    Yoshi The Dinosaur

    I found it’s a journey of learning, changing and growing. :) Having two minute mistings better provides Yoshi more time to stimulate his drinking and freshen up his eyes. *I hate to use the term ‘clean’ his eyes, but they do tend to enjoy the moisture and move their eyes around in it. His...

    White mass on Veiled Chameleon lip

    That is called ‘time for a vet visit’. I’m not sure if it’s a papilloma. I think it’s probably a scab or similar which is coming from a case of stomatitis (aka mouth rot). Best to have it checked and treated asap, as left untreated the infection can make its way down into the bone. Attaching our...

    Underweight?

    I usually look to the casque to determine body size, and your guy’s casque looks perfect. I wouldn’t worry about seeing ribs, as that can be normal at times. I do wonder about being able to see the indent along his spine though, but maybe that is just his position. Maybe this will help.

    Panther Chameleon stays brown mostly, help please advise.

    Hi and welcome. :) Ziggy Stardust is a cutie! Love his name too! 🥰 I’m not seeing anything in your husbandry that is off. Your uvb bulb is too strong, but you’ve adjusted the distance appropriately and checked uv index, so it’s fine. Which ReptiVite are you using - the one with or without D3...

    Yoshi The Dinosaur

    Hi and welcome! :) Yoshi is quite the handsome big guy. Since you gave all of your info, I’ll give you some constructive feedback. Enclosure 1) Reptisun 18”x18”x38” (on 10am-10pm, timer) Your big guy has already outgrown this size and needs larger. The minimum size for an adult veiled is 2x2x4’...

    Puzzled Vet Student - Tongue Issues?

    Hi. This is what I use and I think it’s great. While nothing is 100% escape proof, this is pretty good for containing most feeders. Bsfl and wax worms can easily squirm out within seconds. If you only tack the corners and not in between, roaches can crawl thru...

    roaches stuck to mouth

    That’s been what I’ve wondered when my panthers hold a bug in their mouth and don’t chew right away. Are they savoring the taste? Maybe they like the feel of the little legs kicking inside their mouth? Maybe it’s the opposite and they’re like, “Ugh! This is gross! Now I suppose I have to chew...

    roaches stuck to mouth

    They are usually able to manipulate their food in their mouth, so I wouldn’t worry about any sticking. I’ve noticed it only with my panthers that they will take a feeder, usually a discoid, and hold it in their mouth for what seems like a long time (is probably less than a minute). No idea why...
