After seeing @jannb s gorgeous Lola, I had to post the other side of the veiled female spectrum which is Ophelia... she is so my spirit animal... dorky and clumsy. A couple days ago, she was wearing black duct tape and today, well... let's just say she is just plain goofy!

Ya just never know what might cause harm, so I'm posting this in case it happens to anyone else. New, big enclosure for Ophelia. As I was putting it together, the screwdriver slipped and I put a hole in the mesh in the farthest bottom corner. I only taped it up because I didn't want the...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say hello... it has been a busy year for us - divorce, a move, and all the stuff that goes with that. Ophelia has done well through it all... she is a trooper and a very cool cham! Once again, I wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped me...

Anyone have a good way to separate ants and roaches? I have hundreds of babies and I really don't want to toss them, but I've been trying to get the babies into a new container for hours and i'm at my wits end! grrrrr... the ants this year - they are KILLING me!

Changes happen fast and I love her silly faces when she goes through a shed :love:

It' been awhile since we have posted... life sometimes gets overwhelming :rolleyes: I had some free time, and I wanted to touch base with our cham-fam:love: We are doing well. I've been following all of @kinyonga's (and others) past advice and Ophelia is healthy and still as amazing as ever...

I have been gone for a week over Thanksgiving and I missed my girl so much! First time out in the sun today (since I left)... she was very happy to be out. These are just phone pics, nothing special, but wanted to share :love::love:

This girl... sigh. Today, I've been sitting near O's cage watching Stranger Things and she has been giving me the sign that she want out. So I take her out. She is sitting in my hand and my head is turned away from her slightly. I'm just letting her do her thing, ya know? She slowly moves...

Guess what she did? Laid a 29 egg clutch (down from 54-56) over night Saturday. I waited a full day before digging them up, to make sure she was done. If anyone remembers our last (and her first) time around, this is a very different story. I expected a similar routine from her, but this time...

Still learning her color language and this is a new color/pattern... tell me what she is sayin' - anything in particular?

This is a horrible picture, sorry, but she totally caught me off guard! She was showing some pretty colors and I wanted to take a quick pic. As I walked towards her enclosure and opened the door, she practically launched herself at my face! Now, I understand that she isn't motivated by love...

I am taking my Girl Scouts camping and prepped a bunch of food, snacks, etc. Before leaving, I fed my colony and, on a whim, put in 3 tiny pieces of Craisins and a few raw sunflower seeds. Other than a few cheerios here and there, my colony get the standard/approved healthy diet. Today was...

I know this isn't much and maybe someday Ophelia will have a true free-range area, but for now she gets to hang out here for an hour or so almost every day. Sometimes, early morning, this patch is in full sun then shades more as the day wears down. I put her on a potted Camilia which is...

Ophelia likes to bend in half when she eats her dubia... she's so funny :P

Enjoying sunny SoCal beach today :) My kids LOVE to find the crustaceans under the sand. They had the idea to catch a bunch for O... I'm always talking about providing a variety :ROFLMAO: I told them, no thanks! Hahaha these kids.

After laying, Ophelia has been much calmer. Generally choosing to hang out in the middle temp ranges. She hunts her crickets, moving around top to middle. When she is resting, I've noticed her paws/claws/oven mitts don't close around the branch fully. Mean anything I should be worried about?

Can I house them together?

Finally. I plan to write up a blog on her first clutch, but for now, just wanted to let you know that she has laid 54 eggs. The laybin is still in her enclosure (hopefully, she is finished but with her I just don't know for sure). She was 163g at the last vet appt. and today weighed at 140g...

I need to give Ophelia 0.16mls of Panacur. If I measure out the medicine using the syringe to the right spot... there is more medicine in the tip. Shouldn't that amount be accounted for?? I don't want to do something stupid like over medicate her. Help?? Also... how far back in the mouth do I...
