update on a few of my guys

[lysinlight87]

My oustalets, Riker and Bluebell. As far as I'm aware, they're brother and sister. Riker is 550g & Bluebell is 160g!

Alfie and Boo

Boo, Alfie and my bearded pygmy when he amazed me by escaping (how he escaped is still something of a mystery)

Very pretty kids! That oustaleti looks awesome!

Thank you! Riker sustained a burn a few months ago, which was my fault but he has doubled in size since it occurred & the area is healing very nicely. Him & Bluebell eat me out of house & home! I held Riker today to wipe some stuck shed off him & he left some impressive puncture wounds on my arm, he is a gentle giant though. It's hard to believe Bluebell is even the same species, let alone his sister.

Is there a verrucosus in there?

 

[lysinlight87]

Na, there's 2 oastalets, 2 panthers, my yemen, a carpet & pygmy.

Awesome collection! Love the oustalets, I have only seen one in captivity in Canada in 5 years of keeping reptiles, very interesting species.

You've got quite the collection. I didn't realize you had so many chams. Everyone's looking great. Riker sure is allot bigger than Bluebell. Needle and Charlie are both beautiful and so is Alfie, Boo and your little Pygmy.

thank you I weighed Bluebell yesterday and she's nearly 200g now. The reptile shop weren't feeding her very often and she was only getting locusts. I've been giving her more of a mix so she's doing some growing now.

It's a shame I can't confirm if my oustalets are related or not, as I'd love to breed them. They came in as a pair so likely came from the clutch. I'll have find Bluebell a boyfriend.

Your carpet is stunning. What are they like to look after?

thanks . They're pretty easy, they only need a small set-up. Boo is full-grown and only 20g. He's in pretty much the same set up as my other chams but smaller, same supplement schedule too. He likes his basking spot hot (90-92F). He eats medium-standard crickets and small silkworms, occasionally small locusts and curly wing flies. he won't eat if I offer food everyday. He was very feisty but he's calmed down in the past month. I don't handle him very often though, he prefers to sit in his viv and look pretty lol

He's stunning and I've wanted one since I first thought about getting one. I had an elliots but he got poorly and didn't make it but I have 2 veileds. What's their humidity like?

 

[lysinlight87]

he likes it fairly humid but I'll admit I don't have a hygometer in there at the moment. He is misted for 90 seconds 4 times daily.
