Hey,
my male veiled may have this trait to some extent....he's had a white head from an early age, he's 8 months old now, maybe i've got some crazy morph! lol and here's everybody is thinking he only needed a head shed, he's just shed the other day AGAIN and his head is still white!
Cheers
Scott
That's the key, feed them less and they don't grow as quick, although they pupate at roughly the same time or slightly longer only smaller....from my experience
I'm still in the closet, maybe i'll take my chams in there with me too...lol
Only joking guys couldn't help myself...:D
BTW, I was thinking about the feeding difficulties as I was reading through this thread and there you go, you experienced it...great job, well done on your uniqeness...
Dave, I just can't get out of my head an ageing old cham with your descriptions...lol and catherine comparing it to an ageing relative, wrinkly old men, my nanna comes to mind...again lol..
I've never seen an old cham, not that yours is that old, can you post some pics for us...please! Anyone...
My guess dodolah's from South america somewhere...
This should be a new thread, The "guess where's dodolah's originally from"...lol
Cheers Scott...
BTW, if you could get them, I think bee larvae would be excellent feeders!
Ditto that Will
I have both of them as well, do you have the Blue Planet "space" DVD?
I hope this one comes out on Blu-ray too....:cool: can't wait!!!
Cheers
Scott.
That's the beauty of coir, it has no critters in it originally, so if your plants are fully cleaned there is no way for an introduction of pests you don't want...
Well that's the theory anyway!
Cheers

My regime:
Everday dust with calcium,
Twice monthly dust with Calcium + D3
Twice monthly dust with multi-Vits...
And as Kinyonga says, gutload well and that's half the battle!
seems to be doing great!

This is probably the fitting you have seen, including the diffuser, the plastic bit.
remove it and your done!
Search the forum for lighting requirements and you'll see heaps of lights that we all use.
Hope this helps.
cheers

The "plastic cover' is simply a diffuser, ie basically a cover that softens and spreads the light out more.
You can simply take it off and discard it....you don't need this for this purpose, as you want to give your cham UVB and having a diffuser installed will stop any of the UV from hitting...
Sorry for your loss of your little babe...:(
Again, it seems you had done everything correctly, try and move on and get another to cherish and love...
Good luck...

In short....yep you can do it, I have and my Mum's an expert on cuttings.
Cut it at a joint, place it in water and wait for it to root.
Easy. Likew someone said rooting gel etc can be used depending on how quick you want to do it!

I don't have this setup for my Cham, but I do for my Boyd's dragons...
How I do it is like this:
My enclosure is a 36x36" corner aquarium, that has a 3" drain hole drilled into the bottom, which has a vessel to catch the water under it, all enclosed in a cabinet so you can't see it.
Firstly I...
LOL...Congrats on the new proposed addition, looking forward to you posting on their courtship and all!
Are you going to dabble in breeding then?
I'd be interested to read the pitfalls etc before I try,as you always only ever read the clinical version, ie put a M & F together, she becomes...
Hey,
MDF no good, you need alot of moisture when keeping chams (depending on specie) to keep up humidity & hydration, MDF absorbs moisture like a sponge and swells. Also this introduces a breeding ground for bacteria..no good.
Raising your enclosure is good, raise it so your cham can climb...
