anyone know why a 6 mo. old male panther cham would try to eat his shelf? It is made of hard poly resin. Do they go through "teething" stages? He's in excellent health...it's more annoying because of the sound it makes...doesn't last long, less than 5 mins. or so...should I be worried?
Here she is getting her vitamin D on!!!
Well deserved playtime outside after getting fed and re-hydrated after laying her 3rd clutch on a nice 80+ degree day here in the Seattle!!! Thanks again to all for the advice!:):):D:D
We are looking good now I think!! Yesterday when I came home from work, she was hard at work digging her tunnel. Later that evening she was backed into her tunnel laying her eggs (I assume) She was still laying when I awoke this morning. I expect that by the time I get home tonight she will...
We were told she was 4 months old when we bought her. But then again, we were also told that she was a HE--lol In mid-August will be exactly 1 year that we have had her. So you guys think she may be older due to this being her 3rd clutch? She was barely the length of one of my fingers snout...
I have a one year old female veiled.
I noticed her showing signs of wanting to lay so I set up her cage as before and it has been close to 3 weeks and she still wont lay. She won't even test dig...Only difference from the other 2 times is now I have an air screen cage and have tried a bin that...
Thanks to all for their condolences. It is very much appreciated. We had talked about the possibility of breeding when Raj had matured. It would have been an adventure for sure to try it out. Biggest fear was what would we do with all the babies if we couldn't sell them, or what to even...
RIP Raj
So even after vet treatment and meds, Raj did not survive overnight. We are very saddened by this and really disappointed in the way he was represented to us when purchasing. He obviously had issues when we bought him with his bulging eyes and lethargy. The vet primarily diagnosed...
Yeah, Luckily he was still alive and that's where I took him...looks as if he had this condition before i brought him home...almost 3 bills later, I have 4 meds and some specialized food I'll be administering for a while. I was relieved to see him still alive when I got home, but sad that I...
ok...after looking through some of the pics posted here of young veilds, Raj seems to have very bulging eyes...way more than normal. Is this a sign of what could be killing him?? I will try to post pics when I get home from work today. I don't remember my 1 year old female having such...
I will most likely turn to this forum with questions pertaining to how this might have happened. I suspect he was sick when we bought him and think the guy that sold him to us just didn't care for him while he was closing down his store.
seems to have taken a turn for the worse
This morning when my fiance` and I woke up and checked on the little guy, he was very lathargic. He was clung to some foliage and it didn't take much effort to get him out. Since he seemed dehydrated since we brought him home just a few days ago and we...
Thanks Sharp--
Kinda funny that someone here knows the particular pet store in question. I have removed the fountain from the cage first thing when I got it home (I wasn't sure why he put it in there in the first place as I had been reading the forums here for quite some time and know how bad...
Also, he came with and had been living in a screen type enclosure that is 24" wide by 48" tall by 24" deep. This seems somewhat big for such a small juvenile, so I put him in the beginner exoterra that I had my female in when she was a juvenile. My female is enjoying her new diggs as I have...
It seems they were feeding him crickets (some were a bit too big for him) and some roaches that I was unfamiliar with. They are red and black in color, not Dubia. I am hoping it's just that he's getting used to his new environment. Any other feedback is welcome.
Hello,
I am new to the group and chose this particular group after reading several posts and feel I can get the most reliable answers here. This is kind of a long story...I purchased a baby veiled male cham two days ago from the feed store I bought my supplies and bugs from (I already own a...
