A couple of nights ago I was tucking my son into bed, and checking on his brevs at the same time. One of them looked a little unusual...pale, with some dark striping around his eyes (not his normal coloring). I gently tapped on the glass, with no response. Usually Dot will wake up a little...

One of my brev tanks is becoming a jungle! The creeping fig is WAY out of control; I don't know how much UVB the chams can be getting! Of course, the necessity for UVB for brevs is unknown, but I bought the lamp....so they better use it! :p Seriously, getting them out to do some maintenance...

We went on a trip for spring break, and I hired a pet sitter for everyone except the dog (who went to the vet's). Everybody looked great, happy, maybe too fat when we got back. Except.....the crickets! I had a very large storage tub with them in it (there were maybe 1000), with plates of...

A few weeks ago I ordered some small silkies for my brevs...and as you could have guessed, they very quickly grew too big for the brevs to eat! The frogs and gecko enjoyed them too, but now they're too big for everything except the White's tree frog. So I took some of the silkworms to the...

I have noticed little bugs in my brev tank, very small, round, I think with six legs. I see them a LOT when I mist the tank, mostly on the bottom of the tank in the moss, sometimes on the branches, sometimes on the chams :eek: ! They don't seem to be living on the chams, just walking around...

Well, yesterday my son noticed the two male brevs gaping at each other and looking puffed up. A few minutes later, he caught one of the males (Dot) and Yolanda possibly mating. So this morning, we adapted the tank that formerly held his MIA grey tree frog (he left the lid propped...several...

One of my male brevs, Dot, has been rubbing his eyes on leaves, sticks, bark, whatever. This morning, I would swear it was his right eye he was rubbing; but just now it was his left eye. I had just misted them, and he actually climbed up to the nozzle of the mister. Of course he did the gross...

Having followed some of the recent threads, I'm worried that my 3 month old brevs have been getting too much Vitamin D3. I have repcal with D3 (no phosphorus), and I've been dusting the crickets most of the feedings. About once a week i also dust with Herptivite. Do I need to back off....are...

I changed out the enclosure for my three little brevs. They're about three months old now; the female is 1 3/4", the males are both 1 1/2" long. I had them in a critter keeper, but three days ago I cleaned out my daughter's 2 1/2g guppy tank (a little bowfront) and switched them into it. A...

OK, here are some pics of our babies. Mike sent me two females and a male...I think...."Stripe" is by himself, then "Dot" and "Yolanda" (OK, I didn't name them!), then all three together. Educated opinions?

I got three brevs from Mike at FlChams on 9/6. They hatched July 28 (or thereabouts), so they're almost three months. I've had them in the smallest Critter Keeper, with a twig and a small-but-bushy creeping fig (white paper towels on the bottom). We feed them crix daily, dusted w/calcium and...

My baby brevs are eating fine, but the crix I have (hopefully smaller ones will arrive tomorrow) are pretty big, comparatively. I bought some extra-small pheonix worms, and even put them in a black jar lid, so they'd be more noticable; but the chams don't seem to want them. I check back an...

OK, so after we recovered from the brev/egg incident, I finally decided to go with another brev. Talked to Mike at FLChams, and decided to get three. My son Drew's birthday is Tuesday (he bought the original brev), so I'm trying to hide them until Sunday, when we have our family party. They...

I'm feeling pretty bummed about losing my female pygmy, then the egg/hatchling....but I still really like that species! We really don't have room for one of the "starter" chams, which is one reason I let my son buy the brevicaudata. I did a lot of research before we brought her home, and I...

Checking on the egg a few minutes ago, it is showing considerable shrinkage and there are a couple of hairline cracks on one end! What now???!!!! My kids are freaked about leaving it in the incubation container too long. We need to put it in a small container, right? How small? There is a...

OK, so my possibly-fertile brevicaudata egg has been incubating about 65 days now. Several weeks ago it developed "stretch marks", and one of them was a little wider than the others. I noticed a little matter coming out of it, but it became hard and didn't get bigger. I assumed this was a bit...

Checking on my egg yesterday, which is about two weeks from hatching if it's fertile, I noticed some "stretch marks" in the shell. One of the marks is wide enough that I can see a bit of membrane through it, but most are little lines. Thinking maybe this was a sign of overhydration, I opened...

I'm sure some people read my story on ks..but here's a synopsis: the "male" brevicaudata I'd had less than a week laid an egg. Showed no signs of laying another after four days, so I moved her to a drier tank (the one she was in was being misted a bit too much). She ate fine, drank, seemed...
