My son got our veiled Neil at about 4 months and he was not the hissing angry pet we had anticipated. He must have been handled when he was younger, because even now at a year old, he's still very friendly. We thought for sure he would turn out to cranky as he's had two enemas, intestinal...

We use a larger shoe box, black, with a hinged lid (from my son's size 14 Nikes). I put a low nap kitchen towel in the bottom and a spare fake, bendable branch. Neil grabs onto the branch for stability, then we close the lid. He almost always goes right to sleep until we open it at our...

RIP Thor :( He was very beautiful!

www.lindasgonebuggIE.com is the website :)

Thanks, all! I'll try some of those tactics. I could swear Neil gave me a dirty look after the bite, as in "how dare you feed me food that wants to fight back!" - lol. Appreciate the feedback :)

Hi all - We recently started feeding our male veiled Neil (10-months) hornworms and silkworms, in addition to crickets and butterworms. He's not particularly fond of the silkworms, and will eat crickets if there is nothing else, but LOVES hornworms. We've been feeding him only the smaller...

That sounds a lot like our 9-month old male veiled, Neil. He comes out on his own if we leave the door open, but gives us the "evil eye" and turns away if we reach into his enclosure. He was ill for about six weeks, so we had to handle him twice daily for meds and force-feeding. He wasn't...

So sorry for your loss :(

So cute! Thanks for sharing the pics and video - they're really good. Our Neil sits up like that, too, sometimes. Glad to know he wasn't just being weird :)

If he were mine, I'd make a visit to a reptile vet as soon as possible. Our 8-month old male veiled stopped eating and pooping (right after a shed, too) and it turned out he was constipated. Long story short, it was a combo of too much supplement with D3, the wrong light and mild dehydration...

I'm so sorry for your loss, RiftPoint :( RIP, Sven.

I'm so sorry to hear this. :( As Carlton said, please take time to heal yourself and your heart.

Interesting. We went through two ZooMed Daylight bulbs in less than 2.5 months. Very disappointed in their longevity.

Thank you, jajeanpierre. He's much like taking care of a newborn with all of his meds and special foods. The peephole is in the shoebox we use to transport him to and from the vet. It has a soft towel and one of his branches inside for him to grasp. We typically cover the box with a towel...

Thanks, zlew :) In both pics in this thread he is either feeling crappy and weak, or waking up from anesthesia (I'd be laying down, too!), but we'll keep an eye on how he uses that leg. Thanks for the heads up. For awhile he wasn't able to use his rear legs due to the protrusion in his...

VET UPDATE: Our hard work is paying off! Neil is well-hydrated, and on the mend. The kidney biopsy showed some tubule mineralization, likely due to our overuse of a supplement with D3, combined with too little water, and having the wrong light (UVA only). No definitive kidney disease or...

Good eyes, bobcochran! :cool:You are correct, his right rear leg does have a slight bend in it. During an x-ray the vet discovered that he'd had a broken leg at some point, likely before he came to live with us (he's not fallen or been dropped on our watch). It healed with a slight curve, but he...

Well, after six weeks, one surgery and a battery of medications, Neil finally pooped :D Haven't seen it in person (housemate came home for lunch and made the discovery), but from the description, it appears normal. And our little guy has impeccable timing, too, as today we go our for the...

How very cool! Congrats, Carol! Your prompt response to my very first post here (less than a month ago) likely saved our cham's life. You rock!!!

My son thought Neil needed his own Easter egg, too. Have a beautiful day!
