Not the worst news I’ve seen people receive. Thank you for caring. Thank you for saving this sweet boy. I truly believe there is a special place for people like you. And a different kind of special place for people who neglect animals, especially those they willingly take on responsibility for...
If you’d like, I can provide you with the husbandry review form so you can make sure you have everything just perfect for her. It’s a lot to take in and learn at once and there is a lot of conflicting information on the internet. We are a very welcoming and non judgmental bunch around here and...
That looks so good! When I got my guy he had the double dome fixture as well. Now that I have the correct UVB, I keep one bulb in the double dome for heat and the extra one I put a plant bulb in. It’s not as good as the bar style plant lights, but it works! Something to keep in mind when you get...
I just want to welcome you and this little guy. I won’t add much advice as MissSkittles already has covered it. You are in a great place and in great hands with her. She is one of the best. THANK YOU for saving this sweet (or grumpy it sounds like 😂) boy. I’m glad he’s still got some fight in...
Good! I’m glad I could help in that aspect. Everyone here is just as welcoming and helpful as these two. It’s nice because different people have different ‘specialties’. While one may know a ton about veiled chams, someone else will know about panthers, someone else will know about egg laying...
I just want to say hello and welcome. I want to chime in and let you know my experience here. I hope that it will ease your mind a bit.
When I first got my guy he was in a bad way. I had little knowledge, but I found my way here. I adopted my veiled from someone who no longer wanted him. Due...
I’ve no experience with babies so take my advice with a grain of salt. When my adult veiled has a similar issue, and extra mistings weren’t solving it, I gently dropped plain saline water into his eye a few times. This helped him more directly clean it out.
Thanks everyone! He says hello! He’s doing well, always curious and exploring, coming up to the front of the enclosure to say hi and ask for bugs. He always seems to be either shedding or has a bit of shed left. He’s yet to have a perfectly clean shed, always seems to have some that sticks...
Yep I see a spur too!! So the more whit there is, the more hydrated. It looks ok to me. You want half or more white. I bet he is just stressed. It can take two weeks for them to settle in to their new home.
Do you think they are sunk in? If that’s the case, watch the urates. Stress can cause that to happen too and moving to a new home is definitely stressful. Do not manually give water yet. It’s risky cause the airway is in the front and you can aspirate him. I think he looks fine personally. Are...
With MBD he would be weak, falling, loose grip, grabbing his front legs with his back feet. As long as you have the correct lighting, change the bulbs when needed, and correct supplements, MBD shouldn’t be an issue. Your guy looks pretty healthy. I know they are stressful and worry us all the...
