I've seen these a lot over the years and overtime one thing I notice when people post updated pictures and videos is that either the enclosures have changed or that there is a good bit of patch work on the screen material. Keep in mind that our cham's little needle like claws have a chance of...

@CierralovesScales you might also have good luck by searching for breeders in your area. If they are local you can axe the shipping and more than likely pick up an egg from them if you explain that you're looking for the hatching experience.

Has she started to lay yet? They can lay infertile slugs every so often.

These guys are on my list to find. Not sure of any breeders currently working with them, but I'd love to get a colony of them going and some seperate enclosures to pull the males every so often so the females are not over bred.

Veiled's seem to be OK with the dusting process, in the case of Triceros they are a little more touchy on it. That's more so my focus as those are the only species I currently have. I just find it odd that species such as the Crested Gecko were studied long enough to find out their diet was...

Ok, so a few questions since I've been contemplating a greenhouse for a while to move out some of my plant projects/keeping tropical fruit species in a non tropical state. 1) How much propane do you go through a season heating it? 2) Do you run an exhaust fan for the summer or just leave the...

IMHO it depends on your Cham. Some cham's are more than content with fake plants, but you just have to make sure that the cham's are not eating or trying to eat the synthetic material. In other cases, some cham's just prefer any cover they are provided. One of my female's happens to love her...

Hrm, I'll have to look into this more. I bet if I give the roaches a few days purge time prior with other foods this issue should be null. It's been proven in other species that high amounts of calcium can wreck havoc on an animals kidney and cardiovascular system. Since we can't specify a...

Does this mean we have to provide male & male confrontation chances? Even if all of it is is that they are able to see one another from across the room?

I considered that option, but I wasn't sure if there was enough space per cham for that solution, mainly when it came to basking gradients.

It hit me a few days ago that Calcium in general is a dangerous thing to be messing with. How I dust might not be how someone else dusts so I don't see it as 'measurable' so I'd like to find a path that is. The only path I can see this being somewhat natural is to work with the food sources the...

Let me just make something clear, I'm not trying to 100% replicate nature as it's impossible. CBB species of anything live in more controlled, and hopefully better conditions in their captive environment than in the wild. I'm just trying to find out the missing piece of what goes on in the wild...

I just want a tour of this greenhouse!

Oh definitely can be done. There are ton's of species of Geckos out there, some that are probably not even 100% identified. I wouldn't go as far as saying your little Willsii will be taking down adult day Gecko's, but babies of most species are around an inch to an inch and a half tops. When you...

If you can tap those lines for hot/cold and drain and run them through the base of the wall to the garage, you're set. Just figure out your heating/cooling solution. IMO you may want to look into solar to offset the running costs of additional high KW/hr appliances.

I have to beg to differ on the adults of any canopy species. Small lizards can easily be taken down by most adult cham's. Being that gecko's are prolific where most cham's are I could see them being a source of food for an adult canopy species.

Ok, so that's on the adult level. But what are we missing for newborns and the young of our canopy species? I doubt you're going to be finding Veiled's, Panther, and Jackson's raiding finch nests for eggs. Plus, even then, most vertebrates are too large for the young chams to ingest.

Well when I bought my first home I wanted to do it right. The misses wasn't thrilled I was taking a lot of trips to the hardware store/unavailable to do things that didn't involve going out with people/going out for a few months, but it paid off when she realized I consolidated space for a hobby...

You have an excellent point @jamest0o0 Besides UVB, from the sun, where are wild cham's getting their higher sources of calcium then? There has to be either a prey item we as hobbyists are overlooking, or in general we are under-doing the UVB needs. I've read old articles of where some species...

I would say that a lot of the deformities you've mentioned when applied to a Cham would be a sign that they wouldn't be long for this world. Certain species can live prolonged with deformities, but generally natural selection kicks in. Think of it this way, there are no color morphs for Cham's...
