BEST SUBSTRATE

Hopefully he gets less mean as he gets older haha, ill try that. one way or the other he is going back in his cage. Its his bedtime and I have baseball to watch haha.

Haha....I'm slowly working on mine. My last cham had no problem with me from day one. This guy on the other hand is not my biggest fan. I've just been hand feeding him some wax worms to try and gain his trust. I try telling him that if he would just cooperate he would get yard time but he's just not hearing it. I want to be able to get him outside before the nice days go away.

Yea I understand. So would you say its safe to try and hold a worm or two in your hand and see if he goes for it? And should I wait until he actually willingly uses my hand as a branch before I let him back into the fiscus ? I don't want to reward him for being a jerk to me haha

No, he needs to sleep. I'd be afraid I wouldn't find him in the morning if he was left out. Tonight might be a little late to let the feeder sit in his belly. But starting tomorrow I would start offering him feeders from your hand. I offer palm up, one on the tip of my fingers and always make sure my hand is lower than he is. I've had to wait 20 freaking minutes once for him to finally take it. It takes a lot of patience.

Ok wasn't able to hang it, but I put some more stuff up top and made some more climbing areas. Right now while I am getting his cage set up, I also bought 6-7 foot real fiscus tree. I put him in there. He dosent really seem to like me too much and refuses to use me as a branch when I offer, how do you propose I get him out of the tree and back to his tank. its his bedtime.

Some vines have suction cups, or you could buy some and use twisty ties to attach the vines to the suction cups. Also, if you get small enough vine strands you can poke those thru holes in the top screen to hang, or again use twisty ties to twist around vines then poke those thru the screen. That's what I've done with several of mine and it's worked really well. Looks good so far tho! I like all the plants
