If the insects is smaller (from side to side, not head to butt) than the space between the chameleons eyes, then they can eat it.

I did have an experience where reptaid got rid of mouth rot in two of my chameleons. I had an appointment for both, and started using the reptaid in the mean time. When I brought them to the vets they didn't see any signs of mouth rot. I have also had reptaid not help even a little though. I...

Well, the first thing is that he needs to eat way more than 4-6 crickets a day. Hatchlings should be eating as many as they can in about 10 minutes 2-3 times a day. Make sure they are proper size. It is small enough to eat if the insect is smaller than (from side to side, not head to butt) the...

I prefer using heat pads/mats or heat tape under the tub for roaches. The lights dry out the cage more, and they prefer darkness to breed the best.

Be sure to disinfect the cage with hydrogen peroxide (40 volume peroxide from a beauty supply store will kill parasites and what not.) A 2 month old veiled will be much more likely to thrive in your care than a hatchling. I would also suggest filling out the how to ask for help form just so...

They make plastic tubs that have locking/sealing lids that should work well. You will need to cut out some sections either in the lid or sides and glue in some metal screening (non-metal will be quickly cut up by curious cats.)

Well good for you for doing such great things for these little guys! I know, I always encourage friends and family to spay/ neuter pets, but sometimes you just can't convince people (and they have the lamest reasons too! Hello?! Neutering your dog isn't going to make you less of a man...)

Definitely could be excessive grooming. They make little onesie PJ looking suits to help cats stop the licking (they look funny and sad at the same time...) If it seems like nothing else is wrong, and it isn't red/swollen/etc. I would just keep an eye on it and try to stop him if he licks at it...

I haven't had an issue with it yet. A few bigger males and a mellers have done this and they all did just fine. A couple looked a little surprised at first, but otherwise everything went along smoothly. Plus roaches have a fairly big opening in their rear end, so I would assume that is where the...

Are the insects the appropriate size? Any variety? A feeder is small enough to feed if it is smaller (from side to side, not head to butt) than the space between her eyes. However, sometimes a feeder looks like it is small enough, but some animals are intimidated and won't eat them. You should...

While the care is similar and there might be some minor differences, each individual animal is different. Some panthers like basking temps a little higher and some veileds a little lower. Some like more water, some seem to do best with less. I remember a keeper who had this one particular veiled...

Sounds normal to me then.

Try hydrogen peroxide and see if that helps. It will probably bubble for a while. If it stops, pour some more on there and see if it keeps going. I prefer to use the "creme" 30-40 volume peroxide from beauty supply stores because it stays better and the higher the volume, the stronger it works...

I prefer minerall and the repashy calcium plus LoD version. I have been mixing my LoD with plain calcium at a 40/60-50/50 ratio for a little while now and I like it. It makes me feel comfortable in that I am not using more D3 than I am comfortable with, but that I can also use it just about...

Some faly and nosy be can look similar, especially when one doesn't have the experience factor to see the sometimes subtle differences. Some Be's have quite a bit of red spots, but generally won't have them outlining the bars like Faly's do. Some Faly's are low-white which further adds to the...

Oh my gosh, that is adorable. If I could handle the round the clock care and had the time, I would be taking in puppies and kittens left and right. I'm sure he will have a wonderful home with you :)

These pictures are cute! My veiled doesn't have a tongue, so he has gotten in the habit of biting the hornworms and then pulling them out and holding them with a hand while he gets it in the proper position to eat it. I'll have to take a picture next time he does it! Looks like he is smoking a...

A photo might help. How much do you feed her?

I can't recall seeing a male veiled with a bulge quite like that. Is this new? If he's always had it, it is probably normal. If it's new, it could be impacted sperm plugs causing the bulge. Is it squishy?

I was careful with them, so they only ever bit me (who knew they could bite so hard?!) Just be careful, and adding a piece of fruit/veggie to the bottom on the cage might help if you free feed. I did see them attack other crickets for no reason though. They had plenty of food and then just...
