It is not vibrational like a purr and is best described as a high pitch LOUD squeal. This does not seem like a distress air movement as in an infection or compromised airway. I'm a veterinary nurse and it does not seem like a respiratory situation at all, or at least any typical respiratory...

I'm hoping to catch this and get a video but recently my 4 year old male veiled started making an occasional super high pitch sound (like a squeal) at night. Has anyone experienced this before? I've tried to research information about sounds and haven't been able to verify that this type of...

Great salamander pics! We love looking for salamanders around our house and woods. We call my herp obsessed son Commander Salamander. :D Thanks for sharing the photos.

He did wander about the house when he was downstairs and in a large room with a cathedral ceiling. I think the sheer size of the space overwhelmed him and he was looking for a more secure area. He seems much happier in the bedroom and only wanders a few feet from the tree along the window ledge...

I don't think Chamnovice took the picture. It is a common picture found on quite a few websites. It is a very cool pose. Mantis deserve respect and are great creatures. I cringe when I read that people just kill them because they are afraid of them or don't like them. They do a great...

He's doing great! I decided to move him to a bedroom with less traffic. His floating tree is now in the corner and I hung a dark green shower curtain on the wall behind the tree. The shower curtain keeps the corner area darker for when he feels insecure and as a bonus catches the drips from...

Very sorry for your loss. He was lucky to have had such a caring owner.

I hope this photo turns out. I am concerned about a dime sized white patch over my chameleon's right eye. I've only had him 5 days and I thought that it was a piece of shed left over and it would drop off but it is still there. I've been misting him with warm water several times daily. I almost...

I have yet to see him eat or drink. I haven't measured humidity yet, I've just been misting him and the plant several times a day. His crickets and zoophobes are untouched. I try to leave him alone as much as possible in case he doesn't want to eat in front of me, but I count them later...

Thanks for the response and links. I've been reading up on caring for a Veiled for several weeks now and did not go into this adoption lightly. I thought I would write the forum and get some real life experience of what has worked for others and recommendations about what type of locations have...

Hello. Several days ago I became the proud owner of a 3 year old male veiled. He looks beautiful and for the past three years has been kept on a cage-free chameleon condo or canopy tree. It consists of two large (30 gallon) pots suspended from the ceiling, with a large Shefflera plant and...
