I have a clutch of young veiled chameleon babies that are dying fast and I don't know why or what to do. The first one died just a couple of weeks ago, and 15 of them have died as of today. This is what happens: All babies seem to be eating, drinking and acting normal, until one of a baby's eyes...
I have done a lot of research about sexing water dragons. The general consensus seems to be that the dragons need to be around 18-20 inches in total length before you can accurately see the male characteristics developing (more pronounced femoral pores, spikes growing longer, etc). But in my...
I took in three neglected juvenile Chinese water dragons last night. I've got them set up in a 20L, which I know is not big enough for them, but it's the best I can do right now. Two of them are very lethargic, so they're not doing any running around anyway. At least they have proper access to...
The other day I saw a juvenile veiled at a pet store that was an extremely light shade of green, almost yellow. I've never seen one so young like that before - all the babies I've seen have been a much brighter, almost lime green color. I'm just wondering if anybody knows if that lighter green...
Whoa! Controversial, I know. Lol ;)

For the record...
Your Reptile - Bearded dragon, 14 weeks old, 4 inches snout to vent (9.5 with tail), unsure of sex (should I be able to tell yet?), in my care almost 2 months
Handling - Often
Feeding - Crickets, occasional waxworms, veggies. Crickets gutloaded with fresh veggies and Fluker's dry gutload...
I work at a pet store. I have another thread going right now to request info about the different animals I work with that I was previously unfamiliar with. I wanted to start a separate thread for cresties though, because I know of several forum members that have them and I figured that a thread...
Ok, I got my newest cham about 2 weeks ago. For the most part, everything seems to be going well. He has adjusted well to cup feeding and he seems quite content with his surroundings. He doesn't like sudden movements (like most chams, I'm sure), but he will climb right onto my hand as long as I...
Hello all,
I work at a pet store, and I got the idea to post this thread from Hoj's current thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-job-pet-store-68359/. I am seeking whatever information I can find out about all the different animals I am responsible for. I have read care guides and...
I just got my third chameleon (first panther) today. :) He is a 5 month old ambilobe from Lance Lindgren. One of the pictures is the one Lance posted in his ad (the one that made me fall in love with my new little man), three are pictures I took this morning immediately after unboxing him, and...
So I am getting my first panther tomorrow. He is a ~5 month old ambilobe from Lance Lindgren. I'm so excited... I have been looking at panthers for a while now, but when I saw this one in the classifieds I just had one of those "That's him... That's exactly what I want" moments. So I bought him...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male veiled, about 4.5 months, in my care for 1.5 months
Handling - once a week to clean the cage
Feeding - about 15 crickets daily gutloaded with Fluker's and fresh organic squash and kale (this is what it has been the past few days - I change up the gutload...
So I work at a pet store. A woman came in with her baby veiled yesterday after taking him to the vet. He has been in her care for 2 months and has not had a UVB light the entire time. He is probably only 4 months old and has severe MBD. I mean he has the worst double elbows I've ever personally...
I just got a new bearded dragon from a local breeder. He/she is about 9 weeks old and close to 7 inches long including the tail. These pictures don't do justice to his bright orange coloring, especially when I take him outside in the sun. He is actually shedding right now, so I will post more...
Just wanted to see if anyone here is planning on going to Repticon Atlanta in October. I know this thread may be a little premature, but I was thinking about it today so I thought I'd go ahead and post.
Also, does anyone have thoughts/advice about buying from a reptile show versus buying...
My female veiled is definitely gravid (infertile clutch). I just walked in her room and BAM - her belly is suddenly huge and lumpy. I knew there was a possibility that she might be developing eggs for the past week or so because her behavior has changed and her belly has seemed to grow a little...
Hello,
I just got a baby bearded dragon on Saturday. He/she is about 2.5 inches snout to vent, 6 inches long including the tail, and I was told he is about 7 weeks old. I have a 10.0 UVB tube light on him and a regular white house bulb for basking and the lights are on a 12 on/12 off...
I am looking for an adult ambilobe female. I will consider a sub-adult ambilobe or an adult ambanja as well. Please PM me if you have one you would like to sell. I'm in the Atlanta area, so more than likely she would need to be shipped.
If you would like to know more about me and my...
