I REALLY don't make an awful lot of money, but yet I can still seem to find enough to take care of everything I have. I took Pascal to the vet AS SOON AS I woke up and noticed something was off..and it was a battle from there anyways. It makes me sick to hear some of the stories in this thread...

I may have trouble with hibiscus I think because it said they needed a lot of sunlight and being mid July it probably wouldn't thrive in a PA winter I don't think. I feel good about the pothos plant although it seems to sit low in the pot instead of grow 'upwards.' Umbrella plants were told to...

I am currently in the works of getting a bigger cage and instead of false plants, trying to use live plants because after MUCH research learned they keep humidity better. I have plants all over my house, but I'm sure they're not cham safe. What are some of the best plants you guys have had...

If you've had many successes with your usual vet, and feel more confident in going to her, I'd do it. Its good that you dropped everything and took her to the vet, that's what I had to do with my little one. Just let her know everything the other guy said and that people are telling you it's...

Thank you, Leslie11. I really appreciate that. I did disinfect after I removed him and buried him..I'm going to sell the current cage for a larger one and add some new plants. Also, I used repticarpet instead of soil because of the screen. It would spill out due to the fact there's no extra dip...

I found out the hard way how fragile they are-but I also don't believe he was captive bred and therefore less hardy. He really wasn't any more expensive to keep than any of my other animals-especially my turtle who eats like a pig haha. They are more high maintenance, but I really feel once you...

So what do you guys think the proper humidity level for a veiled chameleon would be? Between 50-80% is what I've read in numerous care guides, but others say keep it arid, which doesn't make sense because then they'd never drink.

Oh I have no problem taking it outside for some hours during the day at all. I do that with my turtle as well. He was just sick for so long, and I wouldn't leave the cage outside when I try again as living in a townhouse it would probably all be stolen.

That's what I was going to ask..I don't feel many vets would be able to do this..

I never had any idea about the dubias. How do you care for these? I could probably get them from pet stores around me since there are so many. As for variety, what would a decent feeding schedule be? I've also heard of feeding greens but don't know how they would eat them if they're not really...

How do you tell if and when they've reached sexual maturity? That's one thing I had no idea about, but since he was so calm I'd assume he was there already.

At what age are they considered "adults?" Over a year?

Ok so after checking the "How to Ask for Help" page, I pretty much covered everything in previous posts. Veiled chameleon, probably around 10 months old, probably most likely male. I handled him pretty much daily to every other day because he had become accustomed to it, even though it...

Ok, thank you. My vet actually suggested this because he specializes in reptiles also. He gave me a schedule for the UVB to improve his health to mimic the daylight depending on the season (ex 12hrs in winter, 14 in summer because of longer days) so he wouldn't go into hibernation. The room was...

Daytime: Basking Exo Terra bulb 75-100W depending on the season. 100 was getting too hot about mid June so I switched back to 75W..made basking spot 100*. Left this on for 8 hours a day 7-4 on a timer. UVB: Reptisun UVB 5.0 left on from 7-8 for summer hours/extra daylight. Also on a timer...

Well, thank you for the cage advice, but I want to do everything exactly right to avoid 'setting myself up' next time. The only thing I seemed to miss was dusting as he had so much space in the cage he was in...I'm honestly not even sure what sex Pascal was because I never got the chance to...

I really did :/ Almost more than the rest of my zoo. I've had other reptiles...I had a snake but had to give him away (due to helping my grandma for awhile and she hates snakes) and a turtle who is now about 5. Anyways, there weren't any weird discolorations on anything of his. Once in...

Hello! I'll give a backstory so that it will be easier to respond to what help I need. I work at PetSmart and take care of all sorts of animals and am also in school to be a Vet Tech and from there, a future DVM. I'm not saying that by any means I'm an expert anywhere, but needless to say I...
