I have one veiled and one carpet and I actually have an easier time with my carpet. A lot of this is just them being different individuals though. I honestly think they're about the same except that veiled have the advantage on being more common in the trade. If you're interested in carpets...

Thank you so much! He hasn't gotten his tail caught in a door but he has taken a fall or two. He never seemed to have a horrible reaction but now I know even a short fall can cause major harm.

Oh, I should also mention that his color has improved. He doesn't quite have his happy colors on, but at least now he knows the difference between hot and cold. He's able to react to the temperature a bit better and able to bask without getting those yellow/white overheating colors. Not sure...

So we did an X-ray at the vet to see if we could get a better idea about his tail; Nick Henn as well as my vet said his bones look great, so I'm not really worried about MBD at this point. Here's what I AM worried about: Decreased appetite even though his energy level has gone up. He...

His primary has been crickets. He doesn't really go for dubia, but perhaps I can train him to get into them if he lives through this. I order silkworms every 2-3 weeks, and for about a week he'll eat silkies. He loves them. I also buy hornworms when I buy silkworms, but they're mostly for...

Ok, good to know. So, tomorrow, I'll definitely try to feed him as much as he'll eat. Should I feed him any special, something fattier than crickets maybe or not really?

I'm feeding him around 8 crickets every other day. He doesn't usually want to eat more than that, but if he lives through this I will definitely try to feed him more Here's another pic that was taken about an hour ago...

Additional update: Right as I was posting the last update, he just fell from his branch!! He's slowly working his way back up to the top, but still... just falling out of nowhere??? My guys in trouble!

Here's a picture of the tail: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154208945729418&set=p.10154208945729418&type=1&theater Also, here's an update: He now has his eyes closed! This is a terrible sign isn't it??? I'm not sure what to do seeing as I just came back from the vet...

Update: I took him to the vet today. Vet said his eyes weren't too sunken. They're still a little sunken, but not so much that she was alarmed. She said he's not so dehydrated that she felt she needed to give him fluids, but that I should just keep doing what I'm doing. On a scarier...

Bump. This morning he looked a little better, I was able to feed him a cricket and get him to drink some water, but now he's super bright again and his eyes are starting to sink again. I'm really worried about my guy. :(

In addition, he seems a bit weaker than normal. His grip is good but he would prefer to not be moving around. His eyes are a little sunken in as well. His lights are out now and I took a quick peek and he's still way too bright. It's definitely not just a mood.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Carpet, male, he's been in my care about a year and he's just a few months older than that. Handling - Every week or so. He's not shy at all and I like to take him outside weather permitting. Feeding - Mostly crickets gut loaded with various dark greens...

Kingdom is right! That little queen is ready for her royal subjects :)

Fantastic! I'm in love with carpets :D
