    Hermie gives MistKing a THUMBS UP!

    Just wanted to say that buying hermie a mistking auto mister was the BEST investment (esp. since I"m gone for a good 10 plus hours these days...). The first two times it turned on he just sort of sat there (not under it) and stared at it with a "what the F***" look on his face. The third time no...

    Hermies bloodwork

    Well, we got hermie's bloodwork rechecked today and his phosphorus levels came down a little... but not very much. vet thinks that herm is probably starting to go into kidney failure since we didn't see a very good response to the antibiotics this time. :( Attitude wise he is better though (the...

    Hermie's vet visit

    Well, I took hermie to his normal reptile vet today for a check up ... something about nearly drowning made me think he should probably be seen. I realized before taking him that he can't shoot his tounge anymore. He tried and it wouldn't go. (It was shooting just fine prior to falling into...

    caging, mister, plant recommendations?

    Hi everyone -- I have decided that I want to update Hermie's habitat. I figure after nearly drowning he deserves some updates and if he can survive that he's probably goign to be around for a while to come. Is there such a thing as "too big" for a male veiled enclosure? What is the max...

    Worm shipment in cold temps?

    Hey Guys! Quick question for people who have hopefully done this (either on the shipment or receiving end). I live in MI where it is FREAKING cold (we are barely getting into the 20s most days ... but that's an improvement since for a period we werent getting above 0 without the windchill...

    fruits and veggies

    So Hermie, my 2ish year old cham has suddenly decided that fruits and veggies are good. He has decided dthat he loves apples.... I offered him a piece thinking he would not be interested and next thing I know he's sucking on it and gulp it's gone. Offered him another piece and he snatched it...

    Free-Ranging Hermie

    After reading all of the free-ranging threads and thinking about Hermie, my 2.5 yo male lately has just been unhappy in his enclosure (he also has chronic kidney problems and is a "former" MBD cham who broke all 4 legs) I decided to give it a try. I'm still waiting to pick up his real big tree...

    Feeding Problems

    Hi Everyone! I am hoping that some people will have some advice for me and my veiled Hermie. Life was going quite well for us ... he got over his kidney problems, perked up, was active, eating VERY well. I bought a new plant for him that I put in a window and every evening I would open the...

    Hermie

    While I don't take photos that are as stunning as most of yours I did want to share a new picture of Hermie, my veiled, who I posted about in the health forum who had the kidney infection, MBD, etc. Here's a recent shot of him enjoying life again, in his bush in my window enjoying some of the...

    Time in Shower?

    I was just wondering if there is a general rule of thumb for how long you guys leave your chams in the shower? Hermie (my approx 3 yo veiled) is in there on his plant right now and drinking up a storm (he used to hate showers so I always hand misted him, which he hated as well actually) ... I'm...

    Exoterra Fogger

    I was wondering if anyone has used one of these and what their experiences are? I live in Michigan and am having a HORRIBLE time keeping Hermie's cage even close to being humid enough. I bought one of these foggers, and started it out on the bottom of his cage (a fully screened cage) and was...

    Post -MBD

    after a (longish) hiatus I just wanted to pop in with a picture of hermie (I have a folder under "jam" in the members folders). Some of you might remember hermie's long struggle with MBD that ended up with him breaking all four legs, and having 3 casts and a sling. (yes, you did read that...

    Just an Update on Hermie the Chameleon

    For those that have been a while they saw me through the horror that was my male veiled hermie getting MBD, breaking all four legs in at least one spot, having casts on all four legs, a sling on one, and through sheer determination and will on his part making it through, healing and bouncing...

    Carnivore Care

    I just wanted to pop in quickly to throw this out there, in case it can help anyone. When Hermie got his impaction (which he passed) the vet put him on this "carnivore care" food. It comes as a powder and you mix water in to get the consistency that you want. I think someone had expressed some...

    Impaction

    The Hermie drama continues... I noticed on thursday that Hermie went to bed a little early for him, and figured that I better keep an eye on him. The next morning he got up and moved under his basking light so I left for school. Came back in the evening to find him in the exact same spot...
