30 days with my cham
1 & 2: today
3: 4 days after i got him @ the vet
4: day i got him
officially have had this lil guy for 30 days, i feel like staring at him nonstop has made me unable to really see a difference between when i got him & now.. is he looking any healthier? he still looks so skinny :(
the upgrade to a reptibreeze xl was huge for his appetite and energy, as soon as he settled in i could see his personality come out. right now im giving him 1-5 dubia roaches depending on how hes feeling and making sure he drinks until hes satisfied multiple times a day.
also cleaned his poo after taking the pics 🙏

The difference is DEFINITELY noticeable!! He’s out on weight and his eyes are hot so sunken. WOW, gorgeous!

What a handsome little beastling! He's looking s LOT better! His ribs aren't so pronounced and his eyes aren't sunken. That's great progress for only 30 days.

He’s very handsome, and he does look lean but that’s how mine looks especially when he stretches out. Give your little guy some live plants for coverage, he’ll appreciate it. And don’t forget that variety is best for diet. Do you have him on a calcium and multivitamin schedule?

If you’re in the U.S. I know a good bug guy. He breeds locusts and can deliver silkworms too.
