Ok, thanks. I was just a little concerned because it's never taken him this long before and he is my first ever cham. I've seen him eat the shed from his face before lol. He'll be 7 months old next week so I guess things will be getting a bit different with him.

My little guy is having some issues with this shed. He's been trying to shed for 9 days now and only the skin on his upper back has actually shed off. Usually the day after he starts shedding he's completely done. Two days max. Nothing has changed in his habitat. Humidity stays around 60-65 and...

My little veiled is just over 3 months old and has a very healthy appetite. He's been steadily gaining 2 grams a week since I got him. I know the general rule of thumb is to feed roughly 10 small crickets a day at 3-6 months old but I've also been told to let him eat as much as he wants since...

rainbowmealworms.net and abdragons.com are the two I've been using. Both have great prices and excellent customer service.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice! I've tried supers and he won't touch them right now so I thought I would try them again when he gets a little older. He's only 3 months old. If I add butterworms, how many and how often should I give him those? Aren't they really fatty?

Right now I have my little guy on crickets, dubias, phoenix worms and just ordered some horn worms as treats. I don't mind ordering whatever as long as I know it's good for him. I have a breeder colony of dubias on the way now so I won't have to buy those anymore (if all goes well). If I cut out...

I've heard a few people talking about cutting crickets out of their chams diets all together and replacing them with dubias. I know I'm a newbie but everything I've read has said crickets are supposed to be their staple diet. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be happy to not have to bother with...

I'm actually in the process of setting up dubia & crickets colonies. They're just expensive at my local pet shops to buy. I only bought enough dubias to see if he would eat them from there. Superworms are out. He won't touch them. Phoenix worms & dubias seem to be his favorite by far and he...

I couldn't find them on Amazon but LLLReptile has them. Not sure of the price there because they're sold out.

Thanks @brownie64 for the shower curtain trick. His humidity is around 50-60% now and drops to about 40% at night when I'm not misting. I've cut the mistings back to every 2 hours now to see how it holds and may cut back more. Is it safe to leave the curtain up all the time? I have it around the...

You're wet list is almost exactly what I'm using now. I just blend everything with a bit of water to bring it together and then freeze in an ice cube tray. Keep them in a bag in the freezer and use as needed. Haven't tried making a dry food. The cat food won't harm my cham if I feed it to my...

I use a homemade wet gutload. What I've been doing is gutloading the insects I plan to feed the next day in a small cricket keeper the night before. I want to start breeding crickets and dubias to save a bit of money on feeders cuz my little guy has quite and appetite right now. I was planning...

Anyone have any suggestions on a good dry food, without cat or dog food, to feed dubias & crickets? Not looking for a gutload, just a dry food to feed a colony until I'm ready to gutload the ones I plan to feed my cham. I'd like to feed both the crickets and dubias the same thing if possible...

I'm so thankful I found this forum. You guys are awesome!

Thank you. I never knew I'd worry this much about him lol. I work from home fulltime so I always have my eye on him and notice any and every little thing that changes and that was something I hadn't seen before.

Phew....I was having a mini heart attack. I thought something was wrong with him. He can breathe through that? Is that salt on his head too?

Anyone know what that white stuff is on his nostril? It wasn't there this morning when I fed him. And are those white spots on his head the beginnings of a shed?

I have a dog and a cat in the same room with my cham 24/7 (I live in a studio apt) and they have no interest in him what so ever. I guess it would depend on the nature of your animals. My dog & cat aren't interested in anything except food and sleep lol. I've even had my cham out and walking...

Awesome! Thanks guys. I'll definitely pick a digital one.
