It probably isn’t too short, just not functioning correctly
is she still alive?
is she still alive? most likely will not make it unless you take her to a vet.... THERE ARE OVER 1,000 PAGES ON VEILED CHAMELEON CARE ON THIS WEBSITE
I will. Thank you! I will call the vet tomorrow and make an appointment. Poor little baby has had a tough start, so hopefully we can catch anything and help her out
Hi, just checking to see how your girl is doing. Best of luck in the Vet
Hoping she makes a fast recovery.
So my best guesses are potential MBD and vitamin insufficiency since her previous owners didn't use a UVB light or give her supplements. However, the vet will evaluate her tomorrow to properly diagnose her, and determine the best course of action.
Your husbandry for the most part is fine, but I have a few minor comments:
Misting sessions should be longer duration, 2-5 minutes is better to give her enough time to start drinking.
Daytime humidity is a LITTLE on the low side, try raising it to 30-50%
Since you're using a 10.0 bulb instead of a 5.0, what is the distance to the basking branch?
Final note, since she's a girl she will need a laybin soon. Keep in mind that MBD is extra tricky with girls, because it can contribute to complications with egg laying. An experienced vet should be able to go over this with you though.
@Beman @MissSkittles @kinyonga would any of you be able to comment here?
