WOW! They're so much more beautiful than I had previously thought! Nice job on the super clear pics! Thanks for sharing!

Don't worry too much. The stress of being in a new environment can make him hold his waste. I know that when I'm under stress, the same happens to me. As soon as I'm relaxed, all returns to normal. Just keep him well hydrated, and with time, he should go. :)

Congrats to you on your first googley-eyed baby! Indeed... no substrate! Unless you're using only paper towels, that is. With the mister on as much as was mentioned, though, not even paper towels would be wise.

As long as you steam it so that it's softer, yet still firm, it will be fine. I do this for my roaches with all of the cruciferous vegies, and they love it. :)

Snails, huh? I've seen that they're another food source for chams, but have never found a good source. Interesting, though. I wonder if they'd be too slow to attract my chams (f. Lateralis).

I use cricket crack for my roaches, but not as a staple (I gave up on keeping crickets a long time ago). I use it as a supplement to the many vegies, fish food, and fruit that I give them. Crickets are scavengers just like roaches, so in my opinion, there's no significant difference in...

Tiki Tiki Reptiles sells/makes it. Since you're local, The Reptile Zoo in Fountain Valley sells it too. :)

yeah, ok... I see. You know... I was wondering about the black ones being dead too. According to some website that raises the maggots into flies, the black stage of the maggot contains a higher level of calcium than the cream colored one. I guess the cream colored ones eventually turn black...

If you're just feeding them out to your animals, I'd leave them in their container. If you plan on raising them into their next stage (soldier flies), then I'd move them to another (larger) container with a screened lid.

Hmmm... I wonder if it was really hydration. It's very possible that it was stress related. I don't know about you, but when I'm in a stressful situation, my body tends to hold the waste until I relax. Just a thought.

WHOA. nice! Thanks for posting the link for feeders!

According to the company that commonly sells Phoenix worms, you don't need to feed them. I did, however, read an article about soldier flies, which is what the worms apparently turn into. They said they feed vegetable scraps to the worms. I tried it myself, and found that they love zucchini...

WOW! Kink's babies are due soon?! Nice! Did you breed him to another turquoise line female or ? My first Cham was a male Veiled, and boy was he a pistol. :P

The amount of turquoise on Kink in that third pic is incredible! What a beautiful boy! What's his temperament like?

Thanks, everyone! He's already a looker as it is (whether he's wearing his drab colors or his camophlage), and has the best personality that I've ever seen in any Cham yet! I can't wait until he's all grown up!!! Now I just need to find him a compatable mate. :D

Hello, all! I just thought I'd finally try posting a pic on the forum to test out how it's done. This is my baby k. Matschiei boy named Ghubari (it means, 'Raincloud' in Swahili. This is one of the languages spoken where his species originates). He's one of Chad's babies from the Dresden...
