Crap....yes chams can teach owners to drink from shot glasses. My collection of glasses is on the wall behind his cage at the moment! I looked up at him a moment ago and saw the collection : /. Trace - Still need to look for funding. "][/URL]

Why don't you copy and paste Mike's post on the other site...inquiring minds wanna know if it's ban worthy : )/. I'll work on a study to find out if chams can teach their owners drink from a shot glass....very worthy scientific research that I'm sure will have a cult following haha.

He obviously had something with a 151 floater. Rehab should fix the problem...but he's gotta want to do it for him and no one else if he's going to stay grounded.

Awe, your little holiday scrooge. I'm sure he plans on dropping lil lumps of coal for trying to dress him up lol.

What Nick recommended. Also a feeder cup mid level in the habitat would get more attention than at the bottom. Eat2muchrice posted a great DYI feeder cup in the Enclosure section and could be modified with suction cups if you have a glass enclosure. I would say the next go around for...

Looking really good! My boy shed on October 6th and is showing signs he's ready to do it again. He was on my bed last week and caught himself in the mirror and fired up, almost a neon orange. Our boys definitely would make Bruce proud. The colors just get more amazing. Did he stay mellow...

Understanding people run into financial hardships I still think freezing is a horrible solution. Since I am not capable of blunt force trauma I would look at a Humane Society or try borrowing money from family or friends if it came to euthanizing. I can't knock anyone for doing what they need...

Yep spot on, one of the reasons I am sticking to one cham until I get more time under my belt. They are so cute but as you pointed out the labor of love adds up, and quickly. I've already had to travel for a week out of state last month and I was so paranoid he would not receive half the...

I wouldn't go as far to say the simple answer is no, but I do agree with the research. Only being a cham owner for several months I found that while there is a lot of care needed, it wasn't nearly as difficult as some posts would lead people to believe with the hardier beginner chams. It all...

I think also another factor to consider is time spent taking care of feeder insects when dealing with many different types of reptiles. They're like the bonus sidekick "pets" that go along these awesome animals. I did not factor in the feeding and care of insects that I feed, but it's all with...

I hand feed my dubias. I've tried free range with them but they tend to migrate to the bottom of the cage and hide under paper towels or the plant pot. If hand feeding is not an option I would give free ranging a shot and see how he takes to it. Otherwise feeder cups seem to be common...

Some chams go for dirt. The first time I saw my boy eat a mouthful I freaked until he pooped; thankfully the next day so I could stop stressing. Don't think of it as a death sentence, will probably be okay and just get it covered ASAP. Chams will rattle our nerves like no other. You got a...

Find your nearest Humane Society Shelter. I've taken a squirl my dog caught to one because I could not finish it off. But if this is your Cham, Groot, from your other thread from today it sounds like he's passed on.

Sweet! Goats are adorable and appear to have great personalities. I can't have them in my city, but occasionally they bring them in to eat fields of grass to be environmentally friendly.

I've never heard of a big chain pet store offering a 6 month gaurantee on animals; hopefully you got that in writing. The vet visit and cleaning the cage is solid advice. Having a herp vet is critical, like having them on speed dial critical. In general there are so many that wait until...

Your chams are beautiful. Makes me wish I had more experience to get a second, but no where near ready since I've only had my fist for a few months. I'm sure these types of photos will hold me over until that time comes.

My boy is on a dubia roach strike and I was tired of the stanky crickets from the local chain store so I tried my hand at Ghanns. I liked the fact that most all places ship on Thursday's for a Friday delivery. Since I'm on the opposite side of the country shipping was up there, but I really am...

Every single day since I got mine a few months back. The other day I had a conference call and looked up and he had three feet on the door screen and one tippy toe on a branch. I was cringing waiting for a thud, he's a big boy. I have to force myself to walk away or stop looking when he...

Glad to see he's cooperating again. Gotta love those mood swings.

I don't think the heater concept works well. I have one set to 95 and by the time the water gets to the nozzle the heat has disapated. From the bucket to the nozzle is only 6 feet. I continue to use it though, more so because it makes me feel better that I'm trying to keep him comfortable...
