...and I couldn't be happier to have the raising kitty site. (Brad rocks!)
So I am getting the veiled in these adds tomorrow and am going to try to get her healthy and eating again.
Her owner said:
She was obtained when her daughter was 8 and that the daughter is now a teen and is not caring for the cham. The mother feeds her twice a week by taking her out and getting her to bite a snow pea and then slipping mealworms in while she is chewing. She is housed in a large birdcage with two ceramic heat lamps. She has a UVB bulb but I didn't ask what kind or how long they have had it (I will let you all know when I find out)
I am going to get her a proper basking light, live plants, a big mesh cage and a repti sun. She will get the fare of my chams- crickets, lobster roaches, silkworms, hornworms, supers and waxworms. My vet will also take a look at her and do a fecal. I am also going to provide her extra calcium for the first bit and check her over for anything that may be wrong yet unnoticed. If she has bad MBD, I will give her calcium injections.
So what do you guys think about the tongue thing? I think that she may also be kind of old but if that photo is current, then she is still in pretty good shape considering the circumstances.
I may also be getting what I suspect is a female panther. I went to my chiropractic appointment today and my receptionist asked me if I wanted a chameleon her brother had. She described her as tannish at rest and about six inches long in the body. She has apparently gone through MBD as well (she has broken an arm) because her UVB hadn't been replaced in a year and a half. My number and email was passed on and I am awaiting a call.
We will see how this all turns out- photos to come once I get the chams.
