These guys are so cool - I used to live on St. John and they were terrifying when I saw them!

I'm so sorry he's gone - he was such a beautiful little man!

I absolutely understand about not feeling comfortable enough about speaking out and I'm sorry you had to go through this. Clearly you won't be going back to this vet, and you may want to email the vet that they are connected to and let them know what happened so that the professionals can...

You are absolutely on the right path and Beman is an excellent keeper to help guide you. One important thing to remember is that you just got him, so EVERYTHING there is new to him. He was checking it all out, learning about his new environment, and now that he's seen it all he's slowly...

Is this veiled still available? I just lost 2 of my boys to old age and am looking to give a new one a good home.

I'm so sorry to hear this - if you do believe he is passing, place him back in the cage, in a spot where he can't fall, and turn out the lights, letting him pass in peace. This is only to be done if he is truly at the end, but the wildly changing colors would seem to indicate that he is.

When I started keeping reptiles I did my research on here and jumped in with a male panther. I had never owned a reptile before, but 15 years later I'm thrilled that I did. I've kept both panthers and veileds, males and females. For me, personally, I wouldn't get a female again but that's a...

I've raised them before and my guess is your room is too cold. You may have eggs, but they are microscopic and taking longer to hatch due to the temperatures. I'd try a heating pad and just give it some time. It does take a little time to get started, but once you do you won't have to buy...

They can break down and not be as effective over time - and yes, this includes human meds! So yeah, follow the expiration dates - it's WAY cheaper than vet visits to fix issues down the road

Yes, thanks for that catch, I truly did mean Aren't! Sorry for the mis-type!

Hello and welcome! Yes, you have a female, I'd put her age at 5-6 months, which means you need a laybin in the cage with her. You are off to a good start, but may I recommend that you read the care files on here which I think will help guide you in the right direction. Mealworms are the...

I take my boys to the vet in Orlando which is a 7 1/2 hour round trip for them. I use mesh pop-up laundry hampers with a fake vine zip-tied to it. I put a small towel in the bottom for any accidents, and cover the open top with another towel that I clothes pin shut to the top of the hamper...

I'd consider the temperature of the room, how many people will be in there, how far from them she can be for the duration of the class, how many would be handling her, and how receptive she is to attention. I've thought about this from time to time, and generally come down on the side of being...

Yes, this is a good time. Also, make sure you are checking her temperatures to keep her on the cooler side of the basking range. These things as much more well stated above will help reduce her clutches and potentially keep her from producing eggs at all.

I'm so sorry to hear this Jann! Turk is slowing down, and I think it will be his turn sooner rather than later

https://ipardalis.com I wasn't able to find what I was remembering on the iPardalis site but they might know how to help, and the Chameleon Academy archives aren't up to date but I'd start there.

If I'm remembering correctly the guys at IPardalis can identify the locale - I remember hearing something about it on the Chameleon Academy podcast a year or so ago, so you might want to check them out. I'd say Nosy Be as well, but I'm not an expert by any means.

Seems to me like there's probably something else in that spray because I use hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip to kill mealy bugs and it's never smelled. Perhaps it's the quantity used, but my guess is something else is in the spray. Maybe rinse the plants in water to rid them of the smell? As...

They did such an amazing job!

He's just so beautiful!
