    Mould!

    There is no answer for how bad mold is for chams. There are over 200,000 species of mold; a very small percentage of these have been studied for health affects in humans let alone chams. The primary risk in humans is immune response mediated (allergy/asthma) or, more rarely, pathogenic...

    Warm or Cool Humidifier?

    If you're in a relatively small room and there is no forced air ventilation that recirculates air throughout the apartment then a "warm mist" humidifier might be best. The main concern with this type is the discharge temp of the moisture vapor. If placed away from the enclosure it should be...

    My son's having surgery

    When it comes to sick kids it puts into perspective what is really important in life - I never fully appreciated this until we had children of our own. My thoughts are with you and I hope everything turns out OK.

    Drinking from floor of enclosure - problem?

    Current Problem - Not sure if this is a problem, looking more for reassurance or early diagnosis if there is a concern - please let me know: MadEye has recently been going to the floor of the enclosure during the evening and appears to be drinking drops of water that fall off the plants. I'm...

    digital thermometer/hygrometer...

    If you stuck the probe in a cup of water then my guess is it is not working (at least not any more).

    Any hockey fans??

    The "everyone do a shot of tequila for each Blackhawk goal and a bonus shot if they win" seamed like a good idea before the game started. Ouch!

    Humidity question

    Keep in mind - moisture vapor always moves from warm to cold and higher concentration to lower concentration. Since a cham's enclosure is warmer than the room and moisture sources are directed into the enclosure humidity will naturally migrate away out of the enclosure. Blocking off sides...

    sleeps alot...why???

    On public forums sometimes a thick skin is needed. From my experience this is common whenever an open public group who do not know each other try to communicate via text only. Inflection and tone is lost and it easily devolves into comments that would either never be said to someone you know...

    Sealant

    If you plan on keeping the cham in the cage then research sealants by requesting material safety data sheets (MSDS). By law who ever sells it needs to provide the MSDS upon request and most manufacturers will have them posted on their web site. This would give you an idea of the chemicals in...

    Any hockey fans??

    How 'bout now? But hey - gotta give the Canucks some props. Only 4.5 D left standing - not much you can do. And Salo! Taking a slap shot that ruptured is "hey heys" and tries to get back on the ice 2 days later! That's sic - any other pro sport and the guy is done for months. Even Luongo...

    Cross-Breeding?

    The reality is - 100% confidence that a locale is "pure" does not exist and will not be possible until a distinctive feature is discovered that is objectively verifiable (i.e. genetic variation - even this is subject to some error albeit negligible). What we are paying for by going to...

    'Orangutan-sized raccoons' invade Chicago

    Saw this on the news - they're not that big. Simply fat. Neighbors have decided that they are cute and need to be fed. There was footage of up to a dozen of them on a b-ball court lined up against the fence while people were throwing them food.

    Got home and lil guy looks like he is in trouble NEED HELP

    Keep in mind - not all deaths (cham, human or other) are related to environmental factors. It appears to me you did your homework and were well prepared. As Pssh said - a necropsy might provide some answers and clear up any questions you might have on whether or not husbandry was a factor...
