I'm sorry to hear she passed, its very hard losing a pet, these wonderful creatures really wiggle their way into our hearts.. you did what you could by taking her to the vet and she will be very missed. RIP Morpheus

for juvi veileds, as they are still growing, i recommend using calcium without d3 at every feeding. use calcium with d3 once every two weeks and a multivitamin once every two weeks, on alternating weeks. its important to not use the d3 calcium every day as that can lead to d3 poisoning!! if...

she is amazing, very beautiful!! :D what a great plan you two figured out to make her as comfy as possible until she lays those eggs! i wouldnt have wanted to ship her being that close to laying either :)

i dont know of a link for cup feeding instructions, however heres the basics! you can either use a small styrophoam cup, attached to the side of the cage or nestled in the branches where your cham can get to it. or, you can make a feeding station which will last longer in the long run and...

Welcome to the forum! they generally take a week, sometimes even two weeks to get settled into their new enviroment and start eating properly. he may be a shy eater for awhile! i would use the feeder cup for now so that you can monitor how much he is eating and give him another week or so to...

i'm sorry your buddy is ill! with the corrections to your husbandry and a vet visit to get calcium quickly into his system he will hopefully recover fairly well. on the thread about MBD that was linked above it shows cases of MBD and how the chams were able to do after getting the right care...

thanks for clearing that up for me Todd! i didnt think it was true and thats why i wanted to ask. didnt seem very logical :rolleyes: thank you for the readings Olimpia!! very good info to know :) i will look into the Arcadia bulbs! and im glad to know the reptisun 10.0 is a good brand/...

i hope you are able to get her into the vet asap as they do look like large burns that need vet assistance! here is a link to a site where you can search for reptile vets by country and state :) http://www.arav.org/find-a-vet/ as for the waterfall, as others have said it isnt recommended...

very cool pic! it is HUGE! i didnt realize they got that big! wowza :eek:

i also love the first pic, soooooooo cute!!! i cant wait to see the babies from these two! :) so glad you got Moe a lady, im sure he will be thrilled ;)

any update on how he's doing? were you able to get him to the vet?

please let us know how it goes! good luck :)

it did help, thank you! it seems to me if you are using a phosphourus free calcium and there is plenty of foliage it should be okay :) the debates are always quite interesting, i like hearing the different points people bring to the table ;)

poor guy! he looks very uncomfortable and in need of proper care and love. glad you rescued him when you did and i hope he improves! please let us know how the vet visit went today!!! im praying for him :) this thread is on MBD, it has some info on what it is, what it looks like, and how...

i also think its time to seek a vet as it could be an infection since its gone on for so long. is the vet you mentioned experienced in reptiles? i would recommend going to one that is as reptiles, chameleons in particular are much different then other animals! you may be able to find a closer...

while shopping around for my bulb, i read on one of the site sponsors sites to never use 10.0 as it puts out a lot of phosphourus and can be harmful because of that and too much light.. is this legitmate? because i have read of a TON of members using 10.0 with success, as several of you have...

i will definitely give him lots of foliage and pathways so he can move around and get the heat and UVB he needs! :) thanks Deca, i cant wait to get him home!!!!!! i'm making sure my enclosure is perfect before we order him and its gonna be great! im so excited! :D

thank you everyone for your replies and suggestions!! i dont think the T5 HO would fit in my fixture either, it is a regular fluorescent fixture and i have read those need a special fixture. i think for now im going to get a 10.0, probably repitsun and see how that goes! i may adjust it...

awesome! sounds like you got it all worked out :) glad to hear she is doing good!

i'm looking for opinions for what linear UVB to get for my big cham set up. i'm getting a male veiled, he's gonna be 3-4 months old when we bring him home. I have a 2 ft x 2 ft x 4ft screen enclosure and a fixture that holds a 24 inch bulb. so what brands and strength (5.0 or 10.0) would you all...
