    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Not leos, but so cute

I am the proud papa of 5 little Jackson's chams. THey were left at a shop I do business with by the owner, an unexpectant owner of a pregnant female. The owner called me to try to raise them. ANd they are mine to keep. THey are so small it is scary. I am reading all I can and will try my best to raise them.

Fruit flies are the best for baby chams, I usually buy 2 fresh and 2 establised cultures plus a kit so I can make several from the establised cultures. They will often eat fruit flies for 4 - 6 weeks depending on how fast they grow (its been a while for me with jax lol)

UVB, lots of mistings and an 80 or so degree basking area, with the cool being in the low 70's.

I found it was best (the hard way after loosing a few ) to raise them in their own seperate cont. ,of course that can be a pain when the heat lights are needed .

Ive seen a cool setup with small garbage cans all in a row , screen top on each ,and a low watt lamp for each . They (an old friend) would use the longer UV lighting to put across a few of the 'cages' .

I used pinhead crickets too for them at that size .

Someone once told me a larger number of smaller insects will increase growth ,since they can digest it quicker .

And they can eat alot ! They are REALLY cool to watch ,Good luck with them
 
Dan, whoever thought of the garbage can idea is a geneous!..its so simple yet probably veninlates decently with a screen top and keeps mouisture on the sides well too.Hot dog now i wanna raise chams! :)
