My boy is around 5 months old and is still eating about 15 gutloaded/dusted crickets each morning. Around when should I start transitioning him to eating every other day? When we went to the vet to get acquainted and have a fecal test done he weighed 57 grams, a 14 gram gain since we brought him...

I’m hammys #1 fan

Jameson! He’s growing so quickly, the bottom photo was from when he brought him home a little over a month ago.

A lot of your replies on threads are very negative and unhelpful. I think if you wanted to really try and help new owners and their chams you’d want to be a little kinder.

He is translucent! He’s extra pissed at me because I was pick poking through his enclosure trying to find what he hurt himself on. Thank you for easing my nerves.

Should I make a vet appointment or just keep an eye on it?

Hi folks. This morning when Jameson came out from his sleeping area to bask, I noticed a little black spot on his foot that wasn’t there yesterday. I assume it’s bruising, but I’m not sure what it could be from. He can climb with and still has a strong grip with that foot, should I be concerned...

Sure thing! Sorry I didn’t have anything more useful to say!!

The veterinary hospital I work at/am studying at has done spays for iguanas before. I’m sure it isn’t totally the same because they’re much larger, but the surgeries I have witnessed have gone smoothly. (Im going into large livestock so I haven’t actually taken part in any of them) The healing...

Thank you! Once I find one and start I’ll probably have some more questions I hope you do not mind :)

Yes please

Hi all!! Unfortunately, we got a little scammed and my Chams new larger enclosure we had commissioned fell through. I had seen some interesting set ups using old china hutches that had been refurbished to suit a Cham and am thinking about getting a project like that started myself. I’m fairly...

Thank you Becca! You did a great job with your handsome boy :)

That makes sense, I've been thinking hes going to go into shed soon. Colors looking a little dull, acting extra grump etc. Thank you!

i saw my little do what I think was a yawn this morning. Is there any way to differentiate this from over heating and gaping? I didn’t even really realize Chams could/needed to yawn. I had just turned his lights back on and his temp was 74 degrees so I’m not particularly worried, but I’d still...

Is this the same Cham that you posted about a couple days ago that wouldn’t “shoot her tongue”?

That’s a good point about them preferring stability! I can totally see how a new layout could become stressful. I’ll switch it up a little less!

I deep clean every 2 or so weeks! When I do this I move the Pothos plant that is in the enclosure and my cham into a box where he can wait while I clean. He normally seems pretty content there and doesn’t put up too much of a fuss. I take everything out and clean my drip pan, as well as clean...

My mistking (the starter one not the huge one I was looking at by mistake lol) finally came and I am head over heels! Its so nice not to have to constantly worry about hydration and keeping the humidity up. Thank you everyone! :)

He isn’t just starting to not totally hate my guts and I’m trying to keep on his good side lol Thank you for the shoe box tip!
