I don't know if this helps but I had a male veiled cham that was a rescue...He had a similar looking tail problem to that. I did take him to the vet who said he seemed OK overall and the tail end would drop off of its own accord without the trauma to the animal of having it removed. I ws told to...
Just an up date
For anyone who was following this post I am sorry I have not been on the site for a while...Tilly is absolutly fine :) After the eggy mess episode I did consult with the vet. She did not receive treatment and I still dont know what was the cause of her loosing not properly...
A brewing bucket with the top of a pair of tights instead of the lid works well. I don't like touching crickets but with a pair of diposable gloves or a buttie bag over my hand I have no problems ^__^
Thanks for replying so quickly. I do not feel that this has anything to do with urates and dehydration. She has been passing normal poop with white urate, just this today. I know you are advising a vet visit but until I can get one what do you think is the problem here??? She is well in herself...
My cham has been restless wandering all over the viv for a few days now which usually means that she is looking for a mate/expecting eggs. I have put her laying bin in the viv for her. She has layed eggs before with no major problems. She has never been mated. This morning I noticed in the place...
:( Had my male veiled put to sleep yesterday... I'm totally gutted. The vet said we had done everything right for him but it was an old spinal injury that was healling wrong, he had sustained it long before we got him and this had caused him to have problems with his back legs the last two days...
It is possible to use polistyrene blocks/sheets, so long as you are covering it with grout. That is very cheap at hardware stores like B +Q but is also used in packing so if you ask around you may get it for free!
Thanks that is really interesting. So the gravid colours... chams only show these colours if they are with eggs AND a male cham is present right? Sorry to ask dumb questions but my lady cham really does not change much at all.... She has never shown gravid colours.... although I think perhaps...
yes unfortunatly I think that you are right. There seem to be sooo many emotionly damaged children!! It is freightening. I guess that there are many of them who do battle and manage to overcome their situations but many are scard for life and turn into horrible adults. At a place I worked at...
I can not imagin what goes on inside the head of a child like that!!!! I had a pet rabbit a few years back now that was taken from its hutch and kicked to death by a young lad (too young to be held responsible). Actually the rabbit was still just alive and I stayed with it until it passed away...
Hey happy hatch day! Do you think that a burn like your cham had might be the reason for the shape of Romeos cask?

Right OK got you. Well I have not actually lowerd the temperature for her...I just mentioned that I think I need to LOL. The basking temp is about 90. She eats maybe 2 - 5 crickets per day except Tuesday and Friday. Tuesday she either gets a couple of mealies or a locust (if I have them instead...
