hi,

for a few days Abe eagerly lapped the repta-aid from the syringe. one day i let him drink .5 cc of it, he was just so hungry/thirsty. but then that ammount dwindled and he refused it altogether. we had him put down yesterday it was a sad day for us all. but keeping him alive was even more painful, i hated seeing him suffer and now he is at peace.

on a lighter note, the vet who saw him knew a cham breeder! and told the guy our story and needless to say i now have a new male free of charge. he is a 3.5 month old "high orange" veiled male. i've never heard of a high orange before, is this a sunburst? because this male is mostly all orange even down to his tail, with green spots. hes really pretty, but a little thin. i'll fatten him up though yesterday he ate 4 waxworms and 3 crickets! hes right about to shed too, so i cant wait to see his true colors underneath. his name is Kal.

i'll get some pics up soon. but i was wondering, he is flat on one side. its really weird. it looks like his ribs go out and then do a 90 degree turn straight down. where the other side of him is curved to his belly. i have heard that chams can "flatten" themselves like a leaf sometimes, maybe he is just stressed and trying to do this? not sure though, what do you think.

Sorry to hear about Abe, but not surprised

Congrats on the new guy!!! You'll have to ask someone else about the "high orange" as I know pretty much nothing about morphs, lines, etc.

They will flatten themselves but it is symmetrical, but where one side is flat it is usually trying to absorb heat from basking lamp. Is he close enough to it?

Look forward to pix!
