Just when you think you have everything going smooth... Rango is my male (~ 1.5 years old) Ambanja. He is absolutely the neatest pet I have ever owned and I must admit, he gets more attention than any other pet I have ever had. I've had him for ~ 6 months and watched him shed and grow and...

Just an update on Rango and his girlfriend. I took him to the breeder last Friday...no interest between him or the female. At least there was no aggression. Both are 9-10 months old. Saturday...nothing Sunday...nothing Monday...1/2 day...nothing Today...nothing so far. Still no...

So...Rango put on his best colors as we headed off to breed him with a beautiful Ambilobe female this morning. As the two were introduced, she just sat there on her vine as Rango climbed from one corner to the next of the enclosure. The both constantly eyed each other from different angles...

After a couple of months of thinking about this, my 10 month old Ambanjo male, Rango, is finally having his first "affair" this week. His date will be at the place we purchased him, here in Florida. This store specializes in exotic pets and their staff is exceedingly knowledgeable and...

Are there any plant nutrient suppliments that are safe to use for both plants and Chams? I have a large Ivy plant in my 53" tall inside enclosure. It was thick and leafy, but now, the large leaves are falling off every time Rango climbs around. I water the plant ~ 2 times a week and my...

My 9 month old male Ambanja eats like a pig, stays well hydrated and enjoys both his inside and outside enclosure. I feed him gut-loaded (and dusted) crickets, and throw in a few superworms and silkworms (mostly hand fed) for variety. He did a complete shed 2 weeks ago and is also still...

This morning when the lights came on, Rango looked like any other Ambanja. He was under his basking ilght as usual starting the day off with a little "sun". The unusual part was that he wasn't hungry and didn't run to the hand misting bottle to get his morning drink...kind of odd I thought...

I've had my inside enclosure set up for a month now and purchased a large EXPENSIVE sandblasted grapevine for a basking spot. This morning, I noticed a dark brown pile of small powder like substance on 2 of my ivy leaves directly below one of the basking branches. Looks like tremite poop...

Rango, our sub adult Ambanja, is doing great, enjoying a life of leisure, eating, drinking, becoming very socialized and also enjoying the Florida weather outside almost daily in a separate enclosure. Inside, we keep our house at a comfortable 72 degrees and with heat bulbs, his enclosure is...

My now 9 month old Ambanja male is up early each morning basking and I have a routine where I hand mist the leaves close to him to induce drinking ~ 9:30 AM. He does this regularly without fail. He will drink from the leaves for a short period, often letting me spray the water into his mouth...

I was in my exotic reptile store today purchasing a mister for my outside enclosure and was approached by one of the sales folks. He had remembered me purchasing our Male Ambanja there several weeks ago. Apparently, the owner is interested in breeding my Male with one of their large...

Since I've had my sub-adult male Ambanjo, he's been a beautiful pooper. I'm feedng him an average of 10-12 dusted/gut-loaded crickets per day, so I would expect nothing less of him. He has great color, very active, drinks regularly (from mister and from spray bottle) and shows NO SIGNS of...

After almost 3 weeks of nothing but good behavior, my sub-adult Ambanja has changed some of his habits. He is spending a lot of time on his favorite vine with his head facing down. He still basks on his favorite spot, and climbs all over the cage as usual. He is still eating good...

Today, Rango, our sub-adult Ambanjo male, has entered the world of our back yard in his new cage. If feeding and drinking is a sign of happiness, well...HE MUST HE HAPPY, as he jumped right in, enjoying crickets and drinking from the misting nozzle. Any thoughts from the group on just how...

As you know, I'm a fairly new Cham owner for only ~ 2 weeks. I've been away for a couple of days and started hand feeding RANGO again this morning. My wife was feeding him while I was gone and he ate regularly. He has always seemed a good "feeder", but today, over a 4 hour period, I...

My sub-adult Ambanja is < 1 week old from the Pet Store and is used to "feeding" when the employees get to work (~ 10:00AM). Their idea of feeding was to throw a 1/2 doz + crickets in the cage, then move on. I'm sure this was a regular routine for them (and him). Now that he's home, I'm...

OK...so things were going well with my new Cham until I decided to add new artificial vines/leaves to the top and sides Sunday PM. The are very leafy and life-like and my whole idea was to make a backdrop to catch mist from my MistKing and provide additional drops of water for RANGO. From day...

Here is my first posted photo. More to come as I get my gallery set up. Gary Tampa, FL

OK boys and girls, I finally dug out my NIKON just before RANGO decided to curl up for the night. Today, (day 2), I have him eating crickets and superworms from my fingers! We are on our way to BONDING! You can see his photo finally. This is his "normal" colors. When he's HOT...he's...

Today, I picked up my male ambajole Cham on schedule and brought him in to his new "home". He is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL to say the least...oranges, reds, pearl stripe down his side broken with blues ranging from deep sky blue to tourquoise. He climbed into his abode and spent about 10...
