Hello everyone,
After several years as a kid wanting a reptile. I'm finally getting one as an adult. I made the mistake of getting a chameleon at an awesome Petco but I'm sure as all of you can guess, about maybe a week of getting my female veiled chameleon she became ill very quickly with a really bad TO. Petco offered the whole 30 day garuntee covering vet visits. Well I called did the whole shebang get to the vet and he says. Oh she is fine...... she is just being defensive. I was 90% positive she was sick. Then I thought. Maybe I'm just being an over cautious caring owner. Then I noticed the slobber bubbles from the mouth and crust from the nose and mouth was constantly open and was not eating. Called again and they said well the Vet said she was ok so don't worry if it's still bad in a couple days then we will cover another vet appt. I know she would not make it another couple days so I took her in to show them and didn't seem to care very much. So I said I can't take care of she is getting sick fast. They just said we will give you your money back. It was heart breaking but I just couldn't keep her..... well after that process no lie not even 5 min later they walk her back and put her in the container I originally got her from. I was irate but what could I do. So their is that story, but I found a dealer the does reptiles and contacted him. It's reptile city in lexington SC. He said he will be receiving baby veileds which I'm after later this week from a wholesaler in florida. I was just curious if anyone has heard of him or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've done as much research as possible so I feel comfortable and prepared to take on the task would appreciate any input thank you.
