I just received my new baby sambava from the kammers
This is my first cham and he seems to be doing well, He drank alot the very first time the mister went off (about an hr after putting him in the cage) and has been eating VERY well. From what I understand he should be eating 10-12 1/4 size crix per day, which is what I have been offering him. However, he hunts them down and eats every last one in about 20m. Should I be offering him more or is he just a lil pig? lol.
My only other concern is that I cant seem to keep the humidity up in his cage(usually about 30%), which wont be a concern once summer comes, just concerning during these drier months. He has a 16"x16"x36" DIY screen cage. I have an aquazamp rain dome that is set to go off every 2hrs for 1min each time between 8a-8p, the cage is thoroughly dry by the time the next misting occurs and dry before bed. I also have a humidifier near by and he does drink when the mister goes off and he seems to be quite active, exploring his new home thoroughly and doesnt even seem to be too bothered to be handled. A little hesitant at first when picking him up but seems to be fairly comfortable once he grabs on and climbs up.
Im just a nervous new mommy and want everything to be just right for him. I have spent alot of time researching and alot of money trying to give him the best care I can. Im just wondering if anybody has any other advice.
