my cage is 3 feet by 5 feet high, the basking spot is 95 for my chameleon and about 84 is ambient temp, the cage is in the basement room so its a little colder, and cage is full mesh so its hard to keep heat in that's why I use 2 bulbs at 100 watts
Hey so I just added a large plant to my enclosure, im not sure what it is, it didn't have the tag but im pretty sure its a fern, and I asked the guy if it was toxic and its not so its a go, but the top parts of the leaves are dying after like 2 days, I have a 18 inch 10.0 uvb bulb and one 100...
Hey, I'm getting ride of my coil uvb bulbs( Don't trust them ), and I just went out and got a Aqueon Deluxe Full Hood, it comes with a 18" t8 full spectrum lamp, I was wondering will this give enough UVB ?, never used the full spectrum long tube lights before not sure what it rly does
okay so I have a one year old veiled, about 3 weeks ago both his eyes closed and he will not open them, I took him to the vet and because they couldn't see his eyes they gave me batril encase its an infection, I have been giving him the batril shots and force feeding him and giving him water...
okay, well I cant rly post the how to ask a question part because, he has been moved into a 10 gallon tank with a 60 watt light and a dripper basically, he has a 100 gallon mesh cage but he cant be in it due to the fact he cant open his eyes so he will hurt himself falling, could it be the...
Okay so my male veiled chameleon started to keep his eyes closed about 2 weeks ago, he wont eat or drink on his own so I thought I could try to fix it by changing humidity levels and everything but nothing worked, so I took him to the vet three days ago and they said they couldn't get his eyes...
hey, so my veiled has been having some issues with closing both his eyes and just sitting there, I got advice from a vet that it was to dry in the cage so he was dehydrated and that's what's causing the eye issues, so I went out and bought a mini humidifier that sits at the bottom of his cage...
Hey I think I can help, I just had the same prob it was like that for weeks and weeks and I fixed it, do u have light right next to the cage that he goes under of so move it farther back, my Cham was getting to close to the bulb when he basked and it was dryin out the eye, that's why he's trying...
thanks for the advise, I removed the reptile bulbs and just added 100 watt house bulb and it leaves his basking spot at 87.6 which is perfect and he seems happyier
So my male veiled is about 9 months old, he has been closing one eye recently and rubbing it on the sticks, now I have given him a few showers just in case there is any debree in his eye but it doesn't look like it, when hes out of the cage his eyes are perfect and normal which makes me think...
His other eye is the same is does not rly close that much, once and awhile I notice both eyes closed for a small period but normally it's just that one eye, what other signs of infection would there be ?
yeah I just gave him a warm shower and turned off the uvb light to see if that's the problem, ill attach a photo please give me some advise to what u think could be causing this
yeah ill go look at the pet shop see if I can get that higher bulb, ill rinse his eyes now, and if worst comes to worst ill hit the vet if I can adjust things to make it better
okay so I took a picture there for u because my veiled seems to be shutting his eyes a lot when he's in his cage and when I take him out, normally just one at a time, he eats and drinks normally I have a 5.0 uvb bulb, his poop is brown with the white that shows he's not dehydrated but from the...
I agree that he needs a dripper, icecubes wont help, its very simple to make a dripper, use a Gatorade bottle or a Tupperware box and just poke a whole at the bottom with a tac, if it comes out to fast just stick a thin sliver of a toothpick or wood and that should slow down the dropping speed...
just let him rest, look for a sting spot in the morning and be sure to remove the stinger if there is one, the venom from a wasp is somewhat of a hemotoxin which will slow down his heart which is most likely why he is hanging there do to the low amount of blood and oxygen somewhat acting like...
