thanks guys. i had her drinking from a dripper for a while this afternoon, but the "goo" seems to have gone away. I am not sure what that was, maybe just my imagination and me thinking up things that are not actually wrong. i have been known to do that. she is still at the bottom of the...

Wow that is weird picture, never seen that before. Fun to learn something new.

My female veiled was the same way when I first get her. I got her when she was about 4 months old. She spent the first few days near the bottom of the enclosure and I was pretty sketched out. But as time went on, I would come into the room and she was up in the basking spot but as soon as I...

In addition, I also noticed this morning when I went to hand feed her, that she had some yellowish "goo" looking residue around her mouth when she opened. (she also hissed at me ha) What does this mean? I am assuming something not too great, however just looking for you assessment. I would...

That does not sound good. Is there any other precautions I can take here at home before taking her to the vet? I am using the linear tube UVB Reptisun 5.0.

My 6 month old female veiled, Daisy, I have been noticing, has her eyes closed during the day. I know this is not natural, and I am not sure what this means, any help. Thanks guys.

i recently acquired a female veiled chameleon and just moved it home. she is about five inched long, snout to vent. my enclosure is beyond adequate as i have done this before. she has been home for three full days not and has spent most of her time sitting near the bottom in the pot of a...

enclosure looks fun. the reason for the low temps may be because the highest point of basking would be pretty far below the lamp. you mentioned that you temped right under the bulbs though, soooo i am not exactly sure. if you have another thermometer. try that too in order to insure accuracy...

i also have a pygmy and HE is quite fun to keep. they are so fascinating and so small. to my understanding, the males have shorter tails. mine has a short tail and has never displayed gravid behaviour or tried to dig, so i am under the assumption that he is male. ...just my...

wow. really nice looking cham i always like seeing white coloration for some reason really pretty with the orange contrast.

sorry to mislead you guys, i am not sure what I was thinking when I wrote 2-3 months. he is probably just over a month old, maaaaybe 6 weeks. my friend has experience with other reptiles, but has never had a cham. the feeder cup only ever had 5 or so cricks in it at once. he said when he...

really? i live in canada so i go to rona mostly, but do you not have a or home depot or store of that nature that carries those plants? most home garden centres carry these plants. they are pretty common. That is usually where i get mine from.

Hey folks, I have a male baby veiled maybe 2-3 months old. He has been eating fine and drinking fine, his temps are good, he has a great enclosure...I know the routine... However, I am on vacation in the US (I am from Canada) and I have a friend looking after Owen. I have been communicating...

not that anyone really cares what I think but... Seeing new environments are cool and fun to discuss, but Mucky brings a good point that there are different ways of caring for different animals. But with reptiles they tend to be less forgiving in many ways. Anyways, I can see how some people...

I have seen some really cool set ups on here, where people use one of those plastic sinks as the base (you know one of the ones you may find in a garage or work area, really just plastic square with a drain in centre and four legs) and then there are some screen cages that can literally sit...
