Just an updated on mine chams. Still going and myself try to find the balance with the virus they have. Trying to balance out gutloading. Finding new feeder insects and updating their cages.

Find yourself a rubber tree and get some branches. They taper nice hold up well and use zip ties to anchor them with cross branches to hang plants. As the cham gets bigger screen climbing wont work to heavy.

No, no fake plants. They have real plants just trying to grown them in. They had more but the plants died. So I just trying to get this ones that seem doing well in their terrariums to get hold.
 
Did you lose any to the virus?
Good to hear you're still hanging in there!
I lost one of my girls. But I believe was due other complications I started up in the beginning. Most challanging thing is the cleaning and disposing of their residues ( poop, molt, dried leaves etc) and not transcontaminate in between them or the feeders (maybe the feeders already have the virus?) and the environment outside. New challange is finding food that feel appetising. One picks one or two dubias, some walking stick bugs and then that is but still looking at his food station waiting for something.
 
Nice to see your guys! What kind of virus did they have?
Irinovirus. Is such a pain due it can go to insects, fish, amphibians and other reptiles. Kinda metal clean their sorroundings outside their cages after handling their needs. Too bad there is so little information about this virus and not cure of vaccines of it. I was hoping to breed them eventually and get another 1.1 to pair with on of my related 1.1. I haven been told that due to the virus I should not.
 
You said..."was hoping to breed them eventually and get another 1.1 to pair with on of my related 1.1. I haven been told that due to the virus I should not"...I don't think you should risk it either sadly.

You said..."I lost one of my girls. But I believe was due other complications"... So sorry for your loss, whatever the reason.

I wish there was more information out there.

No, It would just be passing it to other animals. But in the other hand I may be keeping mine for like 10+ more years maybe.

Yeah it was RI but changes the things that were wrong with all the others and medicate an other that have shown signs of it.
 
Eating this morning.
