We can definitely drop his temps for a bit, he raised his head occasionally but for less than ten seconds and once a day at most, usually he just looks sketchily/suspiciously at the light then goes back to his normal whatever he was doing. We have some more horizontals on the way! Also, I have...

Mel lies on his thermostat too, all the time, it's useless when we are trying to get temperature reads. You are doing a great job taking care of your baby and I'm so very sorry he got burns. But it is so clear that you are taking every step to fix it. Best of luck to you and your Cham.

A quick note about where we have gotten some of our more specific information from. The guy we got him from has been a successful breeder of a huge variety of chams, he now owns a store where he keeps more exotic varieties of reptile. He also works with an exotic reptile vet at the Aurora Animal...

I will be posting an update with Mel's big boy cage today (some pics will be added for sure!) But I was wondering if lucky bamboo is allowed in the cage? We have a pothos in there which he has already taken a few bites out of today and we have a lucky bamboo and we're wondering if that can go in?

I'm so excited! Mel is finally coming out of his brown phase!!!! We are also decorating his big boy cage because he's finally big enough for an upgrade. So much space to fill but we got a couple of live plants for him and are working on the set up!

P.S. He started a shed tonight so his colors are a little funky

What is this sleeping? He sleeps in some weird positions but this takes it.

I know I post a lot but HE CLIMBED ON MY HAND TO GET A SNACK. Ignoring him for the first week, being patient, and trying to avoid making him feel threatened is paying off!!!! He hung out for a bit then went back into his cage. My heart is so happy.

Wait... Our male has polka dots... Can boys have them too??? I need to look at his feet

Our little guy is so aggressive and grumpy but he is more food motivated. Such an angry little man he is. Best of look to you in your hand feeding endeavors with your male!

You're probably right! I'll look at that link and we will figure out a drainage set up and transition him to a live plant.

Cool! That sounds super cool but definitely not remotely what I was told, and I don't think we are in the right place to be trying for an ecosystem. I think we are just going to ditch the flooring, get a live plant to get our humidity up, and then figure out drainage. I just am not sure how much...

Just wanted to share my excitement from today's successful hand feeding! We got a male juvie veiled last week. We left him alone for the first week so he could settle in and let him get used to seeing us around, only real interaction was when we would put his buggies in but we never attempted to...

I think I need to ask for clarification on what the guy was expecting/aiming for with the forest floor by zoo med. I think maybe I misunderstood something so I would love more explanation on the bioactive and how that differs from other methods? If you don't mind :)

Thank you ! I need to ask for clarification on what we were recommended as you aren't the first person to bring this up in response to my post!

We are in Monument currently but probably heading toward Denver soonish! We have a plastic backing right now that once we put it on definitely helped but we aren't opposed to something different if we can't get the right levels going. We don't seem to have a problem with our night humidity...

What do you mean by drainage? He's got forest floor that we clean out pretty consistently. The forest floor was recommended by the place we got him from, he said it wasn't likely to hold bacteria if we are good about changing it out but I am always up for more advice and differing opinions on...

Ours is named Mel, short for Chamelon, this picture made me laugh so hard.

I caught this lovely shot mid food grabbing. I'm pretty sure he hits himself with the bug when he is pulling his tongue back...

Thank you so much! We will look into a live plant or two for the humidity, our home Depot is terrible but we will start looking out for those plants to add. And we will definitely get him something horizontal to hang out on. We bumped the light up a smidge and are hanging out so far around 85 so...
