Next update. Used the 50/50 water and Gatorade mix, and gave Avi an extended misting and he went to town drinking. I can honestly say that is the most I have ever seen him drink. He was lapping drops off a hibiscus flower, licking drops off the screen, opening his mouth for mist, even climbed...

Time for an update. We turned off Avi's UVB bulb and a while later, his eyes opened. My fiancée dusted 10 crickets and he ate 7 of them. Regular mistings and then we leave him alone to relax. So on the agenda for this weekend: find a regular 40 watt incandescent light bulb( damn you energy...

I want to add more branches to tier his set up a little more and was wondering what type of tree branches are acceptable. I already know how to heat treat them, I'm just not sure what is safe. Suggestions welcome.

Yes, it was indeed the PETCO in Upland Square. Ironically, the other little male veiled they have was larger than Avis when I got him. 2 weeks later, he is smaller and looks weak. I knew better than to trust the pet store and should have purchased from a reputable breeder, but I saw my little...

Just got back from the vet, and it was encouraging. While Avi is a little dehydrated, he is still in overall good shape. His eyes show no outward sign of infection. His breathing is good and not labored. Now as a precaution, since he is so tiny and the exam possibilities were limited, he was...

Jann, I meant to try using the bulb during the day instead of the 60w blue bulb. At the moment, I don't have any lights on. Trying your advice to see if light is part of the problem.

Another quick question. I have a 60 watt nighttime heat bulb. It emits heat, no light. Anyone think it's worth a shot?

Here's a few pics of his cage. Sorry about the lighting and picture quality. Again this was a last second switch.

Will try to get some pics of his cage up. Right now, his set up isn't really tiered anymore. I panicked when kinyonga suggested his tall plant wasn't a dracena and called my wife to have her remove it just to be safe. Now there is a hibiscus plant that takes up most of the space and his favorite...

could be that your little guy is sleepy. I'm currently dealing with a sick baby cham who won't open his eyes and needs to be force fed and is getting dehydrated. I have my little guy on a 8 to 8 schedule. Lights on 8 A.M., lights out 8 P.M. Once it's bed time, I don't bother him and let him...

Gotcha. Will try a regular 40 watt incandescent bulb. Nick, if you're reading this, I am very interested in your offer. I still would like to take Avi to the vet as he has experience with Veileds, but I believe your help would be invaluable. I trust in your chameleon husbandry as your panther...

What wattage for the household incandescent bulb do you recommend? Round bulb, or is a coiled one acceptable? Just trying to do anything possible to help this little baby get back to being himself.

According to the plant information (It was bought at Home Depot) it is a Dracerna. Not saying they put the right info on plant. I am at work and unable to post a pic, but will call the missus and have her get it out of there and replace it with a hibiscus. Will also relay to clean out mister...

The little curling over in the picture is him rubbing his eye on my hand, which is new. Any ideas? Eye infection, maybe?. I have read that it's possible to flush their eyes with saline, but is it safe?

I know it's hard to see in the small picture but his vine that he enjoys basking on is about 5-6 inches from his uvb bulb. I was going to go a little higher, but with him being so little and having read that they have a hard time thermoregulating while small. I just didn't want him to run the...

Just to add since I forgot earlier, his crickets and other feeders were gutloaded with kale, melon and Fluker's orange cubes. I know the orange cubes aren't the best, but I only found that out a few moments ago by reading through the forums. On a side note, I contacted Petco about my little...

I know this is late and I may be new to the forums, but you have my deepest and sincerest condolences. Your chameleon was absolutely gorgeous and was lucky to have such a devoted, loving owner.

here is a quick pic of his cage and of my poor little guy (hopefully they upload correctly)

2 weeks ago today, I bought our young veiled cham, Avi (short for Avecado) from PetCo. He is in a Reptibreeze enclosure, 16x16x30. We are using a 60 W Daylight blue Reptile bulb and a Reptisun 5.0 UVB bulb. He has a live Dracearna plant in his enclosure along with some heat treated branches and...
