I pasted this from my other thread. I also posted a pic of the area.

The history of this veiled is unknown. I found him in the wild In San Diego where a breeding colony escaped near by where I found him. The Colony escaped about 10 years ago so im assumming my cham was born in the wild because he only seems a couple of years old. I have him in a screened...

I just happened to find this by luck. I knew nothing about these animals before this, but I think Im hooked! The lady I spoke with today would absolutly let us venture on her property for photos but Im not so sure for collecting. She said if she came across another one she would just let...

Wow! Just got back from the area where I found the Cham and talked to another neighbor who confirmed the wild chams. She is a retired science teacher and a biologist who has seen the chams over the years. She said that two people withen a 1/4 mile used to raise Veileds and sell them to pet...
Cool, will do.
I just found somthing interesting on the web. It was a post on a different forum back in 2006 about a possible colony of veileds in the Jamul area...
Maybe I found it.
Got The cage about done. 1 Ficus, 1 Pothos, some branches and vines. I have the basking light and UVB on a 12 hr. timer and a misting/dripper system hooked up to my yard sprinklers (twice a day for 3min.) I have only been doing calcuim w/d3 twice a month. Should I be doing calcium daily also...
I actually have both but I was told the red could stay on all night when its cold out because the Cham cant see the red and it will keep him warm. If this is false please let me know so I can change it.
It very well could be a population because when I went back to ask the home owners on the street about the Cham they said theyve seen a cham befor in the trees. I figure the odds are there are more than one or they just happened to see the same one I found.
Im using Large crikets also.
The kids decided on "Dash" for a name. I have another Ficus that reaches the top of the enclosure but it started looking bad so I stuck it outside for a few days to see if I could save it. The Pothos is a good idea. I think Ill grab one tomarrow. I noticed tonight that sometimes when he is...
