Good morning Bubble ( thanks for the HEART ATTACK ! )

ok, so this is Bubble ( from Laurie :) ), one of the cutest chams here - she came to me because she is very healthy, but also seems to have some sort of neurological disorder, almost appears to be narcolepsy, when she gets excited ( or at times for no reason? ) she kinda passes out , and slides down her vine - this morning I found her on her BACK, legs all tucked in, sound asleep - but :eek: I thought she was dead ! I am getting used to finding her in all kinds of weird sleeping positions, but never like this before - when I checked her before I went to bed, she was sleeping like a normal cham on a vine - I keep her in an eox terra, with many live vine plants - and fully planted bottom, at times she just drops like a rock, so I wanted a soft landing for her - if she should happen to go all the way to the bottom, I collect her, and place her back in a little "nest" I have made for her out of her plants, she wakes up, gives me the stink eye- and goes on her way :p she is so cute I just thought I would share her- cant keep all this cute to myself :D I just love this little girl , other than her " issue" she is perfectly fine, and seem to be out growing what ever this is - I see it less and less :)

* lol- the last pic is her hint its feeding time

That would've scared the heck out of me, lol. She's a very pretty girl. I think it was an excellent idea to put her in a full planted enclosure, so she's have a soft landing pad. Thank you for sharing her pics and her story. :)
 
I just knew you would love Bubble. She is the only one of my breeding group I could part with. Both my girls are also characters. The boy's are mostly just blah.
 
She is absolutely adorable! I just love the spots on her sides, how stylish! :D

Sounds like her little handicap is more entertaining than scary as long as you take the proper precautions!
 
What a cutey! :p


I always wanted to do a fully planted bottom but I don't even know where to start. Could you post some pics of yours?

sure :D here is her cage, it is pretty much moss on the bottom - it is very springy, and soft - I also have vine, dandelions & clover - I use a plant light about 2 to 3 X a week on it, and mist it daily , I keep her big vine in ( no laughing at me - lol ) a buried coconut shell - it needed more water, but I did not want a plastic pot just stuck in there- and the coconut shell was natural , the whole thing smells SOOOOO good- like the rain forest ( I have been there- and it has such a clean, earthy smell - yummy :p ) so I kinda go be not only how it looks, but also how it smells - the moss is really bright green, I do not know why it looks so dark in the pics ? - she seems to really love to hang out in the moss - in the front I put slits in it here and there for her isopods to come out ( and get picked off- she likes those too ) now, these are new to me somewhat - so if I am doing something wrong with it - any one, please feel free to correct me - I want her to be happy and healthy :)
this other pic is of the L. Williamsi - in the back left, I took bark and made a "cliff " - its pretty neat, when Bubble stops all her silly falling , I want to add one to hers as well, as she seems to love the moss, and may enjoy a mossy overlook - this moss grows on EVERY THING around here, and when I collect it, it rolls right up like carpet - and it smells so nice and clean - so far, I have had no issues with it dieing , or molding or smelling bad - and it really helps the humidity stay even , I also cup feed her roaches, so this is on a 3 legged tall votive holder so she can easily reach from her perch, to her food :)

I do send you good stuff don't I? I told you both the williamsi and bubble( I at least get credit for naming her).

Maybe since you love Bubble I should send my other 4 carpets.:rolleyes: But then it might be hard for ME to breed them. Enjoy my children.
