Its hard to fit 13lbs of tegu on a 12x12 heating pad. But it is possible.

I remember my first beer... Anyway Op has has a food hunger strike. This is why we recommend not feeding "just" crickets or "just" mealworms, etc. If she is an adult or close to it, you should not be feeding a girl every day. Id switch here to twice a week, 3 times at most(you could do...

2 more months to go. Poor guy is starting to get wrinkly and there is not much fat left on the tail. Even the fatty jowls are starting to look a bit deflated.

i just lightly mist and let dry, repeat. It turns to paper and flakes away. If its stuck, i just leave it unless its in a dangerous place like toes were it could cause blood flow issues.

Reminds me of this painter who got commissioned to paint all the utility boxes. And had semi amount of "freedom" to paint "local wildlife".

I think it would be funnier if you had to have the cham next to the painter for reference.

He brumates behind a 6ft piece of plywood. He decided to stick his head out for a while before going back in. But unfortunately i only have about a 66% chance of him brumating till spring. Some times he pulls a beardy and only brumates 3 months. Then im stuck with a shedding tegu in 25%...

Yes, yes it is. You might be better off with Ethyl alcohol(ethanol) wipes or sprays. Ideally you find a place that sells Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. But once mealy, normally its scorched earth and throw away the plants...

I had a all white maline cage. Mr cham would poop. Goldfish.exe. Then the next day shoot tongue at it thinking its a feeder...

Yea it might be confusing for the cham, since our reptile bulbs use a single uvb phosphor that is tuned for the bone growth section of the spectrum that is deep tissue. The cham might get confused if they are only tuned to seek out the higher uv spectrum that affects mostly just the surface of...

With the beam thing, im talking like a very narrow throw led flash light, that puts out uvi 15 at 5-8" from the screen, it doesnt disperse much, and puts out little to no heat. In your case yes the working area is the same, but the cham toes is getting very close to a several watt per inch...

Honestly at this point im not sure what we are discussing :) If we wanted to mimic perfect chameleon land, we would end up with chams eating the least nutritious flying bugs and 95% of them dying off after six months during the dry season. And if that doesnt take them out, yemen has plenty of...

Bathtub scale. If it doesnt break in 100 hours, its high odds its not going to break in 2000 hours. And after 100 hours, its UVI is going to be settled and be reliable for 2000 hours. Hell back in the day when we had plasma tvs' we would put them on white eye bleed mode for 100 hours just to...

Cries in 90's vita-lites that put out .2 UVI and that was considered high.

Also chams generally only sun bath for 10-20min in the early morning and evening. And guess what those numbers are :P

So evidently this genius decided to come out during the two warm days here. And some other genius picked him up and brought him to me "because the rear legs dont work"(they work fine once you bring him in the house for a few hours vs 40 degee day). I cant really put him back since there ant no...

i empty the cup/bowl/tuppaware back into the bin before bed. feeders could be dead, or eat each other overnight, or the chirping starts... If your little one eats one bad dead cricket he may puke it up, it may sour his taste for them and start a feeder strike.

You can raise perfect good feeders on the worst chow possible. You just have to clear the gut and then load up on the non corn/soy/brewers yeast a week before their untimely (or timed?) demise. A bug raised on crap is going to be just a nutritious as one raise on fresh organic bla bla, if both...

I do not know if the kelp meal, spirulina algae would or would not cause it. That would be "food" and not a chemical vitamin. Im not good with food based supplements like bee pollen to say you can over do it. Kelp meal is a rich and dependable source of 60 minerals and elements including...
