Handsome guy!

So sorry for your loss and we're pulling for your female. For medical costs, our vet recommended CareCredit (think the website is CareCredit.com). Easy to apply, got the account number immediately and was able to pay for our male veiled's emergency surgery without worry. Our vet offered 18...

Here's the latest on our male veiled Neil. The exploratory surgery on Monday went OK, in that he made it through. He has a beauty of an incision, with about 4 stitches, as well as a couple stitches in his intestine. Vet found no blockage, which is rather what we were hoping for if only...

Oh, tmai, I'm sorry to hear that. Sending positive vibes your way! Our 9-month old male veiled had exploratory surgery on Monday and they think he may have kidney disease (his urates looked great for about three months, then he just stopped going altogether). He had a hydration issue early...

My last post: https://www.chameleonforums.com/gas-intestinal-blockages-139870/#post1196558 After three weeks of meds and no BM in over a month, we decided surgery was our only recourse. Neil went in around 12PM today. We're hoping they find the blockage and our guy gets back to his feisty...

We've been giving oral meds to our male veiled for about a week now, but have the luxury of two sets of hands. I gently hold Neil in my hands (I cup them and let him rest in the middle) being mindful of not putting my fingers over the top of his back, but with them close enough that he can move...

Thanks for the reply, Carlton. We gave him his first butterworm on Tuesday, and he ate it right away. But the next day he was so bloated and uncomfortable, we stopped. That's when we took him to the vet for the 3rd time. He hasn't eaten a cricket for over a week. Other than the one butterworm...

This is long, but I really need some insight from anyone who has raised veileds. Our little guy is so uncomfortable :( I've posted this info before, but here is an update: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Neil. Veiled, male, approx. 9 months old. We've had him about three months. Handling -...

Our male veiled drinks from a similar set-up as the leaf dish, only we used a small plastic lid mounted at an angle under the dripper. The drops fall on the leaves, then into the lid, then collect in a small bowl on the floor of the cage. A very small amount of water collects in the lid...

Thanks for the reply, Carlton. We mist with a spray bottle several times a day and use a humidifier every so often. We also have a dripper, but no humidity gauge yet. Since our current plants are plastic (going to live shortly), and they don't hold much water, we rigged a small, shallow jar...

Hi - I posted last week about our 8-month old male veiled Neil. He'd not been pooping and we were concerned. Right after my post (my first), I discovered that we were not using the correct bulb - no UVB, just UVA. I'm very thankful that carol5208 identified the light issue, as I think our...

Hi - My name is Suzie and my son Trenton is a new owner of a male veiled named Neil (after Neil Armstrong). He works in a locally owned pet shop and fell in love when the shop owner brought in a couple of chams last December. My son worked extra hours to save up, but was afraid someone would buy...

Update: he's very shaky :( Update: he's now just laying on his branch. Has been for two days :( He's had a drink or two of water from the dripper, but no eating. And no pooping. The way he's laying on the branch seems odd, too, like he's weak. And when he moves, like to turn around, he's very...

Neil is my 16-year old son Trenton's first chameleon.

Thanks, carol5208. Appreciate the advice. Regarding the night light, it's actually a 50W night black heat light, so he's in the dark at night :). The day light is full spectrum UVA - we'll be replacing it with a UVB bulb shortly. The enclosure is slated for upgrade soon, too. He's grown quite...
