Thanks Jan! That's my goal. They are amazing creatures and I am enjoying every day as I learn more about them.

Thanks to all the good advice I relaxed a bit and Lena (now that it is determined it is a girl) started sheding today (Sunday). She still ha some on each leg, her tail and her head left to shed but it all looks loose. Now I am wondering how long is too long? Can the Chams get stuck sheds like the snakes?

She is crawling around more in the plant leaves today like she is rubbing it off. She ate well this morning before the shed started. Do feeding habits change at all during shed?

Lena is almost done shedding now........there were very few bits and pieces left on her this morning. She seemed extremely grumpy while shedding. Is thar=t normal or is the start of her attitude as she matures? I may be a bit off on her age....I had thought she was about 5mos. old but at 32grams is she closer to 4 mos old?
