    Anyone tried a curio cabinet as an enclosure?

    I think the common metal rectangle cham cage is functional, but aesthetically boring, so I was trying to come up with clever ways to make a tall, well ventilated, beautifully lit enclosure that wouldn't look like complete garbage in my apartment (I am TERRIBLE at construction) when I realized...

    Alaska Advice Anyone?

    Good evening! I'm a cham enthusiast and I just moved out to Girdwood, AK. Naturally, I left all my herps at home in CO (four veileds, ball python, and a juvenile caiman) until I figured out how living out here was going to work out. Girdwood is a pretty tiny town about an hour south of...

    Mbd bad

    My male veiled cham has terrible MBD. I know this takes weeks or months to develop, but it honestly seems to have developed overnight. A few days ago he was chasing crickets all over the cage, now he can't even hold himself up or move in any direction. He lives in a 18x18x30 wire mesh cage...

    Show off your old chams!

    There are tons of threads here about baby chams, but I couldn't find any pic-heavy threads with very old ones. I've seen people claim they have panthers and veileds that were 7+ years old - let's see em!

    Moldy Eggs?

    from what i've gathered here, my veiled cham eggs should be kept at roughly 68-74 degrees and at 95%+ humidity, but when i ran a search about mold problems, most of the advice is to dry them out. can anyone clarify this for me?

    Eggs!!!

    While we've been keeping our chams almost entirely on a budget (i.e. in bird cages with poked-hole drippers, $5 Wal-Mart money trees, and lighting systems completely supplied by Lowe's) our veileds, Kraken and Keallach, which we've raised almost entirely on the collective wisdom of this forum...
