let eveyone know, Tilly went for her stiches out today (after being spade) and she has got a full bill of health ^__^ Nobody knows what caused the sudden episode of swelling and gasping for air but we suggested maybe anaphalactic shock and the vet said well yes that may have been...

Wow complicated but very interesting stuff! Thank you for that link! The more we know the more there is to know though LOL

Is it OK for veiled chams to eat black currants once in a while? I have black/red currants and raspberries and alpine strawberries growing in my garden. I know too much fruit is not a good idea but can they have a little bit now and then....not too sure of the nutritional content of the...

I am fully aware that too much calcium is as bad as too little but what exactly does too much calcium do? I have not come accross the term hypercalcemia before.

Wow yes that is very informative and amazing! Zero UV through glass where ever we live LOL. Thank you very much :) In answer to how ofter do we get sun...well not very often which is why its the English and mad dogs that go out in the midday sun tee hee. We like to make the most of it when we...

Tilly....Juliet....Jester... and Romeo(but Romeo is no longer with us) all veiled chameleons!

I am curious about the amount of UV through glass? First of all let me just emphersize that none of my chams are in glass vivs or are put near windows to get UV etc but I was just wondering if the windows in America (which I understand have glass which is designed to not let UV through) are...

She is very pretty ^__^

Ha ha she is a fiesty little girl ^__^
