    Electra’s egg saga.

    Thankfully I believe she has completed her attempts to give me even more grey hair than I have. I’m taking great pains to ensure she never sees my male ever again. Her little body gave everything in the production of those eggs and left her a saggy bag of bones. She’s fleshing back out nicely...

    What are Some of Your Favorite Songs and Music Videos?

    Just a kid, an out of tune guitar and the song that’s been stuck in my head for about a month. I know every generation thinks theirs had the best music, but mine and the one before truly did.

    Puffy eyes

    Aww…breaks my heart when they are sick. 🥺 Poor baby girl. Nose crusts may be snalt, which is nothing to worry about. The eye crusts are either drainage or shedding - hard for me to tell which, but it looks more like shedding. For the bsfl, they don’t need to be dusted with calcium. One of...

    Puffy eyes

    You want to dust lightly. The bugs shouldn’t look like snowmen. Bsfl don’t need to be dusted at all. I put a sprinkle of supplement in the bottom of a deli cup and let the feeders move around and dust themselves. If it looks like they did get too much on themselves, the excess than be blown off...

    Sorry about your leg and that Neptune is declining. But 14 years! For a veiled! That is beyond astounding! Obviously you’ve provided him the ultimate in care, and caring. Sending you good vibes, prayers and positive juju. 🙏💗

    Puffy eyes

    Glad to hear it! To help with nutrition and hydration at the same time, try some silkworms and you could add a dessert of a wax worm or two for some pure fat. https://framschams.com/collections/live-feeders-silkworms/products/small-silkworms Silkies look to be available.

    Dying plants, any suggestions?

    https://chameleonacademy.com/plants/ This is a great resource for plants. Try putting the Pothos further away from your plant light or even a bit shaded. While it isn’t officially on the lists, philodendron can also be used. It has the same toxicity as pothos. I don’t think it’s as tasty as my...

    Puffy eyes

    Caring for animals can be challenging and chameleons are said to be one of the more challenging. What I do when I notice something not quite right with any of my critters - I give it a short amount of time (usually a few days) to see where it goes. Some things go away quickly and are never seen...

    Dying plants, any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome. :) Hibiscus need extra heavy duty plant lighting. While you have a plant light, I have no idea what it is or how strong it is compared to something like Arcadia Jungle Dawn, which is enough for hibiscus. My second thought is that hibiscus have need for a lot of water and it may...

    How to best clean up?

    Coaxing onto a stick is usually the easiest. I use both hands to distract and confuse as I gently put one hand beneath until I can get a couple of feet holding onto me and then I approach from behind with the other hand to further coax onto the other hand. Hard to explain. Yes, no matter how you...

    Veiled breeding

    Unfortunately, there are no dedicated breeders of veileds because it just isn’t profitable. I would venture a guess that breeding them might even result in a financial loss. As has already been mentioned, you may end up with being unable to find decent homes for far too many of them. It’s a huge...

    Strange face issue, vet confused!

    I just saw this NERD video this morning and it shows the consistency of reptile pus perfectly. Advance to 8:58 if you aren’t too squeamish. While the snake in the video actually somehow expelled that from its respiratory tract, it shows how thick and solid it is and Kevin explains it a little bit.

    Strange face issue, vet confused!

    ^^^^ 100%! First, I would definitely try to find a vet with more experience with reptiles, specifically chameleons. A needle aspirate or tissue biopsy needs to be done before you accept euthanasia as a solution. Reptile pus is a thick cheesy material that does not go away unless it is...

    Puffy eyes

    Do you have an appointment with a vet yet? I strongly advise taking in a fresh poo for her to be checked for parasites while there. That can often be the cause of a picky appetite.

    Update: Eye Issue

    The person who created the list hasn’t been around in a long time and I am clueless how to edit it. I do appreciate that you let us know though.

    Puffy eyes

    Ok, good. In some veileds it has caused puffy eyes and gular edema.
