Maryndavid - When Jann was asking about regular fecals, she did not mean did your last chameleon poop regularly - what she meant was had you ever had him tested for parasites. If not, then it could well have been a parasite infestation that caused him to die and not from a genetic problem.

Ah, bless him. :( The survival instinct is a very powerful thing - your chameleon is lucky to have you for an owner, a lot of people would give up on him. There is no reason at all why he shouldn't thrive you are taking the time and effort to hand feed him and look after him so well.

This is what I do (and I've had both my Chams to the vet recently) Do you have a keeper tank for you insects?? I have four and I emptied one, put some paper towels at the bottom, with a couple of sticks so that he wasn't always on the floor. I also put in an artificial plant to fill up...

Scoob - hats off to you for getting him to the vet.... it may be nothing, but to be honest I am exactly the same... any change in habit then I have both my guys straight to the vet, at least then you are ruling out anything physiological.... Keep us posted, hope all okay. xx

So have I.....

Hi everyone, Ghengis is 6 months old today!! I thought I'd show a photo - he is developing into an absolutely beautiful Chameleon. He's a Blue Bar Ambilobe, bred by Jamie Hardie of Chameleoco. Love him to bits! :D

OH MY GOD!!!! That is without a doubt, the best photograph that I have seen this year. Giesle, you are a MASTER at chameleon photography! You should seriously think about producing your own Chameleon calendar with some of your photographs.... I would certainly buy one!! Hats off to you.

Sorry, should have said this in my other post... when you say calcium w/o D3 "most of the time" you should be feeding insects dusted with calcium at every feeding. Sorry to say but it does look like MBD to me... and sorry if the vet has already told you this and I am being presumptuous...

What did the vet say that the problem was, then, if it isn't broken. You mention liquid calcium, is it a bone problem?

Scoob, what UVB do you have??

Jann is an absolute authority on keeping Veileds and when I got my male veiled in May of this year (who is now an adult and the epitome of a p*ssy lizard!) I read everything that she had to offer and it has stood me in excellent stead. Ziggy is still as grumpy as they come, but he now...

It's good that you're stressing - not good for you, obviously, but you are evidently someone that wants to make sure that their new chameleon is going to be okay. Laurie is an extremely experienced member so please follow her advice and fill out the form that she posted, that way we will...

He could have the start of a respiratory infection. I am sure that someone much more knowledgeable than me will be along to help you soon, but noise when breathing, such as a squeak or popping noises, together with bubbles in the saliva or excess saliva can be a sign of this. Keep a close...

Carl that is a really lovely offer, what a lovely thing to do. :D

Absolutely they do.... my adult male veiled saunters out onto his basking branch in the morning as soon as his lights go on, sits there and does the most amazing yawn.... I half expect him to start scratching himself at the same time - he's like a little old man! :-)

Hello and welcome! Super advice from Jann as usual! I think that 15/30 mins a day handling is too much for a chameleon, to be honest.... they generally get very stressed when being handled and too much stress can make them ill. Try and keep the mindset that they are the reptile versions of...

Using one feeder only is not a good idea - it may be easier for you to use worms only but it is not in the best interests of your chameleon. They need at least three different insects fed to them on a regular basis, gut loaded with appropriate fresh vegetables and fruit to ensure that they are...

I don't understand what you are saying here.... I live in the UK and I buy locust in tubs on their own and they are stored on their own. I do keep crickets for one of my chameleons, but all my feeders are bought separately and stored separately.

He could be too warm - chameleons gape when they're too hot, its their equivalent of panting. What are your basking temps?

He's adorable!! I'm a sucker for a veiled!!
