She started Friday lunchtime. Dug for several hours and then was up in the branches. She resumed digging this morning, and was last seen around lunchtime ~ so, 11 or 12 hours ago. Ok, I’ll leave her to it and hopefully she will reappear sometime tomorrow. Thanks for reassuring me. First...

Last saw her around lunchtime, so 10 hours ago. Which is what was worrying me. It’s 23:00 here now, so the light has been off for 4 hours as has the heating. The heat would come back on if the temp got less than 20 deg c but as it’s summer here, the temp wont drop below 22-23. The slightly...

Any more thoughts anyone?

In answer to the various questions, I think this fills the blanks. I’ve also included a pic of the enclosure, heating/lighting arrangement and one of her taken a few minutes ago. I don’t normally feed her till lunchtime but I offered her a small cricket to coax her from the top corner where...

Hi, I’m a new Cham owner having bought a 6 month old female a few months ago. She shed shortly after we got her and has generally mooched around in the branches of her enclosure and feeds really well. A few weeks ago, I started observing her coming out of the branches and onto the ground of...
