lol Lovey was a thought, but I once had a dog named that. Had a cat named Romeo once and he was a total doll. Yup…had one named Dolly too. 😂 Poor guy is probably going to end up being Sweetie after all. If there’s a cat (occasionally dog) with a stupid name, it probably was or is one of mine.

Well, with my veiled girl Stella, all I have to do is get near her and she gapes at me. My boy Lucky used to if I got a hand too close, but having to hand feed him due to poor vision, he’s used to me now and it takes trying to pick him up to get him to gape. He can go a while without eating, so...

Finally, all of the stars aligned just right and the universal cat distribution system allotted me 2 feline friends. I actually didn’t choose these cats - they chose me and the fates agreed and made it so. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get much info about their history, other than their...

What kinds of feeders do you have on hand? If you have any of the wormy ones, you could try to get him to gape and sneak it quickly into his mouth. Bigger concern is how is he able to drink? If you haven’t seen him drinking, try dripping some small drops of water on his nose. Unfortunately, if...

@jamest0o0 (previously our bug Lord) had advised me to go with giant canyon isopods, and they have been fantastic. They do seem to go thru a good deal of leaf litter, but they keep everything in good order. I’ve tried powder orange in with my leopard geckos, and they didn’t do well at all, so I...

I can’t add much to this, other than to advise not to put anything at all on the plant’s leaves, especially with a veiled. I clean plants down to bare root before using. If I get soil gnats, I’ve found mosquito bits work great. For other pests, I look for predatory insects that my cham can eat.

One of the times I hatched some mantids, I kept some of the babies for fun/learning. Feeding them without them escaping was a challenge. I finally just took their container outside when feeding them, so that if any escaped they had a chance to survive. They are cute little buggers, but hard to...

I love the bird cage, but do make sure to add some way for him to have a decent sized area of shade to be cool in. That may be why he drinks so well when outside…getting a bit dehydrated from overheating. How do you think he lost vision in that eye…from the cut or did something else happen...

Hi and welcome! 🙂 Gonna start out with admitting my brain is too tired to read both of your husbandry posts atm. It’s been a long weekend/week. 😵‍💫 You’ve been given some excellent advice already. I’d like to see some more pics of your chameleons and their enclosures. You most definitely need...

It looks more like it had been a few days since he had pooped, rather than being dehydrated. The longer the urate is inside and not passed, it will darken.

Is it Repashy calcium plus or calcium plus LoD? The LoD has doses more appropriate for chameleons. I hope your little guy pulls thru whatever is going on.

What supplements exactly are you using and how often for each? I’m not at all knowledgable about T. hoehnelii husbandry but @kinyonga @BleuSaphir and @Motherlode Chameleon are and know the supplement routine. I can tell you that chameleons aren’t just a standard lizard and so many vets lack...

I always ease into reductions, rather than sudden changes. All of mine are fed 3 days a week with treats on the weekend.

That’s quite a stretch! 😂

So glad that she’s recovered. I feared and assumed the worst from the way she looked. Poor sweet girl. 💗 There are many on line feeder vendors who sell variety packs. Check the forum sponsors here https://www.chameleonforums.com/sponsors/?tag=food and I believe Josh’s Frogs sells variety packs...

Very good and bless you for being prompt in getting her to a vet. Hoping she makes a complete and speedy recovery. 🥰

I think they’re similar to hornworms and silkworms in having a somewhat limited diet. I feed mine a mix of oat bran and a few oats mixed with organic honey.

Hi! 🙂 Since you’ve gotten thru with your veiled girl, having a male panther will be like a walk in the park. The husbandry is very similar. The biggest species difference is panthers like humidity levels a bit higher. The biggest gender difference is you can feed him just a bit more and his...

Oh gee…I don’t like that black line on her. I can’t recall what may be causing that, but I believe it isn’t at all good. Make sure your vet takes an x ray to check for any retained eggs. Being older, she may not have been able to push her eggs out as easily. @kinyonga will certainly know better...

I love that first pic…the expression on his face! It takes perseverance to take a bite of a corn plant leaf.
