Hassle over now, he climbed onto a little plastic box I had so I picked that up and moved it over to his cage for him to hop off. First time i've ever had him out since i've had him so it was an experience, one i'm not likely to repeat too often. I was just worried about his stress levels or...

If he was up high i'd find it easier but he's right behind my pc monitor now and because i'm above him he's a bit nervous :( now he's going lower! if I go near him he hisses, I don't wanna stress him out too much. Last time I try and give him a bath! lol

So I took Isambard out to bathe his feet in some warm water to get the last of the shed off his feet. I put him in the bowl, as soon as he felt the water he made a run for it! he's now hanging around behind my speakers, i'm able to reach him but he's having none of it. I offered my hand and he...

Really can't see how you can speculate that freezing to death will cause no pain, of course it will. I wasn't slating the op's care for his lizard. I just don't see why anyone wouldn't sacrifice $50, that will probably be spent on pointless crap, to give their pet that they care about a humane...

These are a cool company. I got one of their screen cages and the whole thing, including shipping, cost less than a nasty old flexarium bought here without shipping :)

I understand he might not be able to afford treatment but surely a jab to put him down can't cost that much? the poor little sod's clearly in agony :(

Yeah that's the rule of thumb I use but short of getting a ruler out and measuring between his eyes, really can't see him appreciating that! lol, it's a bit hard to tell. He seems to be satisfied with his current diet so I think i'll just leave it at that. If it aint broke and all that!

My veiled is 7 months old now. I've been feeding him medium sized roaches for the last two months which he seems to get down with relatively no problems. At what age do I move him on to adults? and do you think he's ready for superworms now? he still eats roaches but he must be really bored of...

I had this problem for a while. The way I overcame it was put all the roaches I was gonna feed him that day in his cup and see if he moves. If he doesn't i'd put one mealworm in there and he'd get all excited, come flying down off his perch and shoot straight for the worm. After he'd gobbled...

OK That's the best advice fireball! I just held a roach in on hand and held my other hand out to him, he strolled right onto it, took the roach, chomped it down and went back into his cage! Bribery is obviously the way forward :D

Oh so it's paraffin then, bloody foreigners with ya weird words :rolleyes::p Funnily enough the only two times i've held him have been when i've enticed him out with wax worms. I haven't bought any for him for a while (maybe that's why he's moodier than normal!) so I think i'll get some and...

No I don't think it's cutting circulation I think it's just irritating for him. He won't let me near enough to pick him up and put him in water! he hates being handled. What exactly is mineral oil? we don't use that term in the UK!

This is an ongoing thing that I can't seem to sort out. Isambard sheds fine except around his feet. He last shed about two weeks ago but has recently started wandering around his cage and scraping his feet on the vines like he has an itch he can't scratch! Last time he shed I upped his...

I really feel for him when he sheds but it makes me laugh at the same time. Especially when he scrapes his foot on his head, much like a dog scratching behind his ears lol poor little fella :(

Isambard, my veiled, is shedding again. Last time the skin didn't come off the toes properly and the dead skin turned brown. It didn't affect him at all but this time he's again having trouble getting it off his toes. I've sprayed them with warm water and he's now busy scraping his feet...

Does it? I though pothos was perfectly safe for chams?

Rather than start a new thread for each issue I thought i'd make an all in one thread :D I don't think any of these issues are major but I thought i'd ask anyway 1. I'm having a bit of trouble balancing supplements. I supplement twice a week with nutrabol (multivitamin, calcium and D3) my...

Hey Winston, http://www.butterworms.co.uk/silkworms.html do silkworms. Not cheap but worth it to help your cham get better :) Oh they're out of stock at the moment. Could try butterworms maybe? I dunno if they're any good for hydration.

Not at all, he has no trouble climbing whatsoever. My mum just popped round for a cup of tea and she seams to think it's just dead skin too.

No I didn't because i've heard this isn't a good idea, besides he won't let me that close to him anyway!
