I have no idea why it posted twice sorry:notworthy:

You can try and raise the humidity in his cage and that usually helps sheds get of easier. As long as it isnt cutting of circulation I wouldnt worry about those sheds. The black spots are a little more concerning though.

In my opinion 95 is way to hot for your baby. Upper 80s (85) is better

I have seen some with papiloma that have a bump. Maybe @jajeanpierre can help more

Male The black on the tail could be bruising or stuck shed. I dont think the skin looks weird but he is a little skinny. As for the black spot on the head, it could be a burn or bruise. What is his basking temp? Were the black spots there when you got him?

I use 20 pound fishing line. I have done it for about 2 years and havent had any major problems with it. I also use zip ties.

I would also try feeding wax and butter worms. They are very fatty and will help get weight on him Edit: I see you are feeding some wax, but maybe add some butterworms? Hornworms will also help with his hydration.

I also agree with the mbd and make sure you are misting him for minutes at a time. He looks dehydrated to me.

Not sure if this one is here yet... Raleigh, North Carolina Avian and exotic animal care 8711 Fidelity Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27617 919-844-9166

So is petco taking care of him? Or are you? If they are I would highly recommend you get him back because they really dont know much about proper cham care.

If you get a mistking, you can make the reservoir as large as you like

At about 5 months, I fed small crickets, small supers, small hornworms(which are hard to keep small), small silks, black soldier fly (larvae and fly), small dubia and occasionally a waxworm or small butterworm

I would say any appropriate sized food would be okay. The more variety the better!:D I cant wait to see your new cham!!

It looks like this, but they also have a blue one that comes without the calcium fortification.

Do you have a picture of it? It could be fluker brand gel for watering insects. Its not harmful but not the best option for water either.

Definitely measure the temperature of the basking spot. What species of cham do you have?

Definitely read the care pages in here! The biggest mistake I made with my first cham (also from petco) was having the basking heat too hot and not the right distance away. He burned his casque (top of the head).

Do you think you could post a side picture of his head so we can see clearer what you are talking about? Besides that I would try to add more variety in his diet and try to give him a larger cage. I do not think those are contributing to the probem but they are just some suggestions to improve...

Actually for a female, it should be 85 to help with reducing egg production
