**update** She's drinking now. She's just not drinking when I like her to drink, she's doing it on her own time when I'm not looking. That's better than not drinking at all.

She's alone in her own cage. I've only introduced her to the male to see if she's receptive. She reacted very negatively. She does seem to gravitate toward flying insects such as moths that I've thrown in and the mealworm beetles - which didn't try to fly at all. She ate 4 of the beetles that...

Kinda looks like a male.

Either that's salt excretion, or your Cham partied like a rock star.

Thank you for the reply. She seems like a wild caught. As are the two males I already have. I believe she's gravid from her being extremely non receptive behavior from the male's advances. I've figured her out finally. She seems to be a finicky eater. She's not showing any interest in crickets...

Anyone would like to chime in? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bue....

I did. Nobody responded on it lol. :/

Mine is not eating nor drinking much water at all. Not sure how to force her to drink if it's my last resort... It's been 3 days since I've gotten her and she's drunk about 2 droplets total. I've been spraying her plant and enclosure constantly to keep the humidity so she won't get dehydrated...

It was a common issue in the past, but not a lot of people knew about it. Even in reptile shops that sells the bulbs. But back in the days, many in the reptile community began to discuss about the coiled bulb and what it has done to their skinks, bearded, turtles, etc..and personally, 3 of my...

I know, but from my own personal experience, my timor monitor got burns from prolonged close exposure to the same coiled bulb that almost blinded him. I believe in the same link, somewhere in the article that it mentioned of the bulb producing UVC instead of the UVB due to manufacturing defects...

Depends on the distance of the exposure I guess, but I'd say within the first 12 hours I guess. My savannah monitor and timor monitors both exhibited the symptoms the following day after initial basking exposure at about 6 inches away (they like to climb the basking branches). The skin burns...

Kinyonga, That's the same website I found more than 6 years ago when I was trying to find out why my monitors all starting to close their eyes and refuse to open them after I used the coiled UVB bulbs on them. One of my baby timor gotten a burn lesion on his shoulder after long basking exposure...

Coil bulbs are often defective. They produce UVC instead of UVB and cause burns on the skin and burns in their cornea and cause blindness. If you luckily gave gotten a good coil bulb, then I guess it wouldn't be an issue. But personally I have experience with defective coil bulbs and the damage...

Don't use coil UVB bulbs. They are not trustworthy and may be defective. So instead of producing UVB, it produces UVC which causes burns and blindness that eventually kills the lizard.

I've recently purchased an adult female t. Sternfeldi. She looks gravid, although I have no idea how far along she is in her "pregnancy". She's constantly basking under the spot light only wanders off occasionally to cool off. She's not feeding, at least not the crickets I give her. She's not...

My panther and now one of my rudis shoots his tongue out to drink water droplets from tips of leaves. It's not strange. It's just lazy. :/

They looked like maggots laid by some type of fly on the moist decaying dead locusts.

Well.. I guess in some cases it does work. Humans + Neanderthals, humans + denisovans, dogs and wolves, dogs and coyotes, etc... Heck, I might even have a mt. Meru jacksons and t. Sternfeldi cross chameleon.

Female veiled on the first. Male panther on the second.
