What makes you say she is getting weak or how can you tell? I've read somewhere that they can go for a couple weeks or more without eating. I'm not saying you should starve her for that long, just that sometimes they go on hunger strikes. Chams can be stubborn (obviously). As far as her age I...
I use 5 or 6 of the eco terra jungle plant vines size large and hang them across the back. This is an unfinished pic of the cage but it shows what I'm using.
I got a 24x24x48 from DIY recently and put it on a 4 rack metal shelving unit. I had my old enclosure set up the same way as it gives space for supplies, lighting and drainage but needed a bigger shelving unit that would hold this cage.
I wrap tarp around the back and sides to help with excess...
How is she doing?
I personally prefer the strip over compact uvb bulbs, and many people recommend the strip over compact as well.
I'm no expert but she may have a mealworm addiction (I've heard of this before). Those aren't the best choice for feeder If you didn't already know. Have you...
Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear about your cham. Flchams has some nice looking premium baby veiled to choose from. Feel free to ask if you have any questions, you're in the right place.
Zoo med reptisun terrarium hood. There's different sizes for the different bulbs. You have to get the hood with the compatible bulb. The last two I've bought come with a free 5.0 bulb but I buy a extra 10.0 bulb because I have heavy foliage.
The good thing is you're trying to get him to a vet. Fill out the how to ask for help from so we can stress any husbandry issues that you possibly may have. Based on what I see I would get rid of the red bulb and use a regular bulb. Are you using that as a basking bulb?
are you using the tube UVB light or the compact? do you have all the needed supplements? You can post a picture to give us a better idea of what the enclosure looks like.
I have mine on a rack similar to the first pictures and put the drainage tub on the shelf right below the enclosure. I drilled several small holes into the bottom panel of the cage and the water drips through.
I'm sorry to hear this. My 2 year old veiled who was a rescue and lived with gout for most of his life, recently passed away. He started showing similar symptoms to Oscar. I would turn the cage sideways to prevent him from falling so high and to accommodate him in his current state. If he is not...
