I am sure you will be!!! You found this forum which has given me a vast amount of knowledge and some unknown tricks to avoid expensive vet visits. I would have had to sell him a long time ago because of costs without this place. :D
Thanks!!! I love when he sheds. This time he shed when I was gone so I came back to a messy cage and a persnickity cham. He seems to have a ton of energy and is out of his normal character a few days after his sheds.
I am excited that he is starting to come around. Sometimes I use the glove and sometimes I dont. Almost daily I coax him onto my hand with the cup full of his food and then lead him to where the cup hangs in his cage. He's getting better!
I would not worry about it too much and to answer your question yes it is normal for this to happen. I would watch him just in case a RI starts to present itself. I have had great success in getting rid of a start of an RI with Reptaid. LLL Reptile sells it. This is a good product to have on...
I have had this happen before and it sucks. Not to be a pesimist but dont expect to get anything that you left in it back. I hope you get it all back but when they took my GTI, they parked it and took all the little goodies out like my tools, radar and a lot of other stuff.... I was so freakin...

Glena. There might not be anyone on right now who knows how to answer your question the best. I know the veiled expert is not online right now but she does check in almost daily. Here is the link to her profile. You could try to PM her. Her name is Jann

Haba mist machines are not worth it!!! I have one and they are terrible. They shouldn't be able to call it a misting device as it is more of a water gun. Hand mist and save up for a better system. $30 more and you can get the mist king basic set up.
