Hello all,
I haven't been on this forum for some time now (a whole 3 mos), after loosing my veiled to former owners lack of knowledge, and disapwin (in Cartmans voice). If you want to read his story, just search in forums under health foR...
Also, in my 2 weeks of being with him I have not seen him shed. He grew chalky and pale around his veil a few days ago and I have caught him rubbing his face on a rough vine. Looks like this guy isn't shedding properly as well? Is this due to Vitamin A deficiency primarily? Or is it most likely...

Jannb,
Thanks for the link and quick response. I will definitely be back with updates. I will find some hornworms and blue bottle flies ASAP. Any recommendations on where to get healthy ones? How else could you tell from a picture if Randall potentially has MBD?
CHAMELEON:
Mr. Scoggs is 10 mos old according to previous owner. He is a male Veiled. (After some reading here I am thinking he is of this "translucent" type. He has been in my care for almost 2 weeks.
HANDLING:
I have never taken him out without the intention to let him bask in the sun on a...
