She would probably like Phoenixworms also sold as Calciworms. They are very soft and very high in calcium, so they are an excellent food for chams with MBD. You can buy them here http://www.phoenixworm.com/servlet/the-Phoenix-Worm-Sizes--Place-Order-Here/Categories she would be able to eat the...

Not when the room is 68 degrees, it won't. But I've already told him that 1 100w would be better for his cham. He is also going to have a vet check his cham, which may have an eye infection or sinus infection.

Sounds good.

Sounds good, Chase. I wanted to be sure chillwill007 knew what to do, too. I've raised over 50 of them over the past year in Exo-Terra terraria--so I'm surprised to see you getting rid of one. I used bamboo skewers stuck into the foam backgrounds to allow them to walk all over the...

Yes, it can be. A dry tongue will also cause feeders to not stick to the tongue.

Tums aren't anywhere near as good as this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00112G29O/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= You might be able to get it at a local pharmacy counter--probably behind the counter. It is made for human use but is typically used to treat chams with MBD. 1 drop in...

Sleeping could be caused by a number of different things. Not getting enough sleep at night, dehydration and illness are things that come to mind. If his eyes are irritated, from too intense UVB, too much heat or from infection, he may close his eyes even without sleeping. In any case, a...

Congrats! They are all totally adorable. Just be sure to keep those little cuties well-hydrated, since they can be stubbornly resistant to drinking until sprayed directly for a few minutes. I would get some calcium-rich Phoenixworms and silkworms to help ensure they get the calcium they...

Your house is 66 degrees during the day or is that at night? Your basking temp is too high for such a young cham. I would switch to just one basking light, so that he can sit near the UVB and get either warmer or cooler, depending on his needs---and the one 100 watt bulb might be just...

Excellent post!

Two 100 watt bulbs sounds like an awful lot of heat for a cage of that size. You want the right amount of heat in a basking spot but you also want the temperature to be different in different areas of the cage, so he can get warmer or cool down, as he needs to. Is the room he is in totally...

Hi Kaylee, sorry your cham has MBD and parasites but it's very good that you got her to your vet and he diagnosed the 2 problems. I'll be happy to say some prayers for your cham. The links that Jannb provided are very good and the last link she posted about MBD is excellent, since it was...

So sorry for your loss. :(

Sorry for your loss.

So very sorry for your loss. :( Jackson's are so sweet--they really do leave a void in your heart when they pass.

WOW--at 194 grams, your Jackson's must be nearing a record. That is one huge cham---and one of the best kind of chams, I might add :) He must have one heck of a mighty grip :eek:

On Light Your Reptiles website here http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/100waarmevad.html the recommended distance for basking is 14-16 inches from the Arcadia MVB bulbs. Naturally, you have to be mindful of the basking temperature, as NHenn has advised. You could ask Todd at LYR if that...

That is a very good plan. I'd definitely skip the D3 for a month. UVB-wise it really doesn't matter where a cham is indoors because they won't be getting any UVB at all from sunlight passing through window glass. The UVB bulbs are one invention that has really helped people to keep chams...

It's good to know of alternative tubing when "in a pinch". You do need to be careful, though since only the Toro blue stripe has a pressure rating of 161 (versus 250 psi for MistKing) exceeding 70 PSI. NHenn, I chuckled when I clicked on the link you provided because that particular tubing...
