Why yes, I do believe that we have come full circle in the conversation. LOL! I would love to see pictures of your chams, if you would post them. I have had many different lizards and snakes over the years, but for some reason, Chams are my favorite.
Yes. Echo had a stomach torsion and despite 3 vet visits he succumbed to it. And Elsa was a pitty-rescue that was way too young to have been in the pet trade. She was only 2" long when I got her, which was also, unfortunately, in the middle of winter and in a blizzard. I currently have one of...
Looking at his living conditions, his body condition actually looks surprisingly well! I'm wondering if they just recently got him. He's extremely lucky to have been found by you! Best of luck with him. My first recommendation would be a vet visit to see just exactly what his health status is.

Thank you for your input. But it's temporary housing for him until he gets a little bigger. I have been keeping chams for more than 5 years with success. I have also handled all of my chams. There are live plants in his enclosure and yes, he does enjoy nibbling on them from time to time. So...
So many times, people are scolded for handling their chams, by other people. There are some, however that do trust their humans and actually want to come out and interact. My Eragon and Emma are both this way! I am so blessed to have these two, and someday, I do plan to breed them, with the hope...
