Hi all! It's me again. So after you all helped me with our Cam, a few months back, he has done so well. Gained a ton of weight! eating A LOT. 2 nights ago, we noticed, that he was hanging funny. he seemed fine, but yesterday, we noticed he was low in his cage. And this morning, he was all...
Latest update! I think we've officially made the turn! Cam seems back to normal. Roaming his cage, basking, climbing, etc. He showed interest in mealworms first, eating those by himself. For over a week, we literally hand fed him crickets with long tweezers, but this weekend, we noticed he...
Cam Update! Hi all! Sorry for the delayed response, but I have been out of town and am actually in the beginning of another long stretch of travel during the week! First off, I want to give a huge thanks to all ya'll on this board and to my awesome wife, who has been so good with our Cam. My...
Thanks everyone! As promised, here's photos of his cage. The first is a view from above. As you can see, we upgraded to a larger shefalera. Also added more real branches and a fake vine. The new plant covers almost the entire cage.
We have increased the watering. Didn't reduce the...
Update, my wife got a UVB lamp. She turned it on. Also, pet store said to try giving him some chicken baby food, which he has eaten a few times. So far so goof. I will put the cage on a table. Will keep on posting updates. I'm so glad I found this site!!!
The photo with my son was before we put him in there. We have since gotten a larger shefalera that touches all the way to the top of his cage. Lots of foiiage and branches to climb. I will take a photo when i get home.
Not still water Glen. While we are squirting down the leaves, he comes up and puts his head up towards the squirt bottle and drinks as drops land on his head/mouth.
I feel like he gets plenty of water. We hand mist also and he has gotten so used to it, that he even drinks from the water bottle. ONe thing we haven't done, which I just read is the water conditioner. We live in FL so the water is somewhat harsh. Wife is at teh store now getting UVB lamp...
Guys, THANK YOU all sooo much for the insight! We didn't have a UVB light bc we put his cage in front of the window that gets a ton of light throughout the day, but I will buy a UVB light tomorrow! OMG, I feel like such a bad parent! We will enact these changes and I will post with his...
