Can anyone translate one of the veiled caresheets into Spanish?
I have a friend in Mexico that someone smuggled a baby female veiled to him last year. She was about 2-3 months in Oct and doing real well even in Dec. I told him as much as I could about housing and the care and how important UV light was etc. He got her set up in pretty good shape and I got her a schefflera for her cage. But when we got back down there in Jan, she had pretty severe MBD. I tried to stress getting her into the sun, etc, but I could tell she was too far gone by that point. We just went back last week and she had died. He even took her to the vet, but the vet didn't even know what kind of lizard it was.
Anyway, he told me the person that brought him the first (from Ohio) one was going to bring him a pair later this year. I would probably say he shouldn't have one, solely for that fact that he doesn't have access to the right equipment like supplements, etc. But the fact is I can't stop these Ohio people from bringing him others. Next time I go, I'll probably bring an old single tube fixture with a UV bulb and some cans of supplement.
I think a veiled could thrive there, it's humid enough and the temp range is right in the veiled wheelhouse year around, he just needs better husbandry skills.
To make a long story longer , he speaks English well enough conversationally, but I think a Spanish care sheet would get across the real importance of the things I've been telling him, plus give him some sort of reference to look at when someone like me isn't around.
Any help would be appreciated.
