Didn’t know this would cause such an uproar. This is coming from a herp vet who has owned chameleons for over sixty years not someone from Reddit! This biggest thing I got from his wisdom was adding a probiotic to his diet. I didn’t even know they had probiotics for reptiles. BTW my boy is...

I have a 50 watt for my panther that I keep at 80 at basking spot and a 75 watt for my veiled that stays at about 89 at his basking spot. I like the splash proof basking bulbs as they last forever and I don’t have to worry about water. You can also lower his basking branch. Whatever is easier. I...

This is a long one but the info I am sharing needs to be heard. My veiled Hunter has a hemipene protrusion that I posted about. After cutting off the blood flow with a rubber band he has continued to go downhill so I contacted the vet and wouldn’t you know it, he is on a three week vacation. The...

BTW from here on out, when her tail sheds I would help to make sure no blood flow gets cut off. Chams heal very slow so have patience.

Well I have used it. It was recommended to me for treating radiation burns by doctors. It worked great but finding it was hard. Got it at a health food store. If it was my veiled, I would use it. That’s just me. It’s derived from a flower.

Thank you Jann. I have a few more grey hairs over this but as long as he pulls through, I will take the gray gladly.

Oh it doesn’t hurt the plants at all. I get a piece of plastic wrap and tuck the sides down at the edge of the soil then put the rest toward the plant and toss on a few rocks to hold it. To be honest, none of these tricks work without the use of a vacuum. They go to the lights. The foam happened...

I just want to inform everyone about what my 4 year old male veiled has gone through. It started as a left pene that would not retract. I noticed that the itgg he Rt half of the vent was clogged and removed debris. I think it was part sperm plug and part molt. Once I pulled everything out of...

Well I cover the soil of all plants with Saran Wrap. You can still water them by pulling it back and replacing it. Then I vacuum up the rest. I also had luck with putting soft foam on top of the screen next to the lights. They went thru the screen then got trapped in the foam.

My vet recently turned me onto beta carotene for the eyes. I get it in the soft gel form put it in the syringe and give them about one to two ml. But carrots are very high in it so make sure you feed your crickets carrots. The doctor said that beta carotene really helps with any eye problems and...

Are the walls to your cage glass? You really need to get rid of the entire floor and have it clean for several reasons. First, she is a female and will think the floor is the floor of the forest and try to dig a hole to lay eggs with no luck. She won’t know to use a lay bin. Next, it is a...

They poop only once a day and the urate is connected to the poop so It’s done at the same time. Also she will pick out a place to poop every day and will pretty much stick to that.

Wow that was great Miss! I never checked out Neptunes kit till now. How nice to have everything that’s right to come with it. Very impressive including the price. The only thing you need to add are plants, vines (get Fluker) and branches. I suggest rubber tree branches as they naturally curve...

Thank you. Can’t wait to sport it!

Thanks for replying Miss just checked on him and it’s shrunk almost to normal so the glycerin worked. The plug is shrinking up so I am sure it’s a plug! He is really pissed at me so later I will put some of the glycerin on a wet cloth and let him sit on while I watch tv. Good idea. Thanks. Btw...

I just wanted to show off the Chameleon pendant that I won at auction. Can’t wait to get it. It’s about two inches long with amber inlay.

He is absolutely beautiful! Since he is a male and it’s not critical to know his correct age as it is with a female for egg laying reasons, I wouldnt worry too much. One way you can tell is to start weighing him. They are pretty much full grown at age 1 year and that’s when you start tapering...

Ok got up to this issue today. My 3 1/2 year old male veiled was hanging there trying to get to a cricket and I saw the first three pics. It looked like it possibly had a hard scab with dried blood on the tip. So I made him a warm soak, put on gloves toook him to the sink and he was battling me...

Your guy has multiple things going on and you definitely need vet intervention as he is on a downward spiral and may have been hiding it for quite a while to get to this point. I didn’t see pics of your setup. Is it bio? Make sure you take a good fecal sample with you to the vet. Use a baggie...

Sylara lovely name. Is she eating more yet?
