Any one else ever seen this happen? Merlin has stopped using his left eye completely and has had it shut for almost 3 weeks now. His right eye is fine, he is active all day, he is drinking and seems to be eating. In fact, everything looks 100% except for the fact they he has his left eye...
Not to much info about the Chamaeleo verrucosus out there. Anyone here keep them? I've found a basic care sheet but I am looking for some first hand experience so I can gauge if they are right for my next addition. I'm deciding between these guys and Flap necks.
So at the behest of others I increased the humidity levels in my veiled's cage this week by adding a 1 gallon dripper and installing a fine misting nozzle, connected to a 1/16th hp pump with a 3 gallon reservoir. I am proud to say it now "rains" in Merlins cage 2-4 times a day depending on the...
So After this week's vet visit with Merlin (was in for a potential eye infection) I noticed his poop had return to normal but he had begun to rub his left eye on branches in his enclosure. I called my vet immediately and she prescribed Gentamicin Sulfate eye drops. I've been giving him 2 drops a...
So, I'm a student and I live in a small apartment. I don't have a lot of space for animals, so all of my herp racks are in my room. Thats 5 snakes, some pet feeder anoles/house geckos, and Merlin the chameleon. Merlin's food also lives in my room which is fine except that the crickets are...
I have a 2-3 month old male veiled, approx 8" tip to tale. For the past day or so I have notices that he has his left eye closed and is bulging it out with his tung. I think he must have some kind of eye infection, he doesn't seem to have any debris in his eye and I've misted the heck out of...
How does age and diet affect a Veiled's color? My male is several weeks old and about 6 inches long and shows nice greens and whites, but I was wondering how his coloration will change as he ages? Will it change at all? Are there Veiled morphs? As I've stated, I know a lot about snakes but this...
My veiled male has been a dark green/blue almost all day today. This is the first time I've seen him like this. What does this mean? He is usually a mellow green color. Also, I've found him walking on the floor of the cage a few times now, should I be worried? Cage and Animal Pictures Can be...
I'm trying to get Merlin, my male veiled, to trust me enough to climb onto my arm. I know that some chameleons will never come around, but I want to try to get him to trust me. I read that hand feeding is the best way to get them to associate your hand with good things, but very little is ever...
Hi, I'm new. I've been all over the web looking for a good forum to join and stick around, I really hope this one is it.
So, I am no stranger to herps. I have a decent sized collection of animals from all around the world, each with their own requirements and challenges. I recently decided to...
