Rescued 6 week old Cham not doing well HELP

[crosscutts]

If you are a DIY'er, the @crosscutts fogger is amazingly the best and its easy to make. I've been a Cham owner for a bit over 2 years. I've purchased 3 foggers. 2 stopped working and I dropped one and it broke into pieces. I made the crosscutts fogger and I'm more than pleased. I have now incorporated my mist hose into the fogger water tank. So I have 1 water source for 2 purposes. The pic above is actually the diy fogger at work. Veiled Chams don't require a ton of fog. I mist twice daily and fog 2 times a week. FYI - I used a wood burner to make holes for the diy fogger.

Thank you so much for your kind words . My goal is always been to help our community, and comments like that are the reason that I do what I do so glad it works well for you.!

Hi so the supplement is Flukers repta boost the red box that is high amp boost + appetite supplement. I was recommended this by another exotic animal owner who has many reptiles of their own.

As for the substrate I can most definitely move it out however he falls often and he does have various thickness. He has two pothos plants at the bottom that I’ve weaved the longer vines through out the terrarium, he has two
Separate Terro jungle vines through out the terrarium as well and also a fake plant that is thin enough for his hands to wrap around. The problem is when he’s walking he has his eye closed and doesn’t hold on tight enough. And I’ve witnessed him fall from just moving through the terrarium.

The only time he is handled is when I’m feeding him or trying to give him the supplement and for these pictures I uploaded of course as I needed a close up. Other than that he is left completely alone.

The UBV I’m using is the correct one it’s the one I was told to get in the first replied comment to this thread the Repti Sun 5.0 T5 uvb lamp.

Get rid of the fake plant! Too many sharp edges and if he took a bite of it would impact and kill him. Skewers are about the right thickness for the babies. As he gets bigger you can change them out to chop sticks. Just make sure no sharp ends.
