before photo...He has a history of MBD, so his little legs are bowed.
Photo taken today...I don't know if you can see the difference. In the previous pic, his eye was closed and was all hunkered down. this morning his was climbing around and tried to bite the camera. His eyes still...

So...I have this new little veiled that was overwhelming his owners. He must be almost a year, confirmed male, 7-8" SVL. So far he has had MBD and eye issues. He has seen two different qualified herp vets. While I have kept herps for about 20 years, Achmed is my first cham. I was pet...
