Also the lady I got the silkworms from got some hornworms today so I picked some up from her. They are super tiny right now but she said they grow really fast. Would either of these be a good staple diet?

Here's a picture of his cage setup, and a picture of him sleeping:) By the way he loves the silkworms, when I got home I put one on my finger in front of him and he actually shot his tongue about 5" to try and get it... he missed:(, but at least I know he can still shoot his tongue:rolleyes:

Thanks Panthercham, Where abouts in LA? I've gotta go for tonite, but I'll check up tomorrow Scott

Especially if you are in San Diego and have a good cham vet to recommend!! Thanks Scott

I will check up on this thread tomorrow when I get to work, and I hope I can get ahold of that vet to see if he has any cham experience. If anybody has anything else to add(even the ones that feel like they are being yelled at pssh) feel free to post it, any input is greatly appreciated :D Scott

Thanks everybody that posted anything in this thread, you guys are great about answering really fast in the health clinic forum! :) Scott

Thanks kinyonga

panthercham, thats where I got the info on that guy, I notice you're in San Diego too, where do you take your chams?

Thanks Pssh for your input I understood what you were trying to say, I know that everybody has different opinions on what is the best thing to do, and sometimes things get a little heated, but in the end the Vet is the one I'm going to listen to. Also thanks for the optimism I hope he's OK...

He just isn't interested in the crickets, I keep about 10crickets in the cage with him all the time and change them out every couple days to keep them properly gutloaded, but he won't even get them even if they are right in front of him on the cage. I have been giving him showers to try to...

Thanks Baggedd for posting the pics :)

Kinyonga, thank you for the info I plan on taking him to the vet. I am just wondering if, in the short time I have had him, he has been recuperating at all and if I would be able to see any changes in his most apparent problem, his tongue issues. Thanks Scott

I have only seen him shoot his tongue a total of three times that was the second day I had him, and he missed all three times, I'm just wondering if when he recovers from the MBD (if that is the cause) will he have normal use of his tongue (ability to shoot it)?

The old light was also a reptisun 5.0, but I replaced it when I got him because I wasn't sure how old it was. Should I still dust if I'm feeding him silkworms, they have a much higher calcium to phos ratio? Thanks Scott
