I'll probably try to sell them on various forums, craigslist, and local "mom & pop" pet/reptile stores.

Too expensive a feeder. It's not like I don't have enough feeders already and if I needed some cash isn't a problem.
Photobucket finally updated the "enhanced" photo of my female shedding. Whoah is right and the colors are awesome. She has just about completed her shed and i will see if i could get a good PJ shot tonight.

Are there any cham sp.s you would recommend to a complete noob? I probably won't get one, but, between the baby pics and your pics, im getting sorta hooked.

I don't know if this is going to work, but this is the color progression of my male veiled from being woken up to being a little grumpy. "PJs to Po'd" :lol:

In my experience and the experience of friends in CA and FL who breed them we went through alot of FF for the first 2-3 weeks then onto HF and other feeders. Our hatchlings usually required 1 producing culture for every 2 chams for this time frame they will really go through them. But I would have atleast be sitting on a dozen cultures come time to hatch. I start getting massive amounts of emails for FF int he spring from Cham breeders and its never less than a dozen cultures at a time.

My male was mad today.
He attacked my robe and then bit my arm through my robe. Thee nasty little SOB! :angry: I got some of the attack on video, which is uploading, but this is him biting my robe and the bite on my arm. The little bugger got the soft backside of my upper arm. If I hadn't have been wearing my robe, he surely would have taken a piece of me.

The yellow line in his open mouth are all tiny,serrated, and very sharp teeth. He was only able to get a little "nip" due to the bathrobe, but it still broke the skin. If the teeth had been on skin, it would have been a lot larger and possibly missing some flesh. 
Lol somehow im not surprised

Here I am, not wanting to handle chams very much on account of the grip that they do with those feet. :surrender:
At least they let you know that they don't want to be bothered. lol

Hey Scott, youve had them now for over a year, do they ever get used to you? (Like form a bond) ....or does your male just dislike you....A LOT?

They are "semi-tolerant" you might say, but my male just seems really moody lately. This was the first time I ever experienced this type of aggression with him. I thought he might be mad, because I didn't let him get with my receptive female. I decided to let them have some interaction and he just bolted straight towards her in his dark colors and lunged at her. He was snatched up and put into his cage and is on "time out" for the time being. He hasn't really been eating much, so something might be "off" with him or he might be heading towards a shed. Hopefully a shed is coming, because I don't like this attitude he's been throwing. He's really been giving me the stink eye. Oh well, what to do?
too much testosterone maybe?? i'd try to change something in his environment that might be causing this
amphibian males develop testosterone after a period of cooler, shorter days
maybe if u cool him down a few degrees or shorten the daylight cycle he'll not be in mating season mode anymore??? i'm goin out on a limb here but it could work...

It's always mating season for males. :lol:
It's mostly dependent on the females receptiveness whether any mating takes place. He did not put on his "look at me" colors as posted previously, so I don't even think mating was on his mind. He is just wanting to be a holy terror. He comes up the the front of the cage and just stares at me, like saying, "Do you dare? Come on, open the cage. I got something for you". :lol:
I hope it's just a phase or a shed coming, because I kinda don't like him so much after that action.

Right now I have 2 clutches incubating with 50 eggs each. I don't see veining in a few eggs from the first clutch, but they haven't molded or caved in. The second clutch isn't showing anything yet, except that none have molded or caved in since laid in January. That's a good sign. I will have plenty of babies to deal with and might let her lay her next clutch without mating. They can retain sperm from earlier matings for future clutches, I think. Maybe some of the next clutch will be fertile even without mating.
