They look like very interesting bugs. I might have to pick some up now thanks hehe

I never really notice that before, I just hope my Veileds will grow to be a nice healthy size.

Lol, thats a Nice cham Jonathan! :D Definitly gonna be a hard contest to judge as usualy! Not worth entering one of my little Veileds hehe :P

Wow your Chams are beauts Michele! Looks like another hard Contest coming up!

Hey welcome to the forums. Im not an expert or anything, but I think a female will be ready when she is around 1 year or older. She will turn a pinkish color as shown here Receptive And when shes not ready she will show gravid colors as shown here pics are from this link...

Wow! Brad rocks hehe! I am gonna try in this one, but you guys all have way more beautiful chams :P

Well usually I've been dusting my crickets with some HerpCare cricket dust every other day. I've been wondering myself how many times should I dust the crickets too. Maybe someone like Jenna :D can help hehe.

Little less then 2 hours. I will be there!

Wow thanks for all the info and pics Jenna! :D This helped me a bunch! Thanks again!

Yes. Should I keep them in something else, like a plastic container next time?

Check his urates. If its somewhat orange then he is not getting enough water. Is his grip weak? Maybe try putting him in the shower?

Hey Drew, nice Cham, but from looking at his legs (they look skinny) and his casque is small(is that what the thing on their heads is called?), I'd say he is young maybe around 2-3 months?

Last month I recieved 1000 crickets that I ordered off of cricketfactory.com. I kept them in a 10 gallon tank, with carboard crates, food, and water, which I cleaned regularly. Today when I went to get more crickets to keep for upstairs, I noticed that there is alot of them dead. My question...

Thats a good idea Jenna, I will definitly be there.

Hey Marsha welcome to the forums! Some plants you can try are Ficus, Pothos, Hibisicus, Umbrella Trees, Spider plants, Schefflera(sp?) as well as many more. I've heard that some are hard to keep alive due to the fake lighting. Heres a link with some herp-friendly plants...

I visit the live chat every few days, but no one is ever in there.

I would say that is a little low. Veileds (which is what you have right?) need around 100 degrees on the basking side in order to digest their food aswell as many other things. How does he look? Brown, light green etc. Is he trying to climb at the top of the cage?

Hey, maybe try being lower then he is when reaching at him with your hand or a stick. Whenever I try and get one of my Veileds out to clean their cage, I get lower then they are and put my hands on both sides of the branch he is on, and they usually climb onto me. Once their on me though, I...

I think its their way of communicating with each other. I could be wrong though.

Yes, I do the same as Sally. As soon as I open the cage and put the crickets in, they start running toward the container. Sometimes they don't understand the clear container and go for the crickets while underneath the container.
