This is one of Todd Keller's babies. not great pics, but gives an idea of what a handsome boy he is. His sleeping colors are yellow and red. Still trying to get a decent pic of that. Thanks, Todd!
oh, I was taking the pics bc i was concerned about the crust on his nostril. After having...
He's been with us for 2 weeks, and he is doing great! Eats crickets and phoenix worms (my silkies all dried out ;( ). He has a room all to himself, so he is chilled out and happy.
Cute little guy from Todd Keller's collection. Had a little bit of a challenge trying to figure out how to feed him 2 week crickets. He doesnt mind being hovered over their container! Urlich (RIP) was a stubby tail, so this whole getting up on hind legs is entertaining and new for us!
Well, we tried. He looked like he was getting better this week too. We had had him to the vet several times in the past few months for eye infection, spinal injury (a result of weakening from the infection that could have gone to his spine), and pinworms.
We were force feeding him tobacco...
These were the colors he greeted me with today. never seen him red before. It is interesting that his legs and tail are still green--he hasnt regained neurological control, evidently.

Last night, I dreamed I was in a dilapidated house that had some sort of monster in it. My dog was lying still at my feet, bleeding. I reached forward and opened the door in front of me, behind which was surely hiding a terrifying beast ready to rend my limbs from my body. On the wall was all...
I've been toying with the idea of getting a tree and a lamp and seeing if I can have a go at keeping the tree to keep the worms, but there are like 15 different kinds of trees. does it matter which kind of mulberry tree?
Rotten cham wont eat the hornworms I bought him. He gobbled up the last bunch, so I got 2 cups. now he is spoiled on supers, and wont touch these guys! guess I'm going to take a crack at breeding bc they are getting way too big to try to feed off...
Got my cham a month ago. Spent a million dollars buying bee pollen, blue green algae and all sorts of greens, fruits, etc for my gutload. The dry is easy enough to store. For the wet, I drew on my experience as a young mom. i used to make my own baby food and freeze it in ice cube trays so I...
There is a very sad looking Melleri @ a pet store. I am not qualified to ask the owner for him, nor to offer advice on how to care for him. His eyes are sunken and closed--I've been in twice in the past 2 weeks. He looks skinny.
Please PM me, and I'll give you details on the store.

Urlich the Destroyer arrived Thrusday (thanks Cham Kingdom!). He's sweet, and I seem to be having all the same anxiety every other new owner has.
I havent seen him eat.
I havent seen him drink.
I'm having a hard time trying to find that fine line between freaking him out, and looking for...
Any opinion on whether I should buy my new baby panther's crickets from the pet store or online?
Do I just chuck them in the cage or should I try to get them up near the cham?
Should I use a tweezer to get a feeling for how many he eats?
Thanks!
Terri and my soon to be delivered...
