there's no problem per se, it's a nice cage. but you will have escapees, it's inevitable. particularly if you're varying the diet properly. there's a lot of flying/climbing/jumping bugs on the average cham menu! if you and anyone else living there doesn't mind, it's not an issue. but there are...

fwiw, when I initially tried this on a panther many years ago, it didn't work until I used the tip that has the rolling ball in it, vs. the other style which has a little hole. the balls "look wetter" and deliver more water quickly, and then he caught on pretty fast. your mileage may vary. ;)

you know LLL makes drainage pans designed for that cage, right? drill some small holes around the PVC bottom, or don't and it would still overflow into the drain pan. then there's a million ways to hook up the drain pain for continual drainage, etc. having used both Big and Lil Drippers before...

you won't lose a cham, but you're going to lose every feeder insect you put in there!! if it's not from the bottom gap, they'll go right through the cloth. FYI, this is ½" as well, and he almost made it. dunno where you plan on keeping the cage, but NJ has enough snake species that can do...

me too!! my first "real" snake, a Florida king was Zeus when I was 7 or so. I think I've gone through most of Mt. Olympus by now! :p

lol! next you'll have Careful and Axe! when you get a hatchout of babes, you can use "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" for at least sixteen of them!! :D

but "mal" is the prefix meaning "bad"...dunno if that's good karma!

I dig my Olloclip which was given to me as a gift, but it's a PITA to take my particular case off whenever I want to use it. it is a great little package though, three lens styles from two lenses if anyone hasn't seen it. I also have the Blue Mikey microphone and used together have taken some...

I got the rads-- part of the problem with reading them is they took two AP views, and they really should have shot at least one lateral or oblique angle. that's the vet's issue, they should know better. since they were reviewed by a radiologist at Antech, did they offer up a more confirmed...

in this particular case we don't know enough about prior husbandry, how the fracture occurred, or even if it's fractured (!). realize how important that is for an answer. how many of us with standard, accepted supplementation and lighting have seen fractures in our chams? not too many, i would...

sometimes. and you are correct about the threshold being reached, it's similar to when crystals form spontaneously in supersaturated solutions. once they reach a certain point of elevating proteins and perhaps some dehydration thrown in, the crystals begin to precipitate out.

they can't make up their mind w/ multiple xrays? take a focused digital photo of the xrays on the viewbox (if it's not already digital), and if you post it it can easily be post-processed to really pick out the details on my end. gout is absolutely known to often "pop up overnight". although...

sounds like the best medicine for both pain and reduction in swelling. fractures take many months to heal, longer than it would if you broke your leg let's say. use the meds, treat him well, keep it bandaged or splinted if possible, and supplement as you normally would. bones heal.

what medication did they give you, dosage, volume?

how did he wind up diagnosing it w/o giving you any idea of it's healing time, splinting, or not using medications? was an xray taken? it seems pretty odd that anyone would diagnose it w/o helping to treat it or give you an idea of what to expect.

did the necropsy results come back yet on the male Bwindi?

i believe that's the first time you mentioned that he had worms and was recently dewormed. i don't know what medication or dosage that was used, but it's not uncommon for chams to have some mild GI issues post-deworming, particularly with known parasites. this really should have been said at the...

well, you did get a firm poop not more than 48 hours ago. and by your account, he's still happily eating when he wants and drinking. mabrams said it well; i would continue as is and update us. has he ever been checked for parasites? some of the larger worms can cause impactions in large...
