I really appreciate the comments and now I am a little confused. Sounds like the majority of you think this may NOT be a pin worm after all.
When I repotted my plant, maybe I missed something in the roots and this guy just crawled up the plant and died.
Again, Rango is showing absolutely...
Just when you think you have everything going smooth...
Rango is my male (~ 1.5 years old) Ambanja. He is absolutely the neatest pet I have ever owned and I must admit, he gets more attention than any other pet I have ever had.
I've had him for ~ 6 months and watched him shed and grow and...
Well...
GOOD LUCK to the couple and hope they become entwined.
I took my male Ambanja to breed with a gorgeous Ambilobe female and all they did was stare at each other.
This went on for a week and a half and nothing.
They put him in with her and then put her in with him...same...
I live in Tampa and have an outside enclosure for my male Ambanja. He LOVES the outdoors.
If you keep your Cham outside, watch out for the ants!
They recently found a dead cricket and swarmed inside. Luckily, I found them before they found my Cham, as I'm sure they would have munched on...
I just took a plastic washer, enlarged the hole to fit the nozzle and screwed them together, compressing the screen in between.
My nozzle comes out more in the front of the enclosure, not along the edge.
It is secure, doesn't rattle, and there is no chance of ripping the screen wire...
Welcome to the Forum.
I did some sneaking around in here as well before I exploited myself.
There are some fantastic members in here with TONS of knowledge and a great sense of humor as well.
Nice looking Cham abd gongrats on a great looking enclosure as well.
Looking forward to more...
take a small wooden dowel and line it up with the drainage holes in the planter. Run the dowels down through the soil and open up thesew holes. That should solfve the problem.
Rocks in the bottom of the planter (as poster earlier) shjould also do the trick.

My Ambanja male, Rango, (9 mos old) went to the same spot every night, curled his tail and slept like a baby.
I had my main live plant start dying and had to replace it, but Rango still goes to the general vicinity to sleep. He never misses a night there.
He's pretty darn punctual...
From your photo, it looks like the "latch" isn't latched.
If it is latched, you could relocate it to the point where the widest gap appears and re-position the catch a little farther apart (re-drilling holes required). This would put more tension on the frames and close the gap.
I built...
Just an update on Rango and his girlfriend.
I took him to the breeder last Friday...no interest between him or the female.
At least there was no aggression. Both are 9-10 months old.
Saturday...nothing
Sunday...nothing
Monday...1/2 day...nothing
Today...nothing so far.
Still no...
Welcome to the forum.
You will find a great wealth of knowledge here mixed in with a real sense of humor from time to time.
Be prepared to send photos of you Cham, as this is almost a rule here...new Cham, new photos...lol

So...Rango put on his best colors as we headed off to breed him with a beautiful Ambilobe female this morning.
As the two were introduced, she just sat there on her vine as Rango climbed from one corner to the next of the enclosure. The both constantly eyed each other from different angles...
I may get chastised for this post, but I feel compelled.
I hate to say this, but there seems to be a lot of things here that just seem to be due to improper homework and preparations for the needs of a Cham.
Maybe this can be a lesson to those that are considering getting something that...
I have 3 small dogs, but only 1 is the cricket killer. She is a Chi-Chon. This little dog will hunt them down and kills them on the spot. My other 2 little yappers could care less about them!
If you've only had 1 escape, you are doing GREAT!

Well...Rango has fooled me again today.
He had stopped eating crickets from my hand since I started giving him "super" treats. In my previous post here I was sort of upset about his mood swing.
This morning, I went in to feed him and ZAP...ZAP...ZAP...3 crickets from my hand. Just like...
