Having sadly lost my little girly earlier this week, I have decided that i would like another. The last few days have been awful and i miss having her character around. The last 1 came from a pet and reptile centre and i want to avoid this route. If anyone can recommend that would be great.

Yes, i think so. Much as i love the more varied colours of other breeds, the veiled is lovely too

It is a possibility that she was not well when we got her, she was housed with others but who knows. The nutrobal will be a no no with the next 1 and i will do everything i can to prevent this from happening again. I have my heart set on another, even after this short time of having her, she...

Sorry, i thought i had added that the bulb was 10%, we only had coils until the tubes needed arrived :O( The humidity was 50/60%. The nutrobal is an everyday calcium and multi vit supplement, also containing d3. After reading the product review from the person who designed/created it, it...

We had 2 bulbs there as that what we had been told we would need but after looking itno it and the eye thing, we had only had 1 turned on. I was up until the early hours trawling to see if i could figure anything out. I suspect she may have had a URI (possibly) as the eye could have been...

We had considered the egg situation and were indeed making a trip this evening to get her lay box finished and installed just incase having read that it was a wise idea to install it in plenty of time. She did not appear to have changed shape in anyway to indicate that she was carrying eggs. I...

I lost my 6/7 month old veiled this evening. She had been back to her usual self over the last 5 days or so after shedding, losing her appetite and having her eye closed for a day or so. The eye resolved itself with showers as advised and she had not shown any more problems with it. It had...

Just a quick 1 to same that the eye now seems to be fine and she is using it fully. Thank you Decadancin for your help and advice, it has been greatly appreciated.

We are indeed keeping a very close watch on her at the moment and dont consider her to be 'fine' just yet. We have the choice of 2 vets and will be visiting/contacting both today, purely to see what their experience is with Chameleons inparticular or if they can recommend anyone with a better...

Today we are happier. The eye causing concern is open almost all the time now with the odd pause of a few seconds. She is as i type this, making the most of some natural sunlight all be it now in a full body shed. We will be keeping up with the showers both of the eye and the shedding. Oh...

Hi Decadancin, Yes that is a red heat lamp in there (150w), at first we did have the lamp on all night but after reading on the net we have started turning it off at night now. What are your comments on the foliage, is there enough, too much ?? We do have a vet close by that is 'zoo'...

Ok so i have, with the help of my OH managed to get some pics up. in the pic the eye is open. We have also showered her, but i have just seen her rubbing the eye on some of her bamboo structure.

the best i have been able to get for now is a few pic on my profile. I viv 1s have come out sideways, im not sure why
