lost!
my male got out one afternoon, and when i came home form school i was TERRIFIED, i thought for sure my cat had eaten him (despite the fact that the door to my room was shut and teh cat was sound asleep in the basement!)!
after some frantic searching we found him (in my room), he had...
thanks!

My babies are FINALLY hatching... after 7 looonnnggg months of waiting, they've finally arrived! So far we have 16 wonderful and spry little veilds, running around like banshees! Sadly, one of teh little guys has been hangin out in his egg for quite a while, so prognosis seems a little dim for...

currently i have only one male veiled chameleon, but i did have a female and they were housed together in a 6x 3x 3 foot cage... no fighting or undue stress that i could discern

thanks for your help... when we did the original lance we checked out the pus both stained and unstained on a microscope and my vet said it looked like just bacteria... however the antibiotics i took home didnt seem to do a whole lot, except maybe keep it at bay so it didnt grow back...
my male veiled chameleon (about 1 1/2) has had what i believe is an abscess on his head (above his right nostril) for some time... I took him to my vet when i first noticed it and we tried lancing it and antibiotics, and it has diminished by about half its previous size since. My question is...
thanks for everyones help...

I always thought that nose-crust stuff was from overheating, because they dont have sweat glands like humans do, they cool off by evaporation from their mouths and nose, so the salty secretions (from their nose) leave behind the white crystal stuff your seeing. thats always what i assumed it...
thanks
Thanks for your help, i'll try to keep the humidity in check.... its such a bummer to loose two so close together though.
Any hope in keeping the eggs or i should probably just chuck him? :(
I have had a clutch of 29 Veiled eggs incubating for about 6 months now, and the other day one of the eggs was slit open, but there was no sign of any baby. Curious, and thinking it was just infertile, i opened it up to see a baby (!) that was definitely not ready to hatch, it was pink and there...
