Hello All!

A hearty hello from Orange County! Here is my young,and new to me Veiled Cham Tobias; Who hates me

Here is Tobias's house (which I have discovered is probably too big for such a li' guy.

He likes to hang out on the Ficus and under the Coffee Tree.

Did I mention he hates me?

* I've gotten a new hood light since this photo


I'm not sure of the age of little Tobias, he has grown a bit since I got him 2 weeks ago.

Quite a few of us in the UK have friendly Veileds - I have been lucky enough to own 3 of them!

I get so upset when I scare him! I'm trying to be able to hand feed him, however every attempt has been futile.

If you have only just got him, it will take him a while to settle in to both his new viv, new people and new surroundings where his viv is situated. You need to be patient and sit with your hand out for quite some time that it gives you arm ache, lol! I would leave him be for a couple of weeks and just do the essential feeding and watering for him for now. You could try offering silkworms as many chams find these irresistible! My dear old Tommy would never eat anything other than locusts and the occasional waxworm, until I tried him with silkworms!

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

Do you think his cage is too big? Ive come home and he has been on the trees, however, I'm afraid he wont be able to find his cricket friends who tend to stay towards the bottom of the cage.. I placed some crickets on a vine in front of him and he went to them quite fast; as if he were very hungry! Little did he know, he had about 4 scrumptious friends of the bottom of his cage.

welcome to the forums! What are you using for lighting now? You should have two bulbs, a uva and a uvb. There are bulbs that give off both though. Just make sure you have both.
