The odd blinking, rubbing eyes on things, keeping one eye closed is because your chams eye is irritated by something. Could be first signs of an eye infection, something could be in the eye, or to much direct sunlight, to strong of a MV bulb or having it to close. Seeing how your cham just...

Watts has nothing to do with the age of your cham. or anything at all. The temps in your cage are about 5 degrees cooler than mine but nothing to worry about. What other type of lighting are you using?

Use the box idea i just posted above, its only a 3 hour drive your cham will do just fine in a box for 3 hours just make sure he is getting enough air flow. sorry for the double post as your posted while i was posting

Well if you are leaving at night time you can put him in a cardboard box with lots of holes in it and something for him to hold on to or run a few vines through the box so he has some thing to stand on. Also put a towel in the bottom of the box. Use a small box when doing this so if your cham...

If you are short on money get some roaches, worms and or crickets and start breeding them before you get your cham. so that way you dont have to buy food it saves me about 40 bucks a month on food for my 5 chams. If you dont have a few hundred bucks to give to a vet at all times dont get a...

Home depot sells gutters for 5 bucks and a 5 gallon bucket for 3 bucks have your cage tilt to the back and have it drain into the gutter the have it run into the bucket. its what i did and you can make a stand with pine 2x4s they are 2 bucks each and u will only need three, so a stand and...

First timer i would get a hold back that is about 8-12 months maybe younger

Yes a 4 foot fall could hurt him depending on how he lands but the thing is you would have to have some thick padding to break a fall and you cant have that in a cham cage. I have only had one of my chams fall that i know of and it was because a branch broke as he was on a large ficus plant. He...

All of your chams at one point will shed and there will be just a little bit of dead skin that takes a day or two longer such as the feet and toes or the tail might shed a little bit after the body. Its normal dont worry about it!!! The skin will come off naturally do not try and pull it off...

i dont use anything at the bottom of my cages. Nothing but plants and vines in the cages. Its really unlikely that your cham will fall

anole and or a pinky once a month is a good idea just dont try and feed it something way to big. Some people freak out that you would feed it a mouse or a smaller lizard because it is cruel.........those are the people that never enjoy the outdoors.

yes cover up the dirt but what ever you use make sure that is be enough that they cant swallow what ever you use

Zoo Med's Power Sun bulbs are what I use as does a local breeder. I use 160w on 24x24x48 for 8 month and older chams 100w on 18x18x36 for smaller chams from 4-8 month olds. The mistake that most people make with these are use them on glass cages making it a small oven or use an aluminum mesh...

I wouldnt use that big of a cage for a 4 month old cham. A 18x18x36 or 16x16x30 would be about the size you need and you can pick them up around 40-50 bucks depending on where you go. I keep my adult chams in a 24x24x48 As for the shower I would use something that size on a year old cham or...

Looks like a blister from a mild burn from that light to me. I would have a vet look at it because it may become infected. I would get an all screen cage with a MV light so you can hang it outside of the cage only down fall it will be about 120 bucks for a large screen cage and light set up if...

Misting is fine in any size cage as long as you dont spray your cham directly or if you have a Mistking or other automated misting system just make sure there are a couple of spots in the cage where they can get away from the mist. Most important check your chams urate to see if its white this...

I wouldnt worry about his weight his fat pads look a little small to me but nothing to worry about but it could just be the pictures and if you are feeding him nothing but worms he will put on some weight because they are higher in fat vs crickets. Try feeding him small amounts of crickets...

try taking a hand mister and put it up to your finger and spray it so it runs down your finger tip and your cham should come up and drink off of your finger. All 5 of my chams do it, its a good way to make sure your cham gets enough water every day besides automated misting systems.
