Last time I posted I shared pics of Shy and his malformed casque. A full body shot followed and there was some concern that he may have MBD. Since then I have worked with him daily, sunning, feeding him a variety of food, monitoring his stress level and making sure his supplements were...
This guy is about 3 1/2 months old. In the past few weeks I noticed his casque starting to look rumpled or dry..not sure what you would call it. Can I get a lil help with this.
Thx

As I surf through the health posts I see many different issues with cham health. How does an apparently healthy cham develop all these different types of sickness? Are they born with this? I know all these things can't be a result of inconsistent cage cleanings. Enlighten me.

I have a 7 week male veiled cham who I have been putting out in the sun on in temps of 85-90 degrees, for 15-20 minutes 3x a week. I mist him and he turns a beautiful bright green. I am curious about the length of time baby's can be outside to bask? I live in VA.
THX all,

Hello all!
At what age can you tell the sex of a cham?? And how difficult is it to raise a cham that is 4-6 weeks old? What would I have to be cautious of the most? Do you recommend working with baby veileds?
Thanks,

Just curious, who would you guys recommend to purchase a cham from? I see alot of stores on line but I am leary about getting a sick cham. How do they ship this little guys? I heard it was Fed Ex, but how do they package them so they are safe for the ride?

Saturday night she was in her sandbox digging her hole for her 2nd clutch. I checked her every couple hours. Sometime during the night her tunnel collapsed and suffocated her.
I never knew I could get so emotionally attached to a reptile.

Finally Ms. Creecher has completed her egg laying process. She layed 72 eggs on Sunday with no box activity for the last 48 hrs. She is very hungry and has loose skin from being gravid.

Ms. Creecher has started digging in her sandbox. She has been in there all morning. What should I expect next? I don't see any eggs yet. Can she have a "false" pregnancy? She is aprox. 8months old.:cool:
Thank you in advance.

Is it true that UVB rays from the sun do not go through windows or screen mesh? Chams do not get anything from the sun unless it is completely unfiltered by glass or screen? I'm having a hard time understanding this concept.

In anticipation of Creecher's new cage, I have been pondering inexpensive ways to decorate. All of you guys have been a great help in understanding the needs of my lil reptile friend. So thank you for this. I did buy a schefflera today at Home Depot (my church) and rinsed and re potted in...
