I am trying to give my Cham a liquid shot to treat for dehydration and the vet gave me a quick lesson but I can't get it, any ideas?:confused:

My boy is at the exotic vet and seems to be recovering from kidney failure. My question is do Chams usually have a decent life after a problem like this? Is he going to be prone to problems because of this issue? I know I need to get more water in my guy, going to keep an eye on the dripper and...

My male Jackson is currently at the exotic vet. I was told that he is suffering from kidney failure and they are trying fluids and other treatments. What would cause this condition? I took my time and set up everyting right. Can this come from wild caught food, tap water, lack of water, hygine...

I have a one year old male Jackson's that will only eat flies! He will go weeks without touching worms, crickets, or roaches. I put a fly in and eats it immediately. So are there any gut load able flying bugs? Any ideas for other flying insects to try? Please help!

My approx one year old male Jackson's has been sleeping during the day at times and spending more time than I like at or near the bottom of his enclosure. He will only eat blue bottle flies also! I have not seen him eat a cricket or worm in several weeks. He is drinking fine, urine looks good...

I recently tried Phoenix worms for the first time on my young adult male Jackson's. He really enjoys them and I want to make them part of his regular diet. Because of the high calcium level in these feeders and Jackson's reaction to over supplementation, I want to make sure these are safe for...

I have a young male adult Jackson's and he loves Phoenix worms! What would be a safe amount to feed him these in a week? He also is getting gut loaded crickets and blue bottle flies and occassionally a super worm if he is in the mood to eat it, he is hit or miss on them. I know the phoenix worms...

I use distilled water in my adult Jackson's enclousre for his humidifier. I use distilled water becuase I have very hard water and even with a water softner tap water leaves white residue on the cage. I have never seen him drink this water, but he may, if he does is this bad for him?

Does anyone use these? Reading about them and they sound like they may be a good alternate feeder. Are these ok to use as a staple? Is that practical? Since my guy is on a cricket and roach strike trying to consider other options.

I bought my guy some blue bottle flies and he loves them! Problem is that is all he seems to want to eat now, have not seen him eat a cricket or horn worm since the flies came into his life. Do I just need to do tuff love and cut him off the flies? Will he go back to the staples after he gets...

I would like to try some feeder walking sticks or mantis bugs. I don't know if walking sticks are legal in the US? All the dealers seem to be in the UK. What are the best variety of mantis or walking sticks to use as feeders. My guy has no interest in any worms so I thought this might be a good...

I have a one year old male Jackson's who will only eat crickets! I want to get him to eat Dubia, super worms, what ever else is available but he shows no interest. Any ideas to try to vary his diet some more?

I have a year old male Jackson. He eats his crickets well but I hate the smell and noise and mess of crickets. I have tried roaches which he will take one and then he is done. Last few times he won't even eat one. Any suggestions for making this transition.

I was wondering what people think. Are farm raised crickets all the same? They are way cheaper at the bait shop than pet stores or mail order. I would be taking them home to gut load so is this ok? Would be the most convenient spot to get them in bulk for many people. Has anyone else tried this?

I have read about a lot of people using this for their Chams and was wondering how a adult male Jackson would do on this supplement? It seems like it would be easier to have everything in one but I know that Jackson's can be a little funky with supplements so I wanted to get some feedback before...

I am trying to offer my Jackson some Super Worms but they get away before he can get to them! He won't eat from a cup but he does eat crickets from a hanging feeder (supers don't work in this) that I got the idea from on here. Not sure how to mount a shallow bowl that will keep the worms in so...

I have a sub-adult Jackson (10-12 months old). He has been eating alot lately and I wonder if I should stop a a certain point or should I keep feeding him if he keeps eating? He ate 10 medium/large crickets today and a few small mealworms and two wax worms as a treat. Is this OK?

I got a new 5.0 UVB linear bulb to replace my CFL 5.0 bulb that I started with. I was wondering if I should/could keep using the CFL to give extra UVB to another part of my Jacksons enclousre without causing him any problems?

My Jackson is about 10 months old and his staple food is crickets. He won't hardly eat Dubia roaches, he does get a few wax worms a week as a treat, but I would like to try some other feeders. Wondering what is the best health wise to consider adding to his diet. Nothing to complicated, I only...
