Yes, it is very wrong for them to claim all that. It is frustrating to me when I give the customer advice based on what I've learned here and they won't listen to me or someone else claims I'm wrong. I suppose there's not much else I can do though, besides try. As far as my store, the...

I don't like the size of the reptile cages we're given either, but I can assure you that I am generally called to give chameleon-related advice unless I'm not available. If there's something I don't know about any animal, I either find a way to look it up or suggest good ways for the customer...

For UVB you'll want a Reptisun 5.0 or Reptiglo 5.0 tube light. Yes, they look similar to aquarium lights. You won't need any lighting at night. For daytime basking you will want either a house bulb or basking bulb. The wattage would depend on the size and type of cage you're using. I use...

It's hard enough trying to get things to the midwest/east over here (most of the good stuff is on the west coast or in Florida), so I'm sure I can't imagine how it is for you guys! I would like to say let me order for you and I'll send it over, but the shipping would still be very high. :o

Alright, the vet was not in when I called, so I weighed Napoleon myself. He weighs 120g, not 160g, so I either heard or remembered incorrectly. With a nose-to-vent length of 6.5 inches, does 120g sound like a healthy weight? I have no issue cutting back on feedings to help with weight. I...

Just to be sure I understand you correctly, do you mean that you think there is something stuck in his eyes? I am currently suspecting that myself, because he is cleaning his eyes more than usual and I just saw him rub one on a vine. His eyes are still clear, no pus or other fluid coming from...

Here is the newest sample.

I will prepare new gutload with some of those ingredients tomorrow. I'll also get a picture of his next stool. I'm interested but very nervous as well.

If you wondered about the supplements, I use ZooMed Repti Calcium w/o D3 most feedings, Fluker's Calcium w/ D3 two times per month, and Rep-Cal Herptivite two times per month.

I've been using a ReptiGlo 5.0 tube for UVB since I got him. I haven't been able to find ReptiSuns in my area but if you think that would make a difference I will start to order them. I change the bulb every six months because I read that even though they last up to a year, the UVB output goes...

I added a pothos plant last week. I'll try removing it if I still notice the swellings or sacks tomorrow. I don't know if they can have allergic reactions or not, but the only things that have changed for him recently are: the pothos, the shower curtains (on two sides of cage to help maintain...

Any opinions guys? I'm really wondering what could make it get so big then so small, and so quickly. He doesn't seem to have the correct symptoms for kidney disease. He is not weak, eats normally, sleeps normally, and looks normal other than these bulges that seem to come and go. I'm open to...

Sorry for disappearing guys. I got a vet appointment at the same time that I was making the post. I then had to go straight to work after the appointment so this is my first chance to get back. The swelling was magically down by the time I got him to the vet. The vet inspected my husbandry...

Here is the original thread (includes my answers to the How to Ask for Help form): https://www.chameleonforums.com/veiled-eye-63675/ I made this one hoping I would get some fast answers. I thought I was being a worrywart before, but now I can tell he's got little balloons on the fronts of his...

Schefflera, if I understood correctly, has a low level of toxicity. It only becomes dangerous if a very large amount is ingested. I would be far more worried about the pothos. You may want to remove it if he's eating a lot of it. I believe that the toxins in some ficus are located in the...

If you feel that you are set up and ready, it is your choice whether you want to get a hatchling or juvenile. Hatchlings are probably more delicate of course, but I'm sure you wouldn't be the first person ever to try a hatchling as your first. I'm sure you also wouldn't be the only person who...

I don't know about money trees. My veiled likes to eat a leaf or two off his schefflera every so often. It's a fairly easy plant to keep alive, too. Dracaena is safe, but it won't provide a very stable perch.

From the little bit I was able to find online about female dragon care, it sounds as though you need to worry about similar things to those you worry about with female chameleons, in the cases of calcium intake and need for a laying bin with damp soil/sand. You could increase the calcium of the...

I can get orchids at a store called Meijer (don't know if you have those around you). I'd be more inclined to search for nurseries though, since I'd be able to ask the employees if any pesticides were used on the plants.

Thanks! Hnn... it's looking as though the humidity (and a hungry cham) could destroy the orchid. Have you tried schefflera or pothos? You can get both pretty small (and pretty cheap).
