Home Depot has thin sheets of plywood. I forget the actual name for it. But just get some and stain it with minwax or another polyurethane based pain or stain. Drill holes in the middle for drainage and put and extra thick coat of stain or paint where the holes are, making sure to get in the...

Something tells me you mutilated little animals as a child. I bet none of your neighbors let you near any of their pets. lol

Instead of multiple basking lamps...I try to provide a multitude of basking areas under the same lamp, to allow the cham to pick and choose what temps he wants to bask at. But I also don't depend on plants to provide my basking areas. I build them out of bamboo, like a scaffolding structure with...

Here is a useful calculator

I don't think they are toxic, but am not 100%, but what I do know is, what makes them "stink" is also a foul tasting substance. Most chams will either spit them out or ignore them all together.

Updates woman! And you know I want to roll over rule. I'll take 2 please. :D

This situation could turn very bad very quickly. I'm not going to harp on you about doing this. But please keep an eye out. Like Sandy said Melleri signs of aggression can be very subtle.

Like Brye said, you really need to get them cooler. Most people who are serious about montanes have a "montane" room that can be cooled separately from the rest of the house. A few members even make this their bed room, since it's so nice to sleep in 60 degree temps. I like it cold any how. lol

Nope cardboard. I've seen plastic used for bulk tubs of ice cream, but these are more like small buckets. lol Perhaps we are just more "green" :p I dunno

Some chams won't drink from a dripper at all, some need the tube in the cage. For my one that doesn't give a crap, (he just loves to drink) I took a plastic tray that some sushi came in, used a hot ice pick to poke a small hole in one corner. I just toss a hand full of ice in the tray. Works...

Looks good, but I would personally like more cover for him. In my baby veiled cage, I went and got a nice sized pothos, then replanted a quarter of it into a smaller 20 ounce plastic pot and hung it from the corner. I poked a hole in the pot with a hot ice pic and then used some pliers to make a...

That looks a lot like other pics we've seen on here of impacted sperm plugs. Do as Jann said, and definitely get this guy to another vet. The fact that your vet missed this impaction really speaks volumes about his/her lack of expedience with cham. This is a good resource for finding a good...

He is a looker that's for sure. Can you show him a mirror and get a pic. I'd like to see him fired up. You said you have a 5.0 UVB. What brand is this bulb? Currently one of the only acceptable UVB bulbs is the ReptiSun 5.0 linear tube type bulb. The wattage on your basking lamp seems like it...

For heat, just use a normal household incandescent bulb. What wattage depends on your ambient temp, but you want his basking temp in the mid 90s. For the UVB fixture, just go to Walmart. In their lighting section they have really cheap floro fixtures. My local one has them @ 18 inches for...

I have no issues with buying something from a pet shop. I make it a point to do my homework and know exactly what I'm looking for. This is essential if you expect to get a healthy animal. It is our responsibility to know more about the wanted pet in question, than the shop we are getting them...
