It's a tragedy... I'm devastated, it was only a juvenile. I'm so sorry you lost a chameleon for that same reason too... In US dollars he charged me $35. This vet is indeed a mess, I'm thinking of making this story public here in some way so he won't kill more reptiles. If he can't properly...

That is very generous and kind of you! But I probably live very far away from you. I live in the Canary Islands, Spain. But I really appreciate it :) I'm very sad to say that I have terrible news... I got back awhile ago from the only specialized vet on this island. After he examined him he...

It's very late here now, I'm still up so I can keep an eye on him. But tomorrow after I come back from the vet I'll post a photo of him and his enclosure :) I'll try to find a basking spot lamp. And I'm using a 24W full-spectrum fluorescent tube. The enclosure is temporary but I hope I can...

Hello everyone, I've bought a juvenile veiled chameleon a few days ago. Right now he's in a temporary enclosure, but he has a ceramic heat lamp, UV light, a drip system, and I mist it regularly with tepid water. It's a glass enclosure with a screen on the front side. Since I've brought it...
