Thanks.... maybe if I hit dead-ends with trying to find ways to make bioactive work I will be forced to get creative, but right now I'd rather buy than make. Also, I'm really, REALLY disappointed with the ReptiBreeze cage. I've never seen one in person before but since this cham came with one...
Thanks. I feel bad for the poor fella.... he has no idea why he's in a strange place with strange people looking at him. Hopefully within a week or two he'll feel like the trauma was worth it.

He's home. He looks surprisingly good and even though I think he shut down on the way home in the box he went right for the food dish as soon as I got him into his temporary enclosure. I say "temporary" because it's the cage he came with which is WAY too small, but at least now there is a...
Great, thanks for the additional info. Having never seen the bottom of a ReptiBreeze in person yet I really don't know what I'm dealing with. So I would need to purchase the optional substrate tray, right? What is on the bottom of the cage the way it comes in the box... just a thin layer of...
Thanks for the links - VERY helpful! I think the root pouches are a great idea.... looking at the sizes available I'm guessing you buy the very large ones and then modify/conform them to fit the square bottom while rolling over the top? When you water the plants, doesn't some of the water...
I definitely will, but also don't want to start our relationship off by being the new face that is harassing him with a camera. I will have to find a good balance between leaving him alone and observing/taking pics. Wish me luck on leaving him alone..... I'm not gonna want to take my eyes...
Am looking at tables similar to that right now - thanks. I can't go that wide for the area I'm putting the new cage - I am looking for something that's as close to 24 x 24 as possible. The ReptiBreeze stands would be great but I really didn't want to spend $80 just for a stand. I'm on the...
Thanks! We're going to need all the good juju we can get. I'm still a new cham Mom, but I did LOTS of reading and research before I brought home my juvenile female veiled about a month ago so I think I pretty much know what they need. I also know there's still lots I probably don't know so...
Since I'll be rescuing an adult male veiled tomorrow who comes with a cage that is MUCH too small for him I will be getting a 24 x 24 x 48 ReptiBreeze for him. The habitat I currently have for my young female is a hybrid (some glass, some screen) so this will be my first experience with a...
Never been given calcium or vitamins.... I can't believe he looks as good as he does, but I should probably reserve that comment till I see him in person.

I noticed the short tail, too, was hoping it was just the angle, but I'll let you know tomorrow - I'm picking him up at 2:00 p.m. He's in a tiny cage: 16" x 16" x 30"!!!!

Thanks, again, GREAT suggestions! I'm not too hopeful that I will get much information out of the owner (he's been very non-communicative, only replies once a day, and then only with one or two word answers). And from looking at the conditions the cham is living in I'm not very hopeful that...
Thanks for the wise words. I am trying to calm myself and keep some sort of balance between the giddy excitement I'm feeling over potentially getting this poor thing and the part of me that says "woah, slow down, woman, you have no idea what can of worms you may be opening up." Obviously...
