Welcome to the Forum! I just don't do spiders, but respect the fact that you do! Of course, I'll probably have nightmares tonight after looking at your pictures, but they are very colorful - just really glad they are at your house and not mine!
I didn't realize there was anyone else from KC on here either!
I have raised both of them using the "non-laying" method - lower temps that stay in the low 80's during the day and I only feed every three days. The smaller female has yet to produce and hopefully she won't and I definitely...
I have a female veiled cham right around a year old whom I have renamed Beastie as she is huge for a female! I bought her and a female sibling as a male and female sibling duo but knew pretty quick I had two females. Beastie is much bigger than her sibling sister. I have not bred her yet, so...
Your chams and pictures are amazing! You obviously have the "cham" touch! I also love the baby beards - I have a male a little over 18 months old - Aragon - that I have had since he was four weeks old! Keep up the great work and keep posting pics!!
Thank you all for your kind words and condolences. Have not been able to talk about it without crying during the weekend, but am doing better. A part of me knows I did everything I could do for her, but there will always be that part that keeps running through my head trying to figure out if...
I lost her
I lost her. I am so devastated. I haven't quit crying. I am still in shock at how fast she went downhill. By the time I found the reptile vet at Petsmart in the next town over, I went to get her and she was on the bottom of her cage, no grip and had a blackish tint. I refused to...
After all that, he only has pill form. I got back on the phone and finally found a Petsmart Clinic in a neighboring town that assured me the vet treats reptiles, has treated chams and does have the liquid small animal baytril. I am on my way to take her in now. Thank you very, very much for...
Thank you so much. I have increased her basking temp and have put a warm mist humidifier on her. I am waiting for a second call back from this vet to find out the dilution and whether it is small animal. I did find something that recommended 5 mg every 12 hours orally - does this sound right?
I have a female veiled chameleon that is almost 2 years old. She has always been in tip top shape, but this morning she showed signs of distress. I am 99% sure she has an URI. She always "talks" to me when I go in to her room, and this morning she really got my attention. I noticed she was...
I had a similar situation with Petco and the conditions they were keeping their baby bearded dragons in. I made a point to stop in and complain to the manager every other day, and wrote numerous e-mails to their corporate website. Not sure if my protests did it or not, but they did finally...
Great pics!! He seemed to have enjoyed his last day of summer. I live in the midwest, so unfortunately, my chams are pretty much in for the winter too.
I put a layer of oatmeal down on the bottom of the bin and it definitely cuts the stench way down and helps keep the container dry. I also clean out the dead crickets at least every other day - sometimes every day.
I also have a beardie and this can happen for different reasons. Although only a vet will be able to tell you the exact reason, I can give you a few different reasons. First, how often do you soak him? My beardie gets a "soakie" every night. If you don't soak them often enough, they can get...
They are SO cute!!! I have three doxies - two black and tan and a dapple. Two years ago I got a dachshund tattoo on my ankle! They are truly the best loving and loyal dogs!! Keep the pics coming as they grow!
