Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon, age unknown. Sold as 'juvenile' so by my guesstimation maybe 3-6 months? Measures 5" nose to back feet and 5" of tail. I have had him for a little over a month now (purchased January 12th) Handling - Just about every day, when he wants out...

Not sure why the attachments for the files to his bloodwork didnt attach? Here they are manually. "Hemolysis index 0 Lipemia index 0 Glucose 319 Calcium 10.9 Phosphorus 17.5 Uric Acid 3.1 Total protein 7.2 AST 286...

Guacs bloodwork Here are the results of his blood work. Can any of the senior members or vets here in the forum take a look at his numbers and tell me what I am up against? And how bad are his numbers, is this something that is in its early stages that can be reversed or is his kidney...

I must be doing something wrong. I have everything set up like I should as per the directions. I put the ones that I could see were very actively wiggling (when I opened up the shipment box) into the Cup O Flies first because they looked like they were already on their way to hatching. I put the...

SInce buying my chameleon (yes, at a PetSmart) I have checked on the chams in that store whenever I have gone in there for crickets. After getting the crickets I told the girl that got them for me that the cham looked very dehydrated (dark brown in color) and asked her to go mist him. I...

Diagnosis MBD Guacamoles blood work came back with elevated phosphorus levels and he has MBD. I am going to do everything in my power reverse this and to make sure that he leads a happy good life. My vet told me that there is not much information on Veiled chameleons and that the numbers...

Update on Guacamole Tuesday morning at around 5 AM Guacamole had another "episode". Thankfully I had just gotten home from work and was washing my face to go to bed and heard the commotion in his cage (him freaking out) and I picked him up and when I did his tongue retracted on its own. That...

Thank you everyone for your responces. I have a bag of the "Cricket Crack" on its way (due to be delivered tomorrow) and am trying to find somewhere online that sells the "Super Chow" for gutloading/ storing the Superworms in. I also ordered some Butterworms and Blue Bottle Fly larvae to hatch...

Is it a good idea to have a styptic pencil/ powder on hand in case this happens or should those not be used on a chameleon?

Actually a better word would be retracting... I know that chameleons can have issues with their tongues, but is it common for them to shoot their tongue and it to stay out? Thankfully I saw when it happened and it freaked us both out. I opened the cage and scooped him up and by then his...

Thanks for the link to get the discoids. I am also in Florida and would like to get my cham some to add some variety to his diet.

Maybe offer him some real greens to eat. He might be dehydrated and need to drink. And try misting him too, just avoid spraying him directly, especially his face. That should help with the shedding too.

I am having the same issue as you, living here in Florida. I would like to get some variety with his feeder insects, and these crickets do not shut up EVER... So discoids are the only alternative for us then huh? Does anybody know of an online seller for discoids that ships to Florida?

I am having a similar problem and didnt want to start a new thread about this. I think my lil guy is going through exact the same thing. He is a more drab color tonight with grey spots on him. I have noticed that the skin on his legs (around his leg joints where it is bendy) is split and...

My veiled is a total sweetheart. He loves to be out of his cage and will fall asleep in my hand. He loves to sit on my shoulder and see the world from a taller view. He looks around and takes it all in. I would really love to know what he is thinking. He might just be interested in a warm...

I guess that I am REALLY lucky, my baby veiled is a total sweetheart. I seriously think that he thinks he is a puppy. I let him out shortly before his bedtime to sit and relax with me and the past three nights he has fallen asleep on my hand. My heart totally melts every time! I know that...

Glad I am not the only one! It breaks my heart when I have to put him back in his cage and he does not want to go... You really just have to observe your chameleon and try to handle him when you think that he is receptive to it. Put your hand in his cage palm up and fingers under his chin and...
