Beautiful Girl!!! We hope to get a Parson in a few month, after being thrust into Cham 101 with this Jackson, going to take our time building a nice vivarium and not be rushed into it all!! Hope to find a beauty like her!!!
I hate the crickets as well, but feed them daily 8-12 with a mix of worms & roaches...
I take a small sandwich bagieb, with a little calcuim loaded already & my crickets come in longer plastic baggie... (If I think of it this am, I'll take a pic of how I do it)
It took a couple days but no...
I'd have to move out if they all got out!:p
Don't get down on yourself, you have so much going on ATM, but will be in better shape soon with all the work you're doing, hope you've found all the escapees by now!!
Mix up the diet, they can't just eat roaches, in fact, switch to crickets as a staple-no uric acid stored, with superworms, theres an excellent thread in here I'll link if I can find it that lists their dietary pref for health. You will make progress, it just takes a while, but you're doing all...
Was just wondering getting a jug plant and saw these beauty's.....it would make sense with the few escapee feeders we get here and they're near as fasinating as the beautiful Chams.:)
My goodness, whatever you're doing that involves being surrounded by such amazing beauties you you must be doing right! I need to be changing my career up to this solely:D
For feeding him crickets and a variety of bugs that'll perk him up and give him a better diet and spark him healing, I leave crickets and have a small carrot tied to the cage for the crickets to leave Gus alone (not bite him) since I can't stay to watch him eat.
You need calcium.WITHOUT D3 daily. D3 can harm in overabundance! Calcium WITHOUT daily, d3 maybe every 3 weeks now that it's been way overdone. Then multivitamin every 2 weeks.
No cat food filler with roaches!!!!! Review husbandry feeders, there's little to no nutrients for them in just...
We were using a very tiny buss card for our teeny Jackson Gus, but it's such a small drop of liquid and was upsetting him, so I've resorted to putting on the bottom of a superworm as he gobbles that straight off my hand right away and that way he doesn't build distrust. It's nearly traumatic...
Please do not get a waterfall. And for quite a while, let it be. Minimal contact from you except feeding and watering. You have a drip system? You can build a cheap one or you can purchase a cheap one thru drip king....they need a lot of time to get interested and need to see the dripping...
This is such a dream set up❤️. Was clearing a cement foundation of vines from a tree smashed prev she'd, and this is ridiculously inspiring. Congratulations on an amazing new habitat for your scaled ones!! The insect escapees alone are worth the investment
I abso understand, the staff at ours?? They were so awesome!!! It's just the limits the chain has to allwong them to do a great job. It's truly unfortunate.
that's Gus as of tonight. He us going to avherp specialist in the morning thankfully. I hope yours resolves quickly and painlessly for...
Just sending you positive energy. We bought our Jackson 9 weeks ago from a Petco here in MI. Horrible experience. He is opening mouth as well, tilted head up and acting "winded". We made the mistake of thinking their health guarantee ment they actually cared for and tested and observed the...
Just to speak from personal experience with PetCo being the chain, they don't have the capacity/don't know enough about the exotics they carry.
My Jackson unfortunately is from there and was in all improper housing/lighting/feeding, as well as they gave incorrect advice in purchasing which I...
