I have been so busy with Jake and silk and hawk moths lately, but I wanted to update everyone on his condition. He continues to gain use of his back legs, and he is maintaining a healthy appetite, enjoying his mistings, and spending lots of time under his linear uv bulb. He has one more baytril...

My daughter and I spent some time outside this afternoon with Jake and Yoda. Manni (my daughter) seems to have a real knack for photography ;) Manni being silly Jake sitting in his hibiscus Manni's photography She wanted to take a picture of my tattoo :) Molly Macheetah Turbo Yoda...

I don't have any pictures yet, but I've created a cozy, uvb/uva abundant, clumsy cham proof cage for Jake until he is 100%. Which, by the way, he's making a lot of progress on. I've sequestered him to about the top third of his enclosure, using plastic chicken wire at the bottom as a safety net...

So, the light fixture I have my UV fluorescent tube in now isn't reflective. I really want to get a new one, but at the moment, with all of the vet costs and having to buy a new basking bulb, I don't think I can afford it. Would it be too ghetto to line the fixture with aluminum foil? I laugh...

Jake's vet visit went great! Dr. Moore was very knowledgeable and took his time examining Jake. He did say that his bones feel a little soft, but it is certainly not advanced mbd. He prescribed antibiotic injections and showed me how to do them. Much easier than a squirmy mouse :p Jake's legs...

I have a 24" repti-glo 10.0 bulb that runs across the top of Jake's enclosure. I keep it a little more towards the front where he likes to hang out (near his basking bulb), but I'm wondering if I don't need an additional light source. Being that his cage is 4 feet tall, it seems very dim at...

When I took Jake to the vet yesterday, I was startled to hear that he has advanced MBD. I keep an eye out for the tell-tale signs, and I haven't seen a single one. So he is on calcium glubionate, as well as anti-inflammatories for the injury. I use a 10.0 repti-glo tube bulb and his basking bulb...

I can't believe that I'm having to post about this again. We spent the night at a friend's last night and when we got home about an hour ago, . Jake's cage door was hanging open, almost bent in half. When I found him, he was all scratched up like last time, but he also has shallow wounds that...

http://khu.sh/songify_51b66cef2cf15&v2 I down loaded the Songify app and I'm not a bit ashamed to admit that I've had more than my fair share of fun with it. This is me and my daughter singing our hearts out about how beautiful we think Jake is <3

Jake grew an astonishing two inches in one month! My guess is he's about 7 months old now, and I was wondering if growth at this rate was typical for juvenile/sub-adult male veileds. Boy am I glad I went for the 2x2x4 cage!

So for mother's day, my husband is taking me plant shopping - for Jake! He has plenty of live plants in his cage but he needs plants to hang out on when he goes outside. A hibiscus is first on my list. I can't wait! :D

My veiled hasn't shown any interest in eating anything other than insects. I've tried several items, including small pieces of apple, banana, strawberry, collard greens, and even flowers (petunia). He's healthy and all, but I was just wondering how important it was for them to eat vegetation...

I was browsing veiledchameleon.com website and found a safe plant list. It contains a lot of plants that I don't see in the database here. Is anyone willing to check it out and see how accurate it is?

I hope the two other users who are doing the "365 days of..." don't mind me stealing their idea. I just thought it was so awesome, and I love to document stuff. This is my first experience with a chameleon and being that there are many color/pattern variations with veileds, I thought it would be...

Got some decent shots of Jake today that show off his nice colors. Check em out!

I used the word "walker" and immediately thought of the walking dead (I don't know how I can hold out until October :eek: ) Jake is all, "you can't see me. I'm a flippin leaf, yo!" (Now I'm thinking about breaking bad lol! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=594482390569780&l=344622196405961615

The top of Manni's head seems to be the preferred spot to chillax My husband says Jake is my new husband :p

I just love how chameleons move. Here's Jake struttin his stuff (he's sexy and he knows it lol!)

Here's my handsome man. I just measured him, 8 inches from nose to tip of tail. Any clue how old he might be?
