    help Louie acting sick

    sad/ bad news Louie passed away. He just didn't have the strength to try any more. I knew I had to say good-bye, but it is hard. He actually turned a very pretty color right before he passed away. Maybe he was happy he didn't have to be in pain any more. I want to thank everyone for their...

    help Louie acting sick

    Woops dust has d3 used every day Hello, Louie's cage is only open in the front. The back is against a window which shows a view of the heated greenhouse. He usually goes outside in his Ficus tree when it is warm enough. The greenhouse has between 60-80% humidity. I think my vet believes...

    help Louie acting sick

    re Louie Hello, The black color is not permanent. I put him in the shower ( not under water directly). He got to have a sort of steam bath for about 20 minutes. He turned a nice green/yellow while I had him in there. He also drank some water off the ficus leaves. I put the whole tree in the...

    help Louie acting sick

    Louie has been under the same type of bulb since he was 6 months old. I have replaced the bulb several times. The last time was about 2 months ago. I have had him since he was 3 months old, and always made sure his crickets were dusted, and raised myself ( 500 very young crickets + 2 months...

    help Louie acting sick

    re Hello, The vet is the one who told me to raise the temp to over 120F Which I DID NOT DO! I think the vet is a reptile idiot. I do not have a vet in town that will see patients on a sunday. I could try to find a vet in a larger town tomarrow, but I can't get around with a broken leg very...

    color variety connected to longevity?

    hungry cham :p Yes, Louie eats a lot. He slowed down a little since I got him about a month ago. He is about 7 months old now. He is definitely growing yet. I just got back some of my first pics of him. I thought he was big when I got him! Is it wrong to let him eat as much as he wants? He...

    color variety connected to longevity?

    thank you reply Well I guess I was wondering why the vet said Louie1 may not have been as robust or long lived because of his color ( sunburst). I think the vet may have believed that health ( genetics) of the animals were compromised to achieve the color variety. Yes I believe he was talking...

    color variety connected to longevity?

    Hello, I have a question that I hope I can phrase right. I do not mean to offend any breeders first of all. If genetics and breeding for color is similar to other animals, and captive bred animals have a limited gene pool could certain varieties be less hardy ie sunburst. My girlfriend lost her...

    Warning

    I'm relieved I was starting to think there was something wrong. Thanks for the warning. My friends 4 -5 yr old veiled actually climbed onto her hand to come out. I started to think my new 6 mo old veiled hated me. It works much better when you realize being aggressive is normal. Patience and...

He is finally to the point where he doesn't try to chase my hand and bite it when I feed him. I got spoiled with my friends 5 yr old sunburst veiled. He liked...

    new cham owner

    Thank You :o My vet told me that the cage was being kept too cold. He said that was why he was dark in the morning. I am looking for a vet who specializes in reptiles in addition to the one in town. It is only 120 directly under the basking bulb at the hottest time of day. I have syngonium...
