They're so sweet! What's pipping by the way?

I want one too! I've been having such a hard time lately trying to find anything that Piko is interested in eating. I think wild bugs may be just the thing. amazon don't have them, except through a third party, so I will go with petguys too. Great price, even with shipping.

I can't seem to find any on the west coast. Does anyone know where i can get some? Mulberry Farms and west coastal all say out of stock. Is this because it is earlier in the year, or because of high demand? Thanks

So I have an appointment to see the reptile vet, but not until late this afternoon. She's sleepy, and although I warm misted her for what seemed like hours, she only drank a little. Shall I try some Pedilyte to tide her over until her vet visit? It should be easier to give her that than the...

He's a comical little guy isn't he! I'm off to the vet this evening, got the last appointment of the day. Can't get Piko to eat. Now I think her lethargy and disinterest may because of not getting her calcium supplements...because she's not eating! Anyway, just venting, and I remembered your...

No, she's never been with a male as far as I know! I bought her from FL chams last summer at a reptile show. Somebody has offered to mate her with one of his male jackson's, because she's nice and big ( his words! ) but I don't want the worry! What would I do with a bunch of little jackson's...

another pic of her home

They took an Xray (for free) at the vets because there were some student vets there I believe, and I didn't mind. I did post a health form on the 31st, and you were kind enough to respond Carol. Do I need to fill out another? I'll try and attach some photos too, but it always seems to be a...

I need your advice. Piko, my 1 year old Jackson's, has not been eating or pooping for weeks. I took her to the reptile vet last Friday, the 28th, where they found an injured eye, and a tummy full of poop and gas! Ointment was prescribed for the eye, plus warm baths and tummy massage. She did...

I'm putting together a larger cage for my cham. I want to use some pieces of sandblasted grapevine, as she really likes basking on it. But, I know it gets moldy looking form all the misting. Is there a preferred wood sealant I can use? I have a new piece that hasn't been spoiled yet, so wanted...

Is one kind of wood sealant better than another? I really like the sand blasted grapevine but it does get kind of ugly looking from constant misting, so I'd like to seal the next pieces I buy. Also, think about a small abutilon. Admittedly, my cage is outside, but I remembered, after killing...

So, Piko still is not eating, so I bought some Repta Boost. When I give it to her, what is the best way to get it in her mouth, and should I aim for the front or further back? I don't want to choke her! I do know gentle is the way to go. How much at one time? 0.5 cc?

You can also buy this plastic mesh stuff from Joann's for a couple of dollars. Just cut it to fit the pot, and add a few holes for the plants. It will allow water through, and your cham can even stand on it. Place it on top of the rocks. It will also catch bugs, and poop! Easily washable.

Very handsome wee chap!

Update on Piko and the poop So, I stayed home today in a desperate attempt to get Piko to poop. I gave her a nice warm misting in the morning and she had a good drink. Then I gave her a couple of drops of mineral oil, which wasn't easy. Mostly, she got a shiny face! In the afternoon, I got her...

Dubias are easy to take care of once you get the hang of it. I bought a large black rubbermaid type bin, big enough that you can stand eggcrate on its end, and still have space under the lid. Drill a few holes around the sides, as dubias can't climb well. Get some eggcrate, about 6 to 8 of them...

Yes, she gets out and loves it. Usually, she marches along the fence and stares at the pepper tree trying to figure out how to get to it. So cute! I'm setting up a larger cage for her this week, a 48" dragonstrand, as she's been so antsy about wanting to get out as soon as she sees me. But...

I think I may do something similar. I'm setting up a larger cage for her, the 48" one, and I was going to use the screen wedge, and the normal single nozzle. But, as I seem to be having hydration issues, maybe I should go to the 'rain' method instead. Hmmmm. I need to think this through. I...

I'm sure you're right about the hydration, as my MistKing was clogged earlier last week,,and is fixed now. She didn't actually drink from that though. I have her dripper going extra fast today while I'm gone. I will try the warm cloth tomorrow when I'm off, as I don't get home until 8 p.m...
