Please do contradict. :) I hadn’t read that, so thank you.

Chameleons are dry shedders, so wetting it will make it stick more. You could gently use a fingernail or even a tong to push up the edge to try to remove it. One of my leopard geckos is ‘special’ and every time he sheds, I have to help. They are moist shedders so it’s a bit different. But I use...

Personally, I would carefully try to remove the shed. If it’s constricting and blocking his circulation, it needs to come off to give the toe any chance. You also want to check the toe and see if it is indeed all black or not. It might be fine. Do you have any silver sulfadiazine by chance...

I can’t tell you if she is gravid or not, as my panther girl has never shown me exactly what it looks like (never laid eggs). She has gone thru just about every color combo and pattern that she possibly could, but no eggs, unless she was super sneaky about it. I can tell you to always be...

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays! 🥳🎂

Happy birthday! Hope you’re having a fantabulous day! 🥳

Okay. :) I’ve got plenty of them.

That’s really odd to me. Seems the basking temp should be too hot if anything. What is the distance between the light and where the thermometer is? Have you tried a different thermometer?

I too have noticed with mine that many have what appears to be stuck shed, but it’s not like normal. It’s very hard and dark brown, ending in an almost black tip. On some of the larger silkies I’ve gently removed it and while it does come off, it seems like a string of black slime and liquid...

Silkies have basically no immune system, so it takes almost nothing to kill them. There are certain viruses and such that they get - flacherie, grasserie, pebrine. For the longest time, I’ve had pretty good luck raising them from egg to moth. Lately though, just as they are getting big enough to...

That’s really odd that your basing temp isn’t higher with that bulb. Is it sitting on top of the enclosure? What are you using to measure the temps? What is the temp of the room?

What kind of basking bulb are you using? Is it like a regular light bulb or a special reptile bulb?

We generally want taller and deeper, but I believe the extra width may compensate, along with taking him out for free range kind of time. You could make him a free range area in the house too, for some spacious exploring time. Oh yes! They are much quicker than you would ever imagine when they...

Yay poop! 🥳

Rest easy now, sassy Neptune. I said it on your other post that there is no doubt at all that he was well loved and cared for and must have had some incredible life with you to make it to such an old old age for a veiled. I hope that gives you some comfort to have given him such a long amazing...
