    Need to get this straight.

    Glass doesn't seem worth it to me unless you literally live in a desert or a frozen waste land. I live in an extremely dry and cold state and glass never did me any good but give me a ton of extra mess to clean up and extra stress on the cham. A tank big enough for a month old cham cost about...

    baby veil cham

    large fruit flies are great, you kinda need a special feeding tank for the winged ones though, but its a hollering hootenanny watching the youngens chase down little bugs. Exoterra terrariums can be good for using a variety of small feeders. Fruit flies and crickets were the staple of my chams...

    Need to get this straight.

    bad bad bad bad bad, no glass tanks! misting a lot in a tank that small is sure to grow some funky stuff that could get your buddy sick. Just say no... People that use this much water have a drainage system set up to allow for it, and soil for their plants is designed to handle it without...

    Greens and veggies for veiled or Jax?

    Veileds are commonly known to chomp down things that don't move and smell good. Although, my 5m old jackson is horribly offended by greens that aren't attached to plants. She puffs up and gets territorial every time i offer anything like that. She does really enjoy pineapple filled crickets...

    using v8juice(s) as a supplement, soaking carrots over here...

    well, it occurred to me today, why not give the little feeders a carrot. So then i had another thought... What if I soaked that carrot with some v8 juice! So by golly i pulled out my double barreled pipette and got a sample of the freshly shaken v8 fruit fusion of absolutely delicious fruits...

    Veiled Cham color

    same here, I left with a 10 gallon fish tank and nearly a 100$ worth of other crap. This forum is a great place to learn before wasting more money. How is your buddies appetite? and are you using a substrate on the ground?

    Why is my male at the bottom of his cage?

    Veiled chams like to eat plants, and that plant you have is a golden pothos. If you have changed their diet recently he may have eaten some of its oddly colored leaves by mistake or on purpose. Usually on purpose. I am only assuming that this is what calcium oxalates would actually do to a...

    veiled shedding odd

    what exactly are the temperatures and humidity within 3" of the cham? Is your buddy constantly on the move around the cage not in search of food or water? The only things with shedding and weird colored pigments to worry about is early signs of injury or infection, and limb death from...

    Adding to the ammount of uv and heat will promote digestion and therefore more activity. No more than 90℉basking. What are you using for light? If adoesn't help then call a local herp or vet

    thank you

    To everyone that helped me learn about the care and proper treatment of chams, we would like to say thank you. Like really, you helped me keep my little buddy alive through a crazy flood. Though I am uncertain that he is even a boy at this point... Harold is really doing well, showing...

    Overspray

    Ventilated shelving from teh hardware is perfect when covered weith a piece of screen. 5 gallon buckets fit directly below them and allow for easy cleaning. I actually use a piece of poly that has a down sloped v shape taped to the bottom of the shelf with the bucket sits at the end. I am...

    Overspray

    Polyethylene sheeting works wonders, camouflaging the tape is tough. Double sided tape is good for this. You would want something at least 6-12mil to not have that trashbag look.

    Need bulbs for plants

    6500k for vegetative growth (daylight bulb) 6000k or less is best fir flowering. The 12on12off light schedule will cause your plants to flower. Plants can only flower for so long without aditional nutrients.... An organic fertilizer will work, but keep in mind that if allowed your feeders could...
