But nobody's actually said what to expect if you get bitten. :) My Veiled got me once on the meaty bit of the back of my index finger. It did not break the skin, but it did leave an oval-shaped bruise. I was surprised at how hard he bit because my sister's leopard gecko used to nip at my...

I'll get the Salmonella check soon, that's one I hadn't really thought of. I don't have any children around, but I have a few housemates who'd be unamused if my new baby gave everyone food poisoning. I had to explain to them why I carry her around all the time when I'm home, but they've only...

Thanks for all the advice! My family actually had an iguana for a few years. I got him as a rescue and nursed him back from a terrible case of MBD when I was just out of high school. He was technically mine but my parents kept him when I first moved out. He was an adult when I had to move...

Apart from "Don't?" Because I went to my reptile shop to get some crickets for my veiled and the guys reaches into a cardboard box and pulls out this beautifully colored, healthy looking, docile little thing and says, "Want an iguana?" They apparently have people dump iguanas off on them...

I live in Columbus, OH, and we have a store here called Captive Born Reptiles. From speaking to the owner I got the impression that most of his stock is ether bred there (he proudly showed me his leopard gecko breeding setup) or purchased from breeders he knows in the area. Kaiju and two of...

I knew when I got the "baby cage" that he'd need a bigger one around now. It's a #1 priority once I start getting the new-job paychecks, definitely, I even have it picked out and know what store in my city stocks it. Thanks for the advice! I'm glad he's not looking like too much of a pig...

He's a little mad at me in those pictures for handling him, and it's a cheap older camera, so they aren't as good as they could be. The crickets are about 3/4" at the largest, big enough to make an irritating racket at night. I miss the nice quiet little crickets. He's still in his baby cage...

My little Kaiju is an approximately 6 month old male veiled, and I have never for a moment had a problem with him not eating. At about two months old he was eating within hours of being brought home. At this point I am feeding him about a dozen large crickets when I leave for work first thing...

I'm worried to death about a week-long trip I'm taking out of town this summer. I have a friend who's a big herp fan and studying to be a bio teacher, but he's coming with me! I hope I get as lucky as you.

Heya. :) My name's Jen. I had been considering getting a chameleon for years, but after a big breakup and getting used to living on my own I decided it was finally time for the little man I always wanted in my life. My little Kaiju is a veiled chameleon, and he's only a couple months old. I...
