Exactly, and well, the temps given are the easiest to keep them safely. Any hotter than 90 and you have to increase the amount and frequency of mistings. 2 30 second mistings a day at 95F, just won't cut it.

And keep in mind, just because you don't see the male actively beating the snot out of the female, doesn't mean she isn't showing signs of stress. Nor does it mean that even the most subtle sign of stress, over a long period of time can and usually does end in death to the stressed cham. Keeping...

Can't wait to see some pics of the females!

What I do is remove everything from the bin except crickets of course. Being careful to tap the egg crates etc, to make sure no escapees are riding along. Then I put the lid back on. Grab the bin by the side and hold it so one corner (the bottom corner) is pointed at the ground. I then shake the...

Because, most sites about safe or not safe plants are oriented towards people, dogs, and cats. Chams are not usually in the authors scope when putting up a safe plant list. The list on FLChams site is geared towards chams. So there is the main difference.

Cleaning them out every 2-3 days really helps cut down on the smell and the number of deaths you have. The smell is a chemical, that when released by the dead crickets, will kill off the other crickets. You can help this by cutting large holes in the sides of the bin and gluing in some screen...

Sounds pretty cool looking. No pics? I just did a quick google, and came up with this. http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2009/f/z02269p042f.pdf And this http://www.flickr.com/photos/26042632@N03/4040607144/ If this is the new species, just wow.

That is an odd one, I havn't a clue.

Not all Substrates are bad. But the only 2 I would even consider using is organic non fertilized dirt or sphagnum moss. Most just tell you not to use any because it's safer for you to not use any, than risk you putting the wrong substrate in. And in all honestly, unless you have a living viv...

From my observations I'd say that they first put on extra weight in the casque, then the legs. If your chams legs look like baby thighs then you are over feeding. Looking at your avatar...best I can tell, no your guy isn't over fed.

very cool, congrats Laurie!

They each have different personalities. Though they have a higher percentage of "nice" ones compared to other species. Yes their personalities can change, due to any number of reasons. How long will it take for you yo earn his trust, also depends on the animal. Ye they can be housed alone...

This is great news Catherine! I know how hard you've been working to get some hatchings from this species. Job well done I'd say!

If the the environment conditions of being in captivity was the trigger for this larger size, then we would have seen these big guys years ago. It truly is a genetic mutation. Your guy you are showing pics of very well could be this same mutation showing it's head over in Aussy.Giants/Super...

Looks pretty cool. How is it being cooled??

No it isn't hype. The 10.0s should really only be used in massive cages and free ranges. The output is too much for the cham to be any closer than 12 inches from the bulb.

It was just a fluke, a breeder ( forget his name) had a baby that just got huge, He bred it and got more that bot huge. You can read about it here I also understand this genetic trait to be co dominant. So you can mix it with other dominant traits and get a combination of the 2 parents.

Why are you specifically looking for flowers? You can offer all kinds of leafy greens like kale, turnip and mustard greens, just to name a few. Flowers, I'm not sure of many, but I know hibiscus and roses are safe to feed.

The price is simple. Like I said, they are no longer allowed to be exported from the Solomon Islands. They are not extinct yet, but very close. Even though I think they only have a CITIES II classification. (I think). And they haven't been imported since the late 90s (again I think this is...
