He may be tired/week from 3 days of nothing but carrots.... Id try to plan your purchase of feeders a bit better so you don't have any gaps in his in diet.
I know ive read someplace, "watch for UV overexposure" however I cant seem to find it anyplace now for a reference. I do recall trying to search online after reading it what EXACTLY I should watch for but was never able to find any explanation....

Mike,
Your getting some great advise regarding temps and thermometers... take it ;)
I was wondering however, after looking at your photos... do you have a UV light as well? I didn't see one in your pics. If you dont have one you will want to get one, the reptisun 5.0 is great.

We have used bottled water and tap water with no ill effects... I have always been told not to use distilled water for reptiles. It lacks valuable minerals essential for proper nutrition in reptiles, its essentially water with nothing in it.
Maybe a more experienced cham owner or one of the...
Brad,
Great pics and the blog is great! How are you 'serving' him his greens? I was thinking about getting a veggie clip and putting it in our veiled cage and letting him bite/rip off pieces. Do you cut kittys up into bite sized pieces or does he rip pieces off a larger leaf?
Thanks,
Beth
I cant say weather or not chams dream, but if I had to put my money on it I most likely say he was probably in an uncomfortable position and moving accordingly.
Our veiled cham Chris, is quite the sound sleeper - he heads off to his "sleep spot" and is exactly in the same place/position in...
I would have to agree with Will. Having owned several snakes over the years (redtailed boa, ball python, corn, garter) I would have to say the best choice for someone getting into snakes is the corn snake. :cool:
They are rather docile and easy to care for, and while there is of course some...
Jordan-
I like the look of that piece and think it would be a great idea, cant wait to see how it turns out. I have been looking around at our local antique & 2nd hand shops for a nice workable piece of furniture for our veiled... haven't found quite what I'm looking for yet.
Update us on...
ESU makes a "Fresh Air Habitat" 12x16x20 all screen except bottom is plastic. Has been good for our little guy, although we will be making him a new "grownup cage" soon. I got the esu one at my local pet shop, but have seen them on ebay as well.

Aside from our Veiled, we also have 2 corn snakes in the house... Thought id share a few photos. (Click the images for larger views)
Any other corn snake owners here?

Just wanted to stop and say hello. Ive been reading here for months getting all the info needed for the Veiled we got my son for xmas. Ive had a cham in the past many many years ago - and wish I had so much info back then, amazing thing the Internet! Anyway thanks to all of you that I have...
I have a plant store in the complex where I work, I went over during lunch with my list of plants to see what they had that might be suitable for my cham enclosure.
While they didn't have any of the Dracaena listed on the "plants page" they do have Dracaena 'Janet Craig' anyone here think...
