    Alright, I am STUMPED/worried/confused by this baby veiled...

    Can some vet breeders or veileds please help me out here. I have this one baby Cham who was born last (14 days after the first one was born) and ever since he remains TINY, he has only grown a tiny tiny bit since he was born. Now I am confused by this. He does not have to compete for food...

    ATTN: Owners of Dubia Roach hating [and loving] Chams...

    This may sound really weird AND may also be a coincidence...but hear me out anyway and let us all know if you've had similar experiences. My male veiled when first introduced to dubias HATED them. He went after one but when he got it he started waving around acting like he was disgusted...

    Question about veiled baby coloring

    I find that my female veiled babies get stripes and patterns as they are walking around stalking prey or at various other times but my males pretty much stay their baby green. The females are all smaller than the males except for one super beefy female that is just as big as the males are...

    Worried about Veiled babies... black spots?

    A few of my babies have little black spots on them, mostly on their heads, looks like some of their scales (scales?) have turned black. I'm wondering if this could be little scabs (see picture) from rubbing their heads on branches when they shed recently? Could my branches be too rough? Or is...

    How many pinheads will a baby cham eat per day?

    Hi, I have 8 veilds that I need to get pinheads for but I'm not sure how many each Cham should eat per day. They are one month old. Last time I got them a few weeks ago they wanted nothing to do with them so they've still been on fruit flies. I think they are ready to switch since I'm going...

    What should the humidity be in a container of veiled eggs?

    I have eggs in vermiculite that I squeezed out until there was no water dripping out. I'm curious as to what the humidity should be for them though inside the Tupperware containers? That way I'll know when I should add a little more water in the vermiculite. Also when you add water, do you...

    Just finished digging up 68 veiled eggs!!

    After so much worrying and waiting (37 days) my veiled has finally laid her eggs! I carefully dug them up and there are 68 of them, one looks like a little white raisin though, so I'm thinking that one is no good. The rest look great and how neat it was to dig them all up and place them in...

    Caring for veiled eggs in a hot environment..

    Okay so I understand incubating eggs in an incubator and the closet method..but what about when it's in the 100s outside? Right now it's now very hot outside but inside I'm above 80. I stuck a thermometer in the bottom of my closet and I'm at 78..too hot for veiled eggs. What do you guys do...

    My female is carrying eggs and is HUGE right now. She hasn't went to the bottom of the cage at all but by my calculations she should do so any day as of the 19th.

    How do you make sure your Cham doesn't escape from his free range?

I'd like to consider free range eventually but it worries me... Do you guys cage them when you aren't watching and then...

    Has anyone used Hoya plants in their enclosures?

    I know they are on the same list and they look pretty cool..I saw the ones that have the leaves curled "rope" hoya and though maybe the shape of the leaves will allow for water to drip on and stay in the pockets thus helping with humidity :) I'm trying to find out if they do well in the...
