Alright yall, today seems to be the day. Our 5 year veiled boy, who has been slowing down, has assumed his 'time to go' position toward the bottom of his cage. He isn't responsive, eyes are open still but almost no movement, we wedged a towel up under him cuz he was dangling a bit in a very...

Update: HE POOPED. It was... a lot. But thank God.

We read it in enough places that we had to give it a shot because the vet couldn't see him for a while and he started rejecting food and was puffy. But we don't plan to do it again. We are adjusting some husbandry and upping the house temperature a bit.

Hes never going to forgive us for putting him in warm water. We had to washcloth him and hold him in the water (I was extremely gentle and his mouth never dipped into the water) because he was biting and scrabbling to get out. We temperature checked with two thermometers, he wasn't too warm...

We are definitely willing to bite the bullet if need be, it's really just been difficult to figure out what is good information and what isn't and these forums seem to be a good place to start figuring that out! Thank you!

P.S. I got a new phone and haven't trained autocorrect and auto fill yet I promise I'm not illiterate

Alright so our almost two year old male veiled hasn't pooped in about two weeks, maybe three that we can find? He's still eating but there was a miscommunication with cage cleaning since my husband and I swap and just didn't realize neither had found poop. Please don't be too harsh as we just...

😂😂 he works on it every day

Mel had been a bit between sheds too, and he was hiding for two days and I was starting to get worried, then yesterday he was out and peely and I was like... oh thats why you were grumpy. I wonder if winter time slows down their shedding? You have a cute baby!!!!

His mister was just going off, I don't tend to hand mist, it offends him greatly lol but thank you for the tip! He seems mostly happy, always hard to tell with a veiled, but he eats aggressively and tries to bite me when I clean his cage so I figure we are good!!!

@melthechamelon I'm gonna follow you!

Mel really doesn't like being sprayed, until he's shedding, and then he basks in it happily (well... as happily as a veiled can)

My husband is the green thumb in the relationship and he is planning on doing exactly that! If they die though because Mel is a monster and destroys everything it is only a twenty dollar hit ??

Orchids are on sale at home depot for twelve bucks for the big ones and eight for the small ones. Never thought we'd be able to afford orchids for him but here we are!!! Tomorrow he gets a cage makeover! (We will effectively clean them all off)
