Thanks for asking! I took him to the vet and it was sperm plugs that were stuck from humping so much 🙄🤣 He had to have them squeezed out which he wasn’t happy about, flushed out with iodine and then given some anti-inflammatory medicine. He was also slightly dehydrated so he had an injection to...
Thanks! I told my vet that his humidity was 50-60% most of the time & he said it needs to be much higher. I did find that odd because I have always read around 50% online.
I would add more photos but I’m at work all day and will get home after his lights will go out, so I won’t be able to take...
Awesome! I did think it was a small tank for an adult but I got him from a pet store which told us it will be good for him for life, but now I regret listening to them 🙃 I’ll take his plastic plants out then & replace with more pothos or another plant instead, thank you!
He shed roughly two weeks ago, his tail is usually last to shed too! I didn’t notice the swelling until you said, he has got swelling where his hemipene is but it’s slowly going down since having the medicine. All of this has been quite stressful for him so maybe this has something to do with...
I was worried it could be stress. Since coming back from the vet I’ve been misting his tank a bit more to help with his hydration, and he’s scared of water which is why he struggles with drinking as much as he should anyway 😭
Hi! My veiled chameleon has been chewing his tail the past two days & I’m trying to get to the bottom of why. He’s been to the vet less than 2 weeks a go for a different problem which was sorted. He had sperm stuck inside his hemipene, he had it squeezed out, flushed out with iodine & then was...
I’ve noticed yesterday that my chameleon has this sticking out of his butt. I thought it was poop at first so I have been spraying his butt to help him shift it, but after reading other posts on the forum I am worried it is a prolapsed hemipene (as he is in heat atm/humping everything). I keep...
Hahaha, well... he used to come out to explore. My baby isn't innocent anymore 🥺
Yeah, I was thinking maybe something like this is happening. I'll just have to keep an eye on him!
My veiled chameleon is just a little over two years old, and over the past year he has became sexually mature (humping my hand a lot lol). Recently he has been A LOT more horny than usual, I handle him all the time because he loves being out and exploring but the second I handle him he will...
A bit of a weird question but I was wondering whether chameleons can tear their anus and develop a fissure after pooping? A few weeks a go, my male veiled chameleon didn’t go to the toilet for a few days (which is unusual for him) and then I found the biggest poop EVER in his tank. It was a...
My veiled is roughly a year and a half old, and he’s suddenly just started to try to have his way with me. It’s pretty hilarious, but it’s starting to happen every time I have him out. He’s a chameleon who loves to come out and be social, he’ll run down his branches when you walk past his tank...
Hi guys,
My little dude has the Exo Terra large dripper plant. I got it because before that he would only drink if I gave it him by hand and dripped it from a misting bottle lol. However, ever since I have got the dripper plant rather than licking the droplets he will chomp down on the leaves...
This is really good advice. Thank you :) Will definitely start making some changes! As for the substrate, it does help keep the humidity high and he has grabbed it a few times but has spat it out. Anything else you recommend, carpet maybe? Or just leave it?
He has a screw in UVB bulb, it was...
