There was a fairly large brown feces pellet that came out as well.

Sorry, meant urates, as in he is still hydrated.

He seems like he is getting worse. He hasn't been eating again and we were only able to get one oral dose in him before he shut his mouth and refused to open it. He won't eat crickets even if we push them in the side of his mouth. I worry that we should have given him the ca injection at the...

Update 2: We were able to get the little guy out with minimal stress and got him x-rayed. It does look like he has MBD :-( We have really been trying to provide proper husbandry, and feel super bad that he has gotten this far along. The vet didn't have any calcium glubionate syrup, but...

Not strictly. They also change colors for communication and for temperature regulation.

Update: We added more wattage to the basking lamp, bumping the temp reading to ~94F. The new UV CFL came in and we set up both it and the older one (~5 months old) to cover him while basking. He finished off the rest of his shed today. He also ate a bunch of crickets (24, heavily dusted with...

We are high enough elevation that it snows and he could be getting drafty. Do you have an opinion of which brand of liquid calcium is best, or does it matter?

Thank you so much for responding. He is shedding, but only one leg has shed and the rest doesn't look like it is going. During previous sheds he was lethargic and didn't eat as much, but this is worse. But he is still moving around and even climbing on the screen. In your opinion, should we...

In the last picture of him there is a black probe hanging under what is his basking spot. It reads 83-84F except during misting (mistking run off a timer).

He seems to be getting worse and not eating. He is pretty lethargic, but still moving around and being able to hold on. I'm ordering new bulbs and am going to try to see if he can be force fed food and liquid calcium. The soonest a local vet can see him and possibly give him a calcium...

More details: Better picture of his arm The vitamins we are using: In addition to the pre packaged cricket food, we also gut load with spinach, carrots, and occasional fruits.

Dual bulb fixture: 1x exo terra 26W CFL UVB (for heat 1x zoo med 60w daylight bulb for heat) UV bulb is coming close to needing a replacement.

A friend has a bearded dragon that they didn't give much if any calcium to and wound up with a broken back. Now we are a bit paranoid about our veiled chameleon. He is about eight months old. His main staple is gut loaded crickets that are sprayed with calcium every feeding, calcium + D3...

Our Veiled loves the flowers. The hibiscus plants we put in there were in full bloom and he went and ate all the flowers. Now he eats the buds just before they flower.

Before I got the mist king setup working, we used a plastic cup with holes in the bottom and then put ice in the cup. The only problem was that the surface tension of the water on the screen caused it to pool and needed help breaking tension and dripping. Now that the misters work the little...

You need to drain the water not absorb it. Plumb in some sort of drainage system.

Either online or at your friendly neighborhood grow shop (the nudge nudge wink wink type).

Worm castings only offer micronutrients to the plants, not the macros you need for growth and flowering. This is because the worms concentrate the nutrients of whatever they are eating, so if you just throw a worm in your pot it will not create any new nutrients that weren't already there...

I whipped this up today for our chem's first weighing (29g). It is a chunk of manzanita screwed to a wood base with a bit of glue.

I was afraid of a bit of soil or cricket getting stuck in the 1/4" drain tube, so I added a bit of screen between the shower drain cover and drain.
