If they can't afford cages, they can't afford proper husbandry. :o I mean this in the kindest way with no disrespect. :)

I always find threads like this interesting. We say we want to create husbandry for the sake of the the animal but we really create it for the sake of business success. I've asked many such questions on various different forums not neccesarily all cham related. It seems if the question gets...

Hi New, Glad you found this rewarding HOBBY. I can't speak from a breeders standpoint, though as I type I have about 60 veiled eggs hatching. I can see their little heads. I've kept veilds for about 9 yrs now and finally have a home with space enough for a small scale - 2.2 veilds with enough...

I use ghanns also and always have good product. If you get in a pinch for crix though try a local fishing supply store they sell fullgrowns much cheaper than the petstores. They put the crix in large enclosures but only feed them by the potatos that come in the shipping box. They'll need a good...

need a ready to breed mate for a beautiful, huge male veiled that I've had for some time. He's older and I don't want to risk loosing his bloodline by purchasing a baby girl then waiting 6 months for her to be ready. Got a great enclosure ready to go. Just need the lady. Thanks, Scaley

Still have her? I'm interested. Did she come from the Fl chams bloodline?

Can you freeze already prepared chow? I had some left over after my last silkies and don't want to throw it away before my next egg hatch.

Iv'e aquired some new residents in my four cham enclosures (whiteflies). I did a search and only saw one thread which didn't really help. I was hoping that someone may have something to share regarding killing these little pests without a major enclosure upheaval. I know I could take the plants...

Chill try this it works great. I found the agar agar at Whole Foods. Any healthy style food store should carry this. I used fruit juice instead of water. In fact the fruit juice I used also came from the health food store. It is a green food fruit juice so its super nutrient rich. The agar agar...

Why wouldn't it be legal? They are a ferule species.

Smell is so subjective. Some people like the smell of a skunk. I personally hate the smell of stargazer lillies. I have silkies and actually like the smell of the colony. The chow smells alot like some of the green food powders that you can buy from a health food store. Anyway, comparing the...

Commonly called excelsior. It can be found at craft stores. They keep it in the artificial plant section at the craft store near me.

Sorry if I missed something. Are you putting a thousand in a 10 gal tank? That maybe a bit overcrowded and pushing the livability to the edge where smaal changes in humidity and temps could have dramatic effects. Just a thought. I used to have dieoffs alot like this when I used smaller...

Jus touch em. If your feeding a good gutload they're probably cleaner and healthier than you are. :)

Never saw an auto feeder but I used to take a transluscent cricket keeper used for fishing and stock it with crix before going away on short vacations. I could put about 50 -75 crix in and I had watering crystals and dry gutload for them. I would put a little roof over their heads to keep out...

This is a suggestion for watering devices that I found on an exotic vets website. I'm sure this would also be effective for cage furnture. A link to the site is here it has some great cham info there as well. Wish this clinic was close to me...

Does anyone have any ideas. With the vast knowledge here surely someone has some input.:confused:

I am in the process of mixing up the Lopez gutload recipe and cannot locally obtain monkey chow. I also only need a small amount not a huge bag. I was looking at some of the bird hand rearing recipes and wanted some input. A plus is that animal fat isn't used for birds. The Zupreem ingredients...

Thanks o much for the info all.:)

for those of you who use one. Will it show you the same temp of a metered location as a standard thermom with a probe at that same location? I was thinking about getting one so that I don't have to probe 4 enclosures. Also Dave Weldon I noticed you measured skin temp. Should the skin be at the...
