God I must be annoying. I've started around 15 threads and don't even have my cham yet! Anywho, I actually found a T5HO fixture I had laying around from one of my saltwater tanks that I thought I sold. However, its major overkill and is a 30" 4 bulb fixture. My question is, can they have...

As well as getting a screened cage, get rid of the substrate. Cham tongues are sticky and when going for food they may get some of it too, swallow it, and become impacted. This leads to death, or a heafty vet bill. Either go barebottom, paper towels, or astroturf instead..

Yes, that is good, but make sure you get a basking light too! And I just want to make sure since you say you already have the stuff, how old is the bulb?

Rather than you just sending in the letter, would having all of our signatures help at all? Turn it into a petition?

How would the drawer not be sterile? Each set of silkies has their own little container that is just inside the drawer for organization. However, on the above drawers the crickets and roaches will be free to move around. If this isn't sterile enough, can you think of a way to make it so...

So do you think it would be a good idea to have three sets of hatched silkies separated by a week? I would be feeding the three week olds to the cham? Or should I add in a few more? Also, maybe you could help me with this too since you're an avid bugger =) I'm planning on using crickets...

He will be 6 months when I get him. Its one of Camimom's Kink babies.

When I get my cham I would like to feed silkworms. From what I've read, besides having your own colony buying eggs in bulk and hatching them as needed. I've been researching all night and am reading about the different "instar" stages. My question is what instar stage is the best to feed to...

Sounds exactly like a question I asked about a week ago. I'm right where you are. lol Don't forget a calcium supplement WITHOUT D3 as well. They're only supposed to get the one WITH D3 twice a month. The one WITHOUT D3 is daily. Edit: We were replying at the same time, lol

I've read and knew pretty much all of that except this! I've been researching for a few months and that actually was the exact cage I was going to get, but I'm thinking I'm actually going to DIY a cage instead. The fly larvae is genious. And yes, except the Wednesday trip I do go home...

I'm cham-less at the moment, but I am rat girl. When I was little I used to rollerblade everywhere with my white rat on my shoulder nestled in my hair. I'm thinking about getting a little cham-harness and going for walks with him where my little rat used to hang...lol Gotta soak up that sun...

Sorry Dan! I hate being that new member that doesn't do a forum search first. Ive done them for other things, and I'm on tons of other forums for different things, but the search function on this forum rarely gives me anything remotely close to what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

How about a how to cage setup?

Didn't notice it on your list, but don't forget Pet Supplies Plus.

I'm in the market for a cage and nothing really seems to have all the features that I want. =( I'd like a whole hood/canopy hiding the lights and wires, a proper drainage system, and for it to just look pretty and not like something out of a mad scientist's lab! These are just my preferences...

Thank you!!! This was SERIOUSLY keeping me up at night (it was written at 2:30 am my time)! lol I already have a vet for the little fella too. =) Can you think of anything else besides the obvious (cage, supplements, etc) I can get for him before he arrives? Any noob advice?

Awww, fostering is so hard. I used to bottle feed kittens when I worked at an animal shelter. I would pester their new owners relentlessly... I hope that ignorant idiot who originally ordered them doesn't come back and get them. -_-

Aww..this poor baby. I commend you on doing so much for him, you're a wonderful owner. We're all sitting on the edge of our seats for you, no doubt. Heck, give us ten updates a day! Good luck, dear.

Alright, help me out here. I'm a college student and my home is about an hour away from campus. I was planning on getting my first cham at the end of this semester, however I'm a little at a loss at what I'm going to do with him when school starts up again. I come home every weekend for...

I always name my animals by the first thing that pops into my head when I first see them. If he were mine, his name would be Francesco. Frankie for short. =P
