So I went to my normal petstore (NOT A CHAIN STORE) to re-up on 1/4 crix for my 4 month old Veiled female and of course they are out till tomorrow afternoon (hopefully). All they had were supers, which I have for my big guy, and regular mealworms. The Supers are to big for her but I had to get...
I was at a garage sale today and they guy must of had a reptile at one time cause he had a 10 gallon tank and a UVB light fixture for sale. He only asked $20 for both so I bought them. The light fixture, thankfully in a box, is a R-Zilla tropical series Low profile Single Bulb Fixture. It is a...
I actually made this 2 weeks ago when I had the day off on a Monday. It took me about 2 hours, most of that was spent putting on zip-tie's. I spent $8.99 on the plastic mesh, $7 on zip-ties, and the PVC corners and "T" connections were $.33 each. The PVC pipes I already had from work. So grand...

I just got 3 tubs of hornworms from coastal silkworms so I am ready to try hornworms for my cham for the first time today and I did some searching on the forum about hornworms before I made my purchase and I came across a thread that said its a good idea to remove their horn's before feeding. Is...
I have a 7 month old Veiled male. I'm on top of all important aspects of husbandry - lights, cage, temps., water, nutrition, etc.- so when I was doing my daily watering and misting this afternoon insted of running away from my mister like he always does, he came toward it and went as far as to...
Okay so today I was cleaning out my cham's cage and before I got started I placed him on a ficus I have on my porch so he wouldn't get stressed. While I was cleaning I noticed he had something sticking out of his mouth. Upon closer inspection I figured out that the little booger ate a small...
