    A little thread of love for a fellow reptile

    While Nachito no longer blesses me with her presence, I still want to share another scaled family member that I’m lucky enough to live with and learn about. My roommate has this spunky little Crested Gecko named Pizza Crust. She is a hungry little monster and constantly stairs at us with her...

    The End of Our Journey: Saying Goodbye to Nachito

    Hey cham family, my heart is shattered when I tell you that Nachito crossed the rainbow bridge last night. After her little crash last week, we started surveying her activity and looking at her quality of life. Just before the weekend we decided that, while she was getting a little more active...

    Fighting with Humidity, any advice?

    Hey guys! Just hopping in here in the hopes to get some advice! Since moving back into my dorm I’ve been struggling really hard with keeping Nachitos humidity up without misting the daylights out of her. I can spike it to about 80% or more but it only lasts about 10 minutes before dropping back...

    Bsfl climbing walls, crazy little critters

    I just realized my bsfl are climbing their tub walls. I know it’s because they got over heated and most likely very humid but it’s so insane to see them all cluster at the top. It’s actually ended up accidentally killing all the pupated flys… So anyone out there, keep you bsfl away from heat...

    This just makes me sad, pet stores, please do better

    Sorry to post this as it make me sad but I had to go to the pet store to restock my calcium supplements and I saw this poor girl. No laybox and eating the moss. I wish I could help her but with college and dorm life I can’t get anymore reptiles besides Nachito. Ugh it makes me want to puke.

Since it isn’t a specific date I would just say now, happy third hatchday Nachito! Despite everything you have been through and all the stress you...

    Week of moving home, temporary enclosure?

    Hey everyone! I learned recently that during my fall and spring breaks, I have to go home for a week and can’t stay in the dorms. So I’m not really sure what to do with Nachito during that time. I few like a week is to short of a period to take down her entire enclosure and transport it home...

    Food Dilemma, won’t eat roaches and silkworms won’t be here until midweek

    Hey guys, I have an issue, my silkworms I ordered won’t arrived until after I’ve moved and I won’t get them until later this week. I have two surviving silks from the last batch and that’s all Nachito wants to eat right now, as she’s not interest in roaches (they all died too rip) I’ve searched...

    Tail discoloration: bruised, burned or something else?

    I really thought we were on the mend 😞, but I'm unfortunately back with another possible problem. When taking Nachito out to weigh her, I noticed that the end of her tail was very very pale, with a few black spots here and there. I have no idea what's wrong, I don't think she could have gotten...

    Here is a weird question, can a chameleon go receptive when already diagnosed with follicular stasis

    Hey guys! Here is a strange question, as stated above can chameleon who have been diagnosed over a period of months to have follicular stasis (from ultra sounds and xrays) become receptive? Nachito has been absolutely pacing the top of her cage for the last few days and I have no idea why, as I...

    Do chameleons dream?

    So I just had this thought, do chameleons dream? Cause Nachito has the most clear dark angry spots I’ve seen but she’s sleeping (I am watering her plants cause I forgot to and road trip tomorrow so that could be it but I SWEAR she’s asleep and her eyes are closed) And it’s crazy, now they are...

    Silkworms! How to hatch eggs?

    So my friend recently bought some silkworms for his crested gecko and they pupated. Due to them being to large for his gecko when moths, we did a swap and now I have some silkworm cocoons! Well I was waiting for them to emerge from their cocoons and two did and have already started breeding :O...

    Swelling still pretty bad, should I just leave it or contact her doctor again

    So Nachito swelling still is pretty bad and I know we decided that she would be on hospice, but should I take her into the vet again to just get a health check and see if I can help her legs for the time being? The grip on her right leg isn’t doing great and it seems she has a little trouble...

    She’s crazy! And escaping XD

    So I got this plant for Nachito to hide in when we went on a little field tip to my vet class (she did great). So now I’m using it as a little free range area for her just outside of her enclosure. And well she’s interesting the window 😅
