    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Sorry for not responding for so long.. prolonged mourning I guess. Karma passed a while ago, not sure why. She lived well for a few months after the vet visit, no sign of the "pimple" returning or anything else odd. I just woke up one day and she was looking ill and not eating, did...

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Since I've posted so many pics of a ticked off cham, I figured I'd show one with the happy colors :) Sleeping beauty

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    OK, here is a shot of the aftermath. Karma seems to care less either way... "Where's my crickets? Get that camera out of my face!" :rolleyes:

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Sorry for the wait everyone, she's doing great, tearing up the cage walls and devouring bugs as usual. No sign of infection, just a black mark, It's night time now so I'll try to get a pic when the lights come back on. Will, I think our chams' growths may be different, Karma's was very...

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Karma saw the vet this morning, he removed the growth and only charged me $30. No lasers, they gassed her then lopped it off with a scalpel, then cauterized it with something, I think I heard him call it nitrate. He believes it was a tumor of some sort being that it was meaty inside, they're...

    just bought cham and need tips

    I have the same enclosure and keep two sheets of newspaper on the bottom. If it's staying in the mid 80s in the center of the cage then wet news paper should dry out fairly quickly and is easy to replace when it gets soiled by the cham, as long as you don't set plant pots on it. I'd be a bit...

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Bah! Stinkin' animal hospitals. They're all giving me the run around since I'm asking for a payment plan, every one of them uses Care Credit which is denying me credit. Luckily, I just now finished a much more promising conversation with the treasurer of the Calusa Herpetological Society Of...

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Good news, Karma goes in for laser surgery tomorrow morning. I found a vet that offered financing after explaining my money issues. I should have been more aggressive in my search these last few weeks, but I've been consumed with starting the new job. I walked in to mist her this morning and the...

    Am I doing this right?

    This is basically what I read somewhere many years ago. I keep my female veiled fed with no more than three or four insects daily, and her basking spot is usually no more than 90F. She is over three years old now and has never produced a clutch. She has a sand bed but has never stepped foot in...

    water?

    I agree, stay away from products that add slime coat or have organic ingredients. They are known to be bad for fish by gumming up gills, so I certainly wouldn't want my cam ingesting it.

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Figures the email gets returned from a failed address. :\ Guess I'll be going in tomorrow on the way home from a job interview, hopefully two good things can happen tomorrow.

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Good thinking Dave, I was also thinking that might be the only option to get things done ASAP. I just located a local exotic pet vet online and have emailed them the situation and asked for any alternative options locally if they are unable to help... fingers crossed.

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    It is growing, I wouldn't say too rapidly, but at the rate it is growing it should be twice the size in a few months, I should be working before that. No, it doesn't seem to be bothering her at all, thankfully, it seems to be exterior only when she opens her mouth. She (Karma) let me grab onto...

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Thanks for the reply, Heika. I'm sorry to hear the contents of your bump was hard, I was hoping someone would say I could drain this with a sterilized needle then swab with alcohol, or something. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the vet visit cost? I've been unemployed for about a month...

    Here are some images of the bump, the other "bumps" on her head are water droplets.

    Pimple (?) on mouth of Veiled

    Hi, new here, sorry I had to end up here looking for answers to a problem. I have a female veiled that should be close to the end of her lifespan. She has developed what looks like a pimple on the side of her lip. It's growing and seems to be filled with puss with a hard spiky head in the...
