I don't do brevs (yet!), but I understand that you can just let them sit where they're laid and they will hatch.

Also, you should try to break up his feedings if he's eating that many. Maybe 6-7 at a time. I'm pretty sure they only have so much digestion juices at one time. After about 6 months old, you should cut back his food so he doesn't grow so fast. That will help make his bones strong (as long...

If he's attacking you, he's feeling better!

Looks good. A lot like my setup, actually. I agree with Justin, though, you'll probably need something between them to block vision. I use aquarium backing paper.

Veiled's (Yemen's) are notoriously pissy. They're not bad when pretty young, then get "I hate you and everything" like all teenagers. Some end up mad adults, but some actually calm down somewhat after a year or two. SoCaliSon is right, handling stresses them out. It's best to leave them...

F the kids, water the chams! (JK, someone has to play devil's advocate and Kent's not here yet.)

I think everyone hit on the main feeders: silkies, roaches, and crickets. Some say superworms, they last a while and are pretty easy to gutload. But a rotation is actually the healthiest.

Thanks, both of you.

How is the best way for a vet to draw blood for a screen? How much is needed? I'm not going to do it, but I need to get a panther a screen of calcium, phosphorous, and uric acid for possible gout and I want to know before taking him in. Thanks!

The Kammers have been doing this for years, you'll get a boy like you ordered. I got two females and a male from them.

Kat, so who's the sire?

Sometimes when they take a big poo it comes out. I'm not around to observe mine as much as I'd like, so I don't know if they stick it out for no real reason.

You don't say how old your cham is, but in general any kind of substrate that can't be digested is bad. Paper towels are used just to help clean up the poo. I'm assuming your cham is pretty young if he's only eating hoppers and waxworms. When he gets older, he's going to be eating larger...

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. There are related threads about using flashes.

If you're kind of lazy like me and don't want to do the whole resoil the plant thing, you can use decent size river stones on top of the soil. It lets the water in, but the chams can't get to the soil. Of course, you should always thoroughly rinse the leaves and soil first before putting in...
