    How many crickets should I give?

    So, female cham, maybe 1 year old, just laid unfertile eggs last week. The guy I got her from last month would give her 30 crickets about every 3 days. I've changed this up a bit since I want to know exactly how many she eats. I've searched all the blogs and Google but can only come up with the...

    When can I remove the egg bucket?

    Eggs! 50!! Ok, I removed the bucket, dug 1/2 way down, discovered 50 eggs!!! I still can't believe all of this. Thought she was a male, threw a bucket in there, down she went, out she came, and there you go, 50 eggs. So exciting even though they're not fertile. I'm glad she made it, I'll be...

    When can I remove the egg bucket?

    O.k. cool, I will take it out this evening after she goes to sleep. Thank you very much! By the way, we're changing Wally's name to Beans. Seems that's a girl lizard's name on the Rango movie... (my 11 year old's idea). After watching her do all that work, seems Joan of Ark is more appropriate!

    When can I remove the egg bucket?

    Yes, I would like to leave it in there... but what I wanted to find out is when can I take it out to remove the eggs and rearrange things properly? Is the day after she came out of there too soon? I just don't want to stress her out, but evidently I need to change out my plants and fix up the...

    When can I remove the egg bucket?

    My supposed "male" laid eggs in the 5 gal. bucket.. but when is it o.k. to remove the bucket? They are not fertile, was a last second effort to get it in there since I thought she was a male... so needless to say I need to rearrange everything. When can I take it out and check it out and give...

    Is my veiled male or female?

    Help with the liquid calcium now I picked it up from Petco, but Wally won't open her mouth except to hiss.. I'm not sure if this is going to work. Bottle says a 1/4 tsp. 3 times a week (I assume this is for ones that just laid eggs?) but how the heck do you get them to take it? I also have...

    Is my veiled male or female?

    She's finally finished! So, Wally stayed in the bucket all night, was asleep at 8 am, started digging again at 9 am, went in and didn't come out until about 3 pm and started filling in the hole. She looked like hell, all covered in sand and skinny as all get out...looked like something the cat...

    Is my veiled male or female?

    Decidedly female So she's still in there, she's got a nice tunnel but I didn't moisten it enough for sure. I can only hope she's ok.

Please tell me if there is another way to tell? He's been digging on the bottom of the cage for a week straight. I've only...
