I’m not a scientist and can only speak from what I’ve learned over the years… Chicken, pork, etc all have vitamin A in them in the preformed form. Dairy and eggs also have prEformed vitamin A in. With meats, I would worry about there being too much protein in it…but I’m not sure how much is too...

Have any of you ever heard of this group or heard them play? The Paupers… This might help… “Skip Prokop formed brass rock band Lighthouse in 1969 in Toronto.[“… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paupers

“However, since they cannot efficiently convert carotenoids into vitamin A”…I’d still like to see studies on this for chameleon species that are known to eat vegetation, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. If the supplement has prEformed vitamin A (from meat sources, mainly), the chameleons should be...

“The answer lies in three types of insects: praying mantises, wasps, and flies. “ https://www.chameleons.info/l/the-vitamin-a-mystery-in-chameleons-unleashed/

@Mendez …you said…”It's absolutely amazing that all of you are still on here and actively helping out the community”…I think you’ve forgotten that this is one of the things I think should required to be a member of the forum! So don’t make me have to say abracadabra again!! 😉😁

If it’s from an injury, the tongue can return to normal if the injury is one that can be healed…if it can’t heal (muscle is torn, for instance), the tongue may continue to fall out of the mouth and the chameleon may not be able, at some point, to retract it…then amputation would likely be the...

Don’t touch him if you don’t really have to…you’re going to stress him out even more. You said…”I have been keeping his little cage on a table closer to a window so he might get some sunlight”…he won’t get any UVB through the glass…but that won’t matter for a few days. Whats the temperature...

Hopefully the tests will give an indication of what’s up.

Piebald…the mark makes sense now! I’ve only seen one case of reabsorbing the eggs myself in many years…but the paper I sited seems to indicate it happens more than I was aware of. It’s not something you can see or be sure is happening without X-rays.

Pretty little girl! What’s going on with the dark mark on her left ankle? It is possible for them to regenerate reproductive parts and produce more eggs…but the eggs should show up in the X-rays. I’m not a vet and can’t see eggs in the photo…but I’ve also never looked at an X-ray where the...

Word of warning…don’t squirt water into its mouth…you may make it aspirate the water into the lungs and kill it. Looks much better already. It maybe that you have a new pet!

Glad to hear this! Regarding the sand…there is a type produced by Kings that comes in a white bag with red, blue and yellow sand toys on the front that I’ve used for years. It never causes blockages like some sands can and doesn’t irritate the eyes either. Veiled females can easily live to be...

Can you find out who the teacher gave it to and talk to that person about it? Or at least print off a care sheet about care for that species and have it passed onto the person who got it?

What’s the basking temperature?

Do you have a substrate in your cage? If so, what is it? Artificial plants? What insects have you been feeding your chameleon? What colour was the urate in the last poop?

Welcome to the forum! Please read upon the special care needed to prevent female veiled chameleons from developing reproductive issues such as (dystocia) egg binding and follicular stasis (follicles don’t develop properly). They are a bit like hens…they produce eggs (infertile) without a male...

Hope everyone had a good time last night and that today is the start of a good year ahead…with peace on earth, good health and a good safe year for us all!

Generally, unless you caught it really early, mouth rot needs to be cleaned out well, flushed and the chameleon put on an appropriate antibiotic to kill 5e bacteria involved. The most common bacteria involved is pseudomonas aeruginosa…it’s gram negative and very hard to get rid of. Chameleon pus...
