Ok thank you. You think he has limited space in his cage? It's a 24x24x48. I was told as a juvenile that they need more space to hide so that's why he has so many plants and vines. Luckily I am home during the week all day so I get to observe him a lot. I'm constantly on the couch where he can...
I wouldn't say seriously worried, only because of his healthy urate and bright coloring. I'm one of those people that probably over analyzes too much and always worry about my animals being happy. But here is his info...
Humidity stays constantly between 60-80. He has one large live plant and...
Mine certainly is not shy about pooping! Haha. He gets right in the front of his cage for all to see. I also noticed after posting this that he had his mouth open while on his basking spot. I know they can do this to cool down, but he did at a lower cooler point of his cage as well. Again that...
Ok thank you. I just wanted to make sure he wasn't trying to give me a sign that he is dehydrated. His urate is pure white, but I only see him drink every so often. When I go to mist his cage he actually doesn't hide, he comes out and watches the water as if he wants to drink , but is too...
This is my Veiled Cham. I've had him for about 10 days. 2-3 days ago I moved his dripper to a spot where he would see it better and have better access to it... and that same day he climbed on the dripper, then had the tip of his tail in the water. I've never seen him do that. Also, as you can...
He has not thrown up yet. Thankfully. I did see him poop the second day I had him. But since then I have added more plants and have not seen any more feces since. I'm not sure though if it's bc I can't see it no that he has more foliage in his cage. Since I've only had him 4-5 days , I was...
Hey guys! So my new Veiled has been home now 4-5 days. The guy I bought him from said he is between 6-7 months and was eating every other day at the shop . However on day one he ate 10 crickets in a matter of minutes and 4 mealworms. I was very happy to see he was comfortable enough on his first...
Thanks! That is what I do, make it as quick as possible. But I guess I'm still wondering if this is what most Cham owners have to do on a daily basis.... open the door to feed them and mist them??? Or is there some secret way of doing this that does not cause as much stress that I am not aware...
My juvenile Veiled has been home 2 days now. I know I should not try to handle him for a week or two , and I know when they are stressed they turn dark.... and he has been a darker green during the day..... My question is, how do I not stress him out in these first 2 weeks when I have to open...
Ok thanks!!! Perfect timing for me to ask you my next question. So my Cham started to fall asleep around 6:45, his light shuts off at 7:00. He is def fast asleep right now on a branch at a high point. But without the ceramic heat it dropped to 67-69, I didn't want the poor thing to be cold...
Ok I wasn't sure what a mercury bulb was. Didn't think I had one. But if that's what a PowerSun is than I have one. I moved the cage to a less drafty location and the powersun by itself now gets up to 84-86. Also at the time I posted this I thought his basking point was supposed to be 90-100...
Ok thank you. Yeah he has been much brighter the two times I held him at the pet shop, and when I took him out of the box/carrier today at home. Hopefully he is warm enough. He has a appetite though! 4 mealworms and about 10-12 crickets
So you see how light green and teal he is in that pic... well now he is an overall darker shade of green since I put him in his new home. Am I over analyzing or is it normal for him to be a little unhappy or darker because of a new situation ? He seems good though bc he ate 10crickets no...
I just read through the whole care sheet.... thank you so much! I will get a digital probe and a couple of live plants tomorrow. With my cage being 48inch tall, can i place the plants in the bootm, or will they need to be up higher to create humidity
Oh ok, I did not realize that about the temp. Everything ive read on google has been generic, saying 85-100.... but wasnt based on age. I am using the same thing as the temp gage... its a dual analog with temp and humidity gage by zoo med
