Awwwww I’m so excited! I hoped so but they are so fragile you know? And I messed up and killed my first Cham so I’m all over it any time he looks even a little off. He’s almost 9 mo old now!!
Hey guys! You’ve all helped me so much with husbandry so I thought I’d ask about this coloring change I’ve noticed on my veiled. There’s been no big changes to his viv in the last month, but after his last shed he had this going on in his back ridge.
His poop, eating, drinking, eyes, etc all...
It was a zoomed. I dont think it was really the bulbs fault. I had shown a photo of my viv in here and someone suggested the 10uvb because of some indicators of MBD. I had a plant that was covering most of the top of the viv so the suggestion was good at the time, but about a week or two ago i...
IT WAS THE LIGHT!!!! Thank you so much for your help!! I switched to a 5UVB on Saturday (Friday night technically) and this morning eyes are wide open all day, catching his own crickets and hissing like the angry demon lizard he is! ;)
He burned his head. His basking light was too close to the cage and it heated up the side and caused a burn. He saw the vet for it, had topical stuff... its healing pretty well. I assume its puffy from that and will get better.
Wow i feel like im the worst chameleon owner! Poor dude had two...
Ok so what you are saying makes sense, I changed his plant about a week ago to a shorter plant that didn’t block the light as much. So he may have had less exposure to that same bulb before then. I’ll try the other bulb.
The spray time: my fixture only goes up to 60 seconds and water is pooling...
Ok can I follow up on this? I had previously posted photos of my set up and was specifically advised TO get the 10.0 in the long tube format light. He’s been using that since March with no issues. Is it possible the bulb hasn’t been gradually blinding him since March and he only just now shows...
Not great. He’s been on antibiotic eye drops since Thursday. His eyes have popped out a bit more but I’m still syringe feeding him. I replaced his light bulb today and his color has improved and he’s opening them to hiss at me but he’s still mostly keeping them closed.
On the upside, he’s...
I’m not sure what you mean? I’m not angry with anyone I’m just worried and confused. Even the vet isn’t very helpful... im sorry if it’s coming off weirdly
Vet couldn’t see anything wrong with him other than the eyes. Nothing weird in feces, no swelling or bloating. He opened his eyes for her and she looked at them: both clear no discharge. She said she really had no idea and suggested it could be related to temperature or the fact that his...
