Follow the directions. I wouldn't be too worried about an overdose. It's hard to overdose with oral vitamins. Just remember there are no standards for things like reptile vitamins, so they don't always have the strength they say they do. Ditto with human vitamins.
It looks like an egg or an ovum. Sometimes you can see the eggs before they are calcified. If it is soft, I would say unshelled egg. If har, then a shelled egg.
What bothers me is how the edges of it are so sharp. That suggests she is perhaps having contractions, is egg bound or is...
@Mikebuurskov The eye looks smaller because he is squinting and pulling his eye into his head. When their eyes are irritated, they will pull they eye back to relieve irritation from the eye lids.
Just looking at your pictures, my gut feeling is it is just debris, possibly some stuck shed...
That was a little harsh @Brodybreaux25 . I think the OP was doing some research.
I think the average ages that you gave a more than a little optimistic. I think you would be hard pressed to find any female veileds that have lived anywhere near 6 years. I 'm sure it is possible to have veileds...
Looks good to me!
I judge a lot by their color. Bright vibrant greens, good; mucky greens not so good and needs investigating.
He looks terrific. Good job.
I don't like bags but most everyone does. I ship in solid sided containers. You can use ZipLock food storage containers. Just drill lots of little holes around the top and make sure there aren't any rough edges.
The trouble with shipping bigger chameleons is finding a plastic deli cup big...
I don't recognize you by your user name, but I think I know who you are. :) Send me an email and we can talk. My advice will be dependent on their ages and their pedigrees. There are very few bloodlines so I want to help you get the most genetically diverse group you can. (y)
What a magnificent sail fin!!! Do you still have him?
He looks more quad than gracilior to me. Do you have better pictures of him? His face and claws? @bobcochran
Please don't suggest something like this. Follow the rules. No chameleon is a service animal and to suggest it is to make a mockery out of true service animals.
I am shocked by the number of obvious pet dogs that go in-cabin as supposed service animals just because their owners are too cheap...
@Neard122
You cannot take a pet reptile on a plane as baggage the way you can a pet dog or cat. They are not allowed, period.
You can ship through Ship Your Reptiles which is how I ship all my babies. Ship Your Reptiles uses FedEx. You cannot ship a reptile directly with FedEx--you have to...
In their defense, the chameleon did not look dead in that first photo.
There have been many people, even quite experienced breeders, who have claimed animals were dead (from the cold) when they were very much alive although very chilled. I know my babies that I ship can look and act pretty...
Are you sure the Jackson's is dead? Dead chameleons usually are a really ugly splotchy yellow color with sunken eyes. They can be very still and curled up just from the stress of shipping and their respiration is very very slow so they might look dead when they aren't.
I'm sorry for your...
Did you cut open the eggs?
I had several malthe clutches taken from dead females that lasted over a year that looked perfect, grew and even sweated. They did not mold over. When I cut open the eggs after they had sweated and shrunk, there was zero development inside. I was surprised that...
As mentioned above, I was in the middle of the aflatoxicosis crisis and didn't take as much care of them as I perhaps should have. I did a diapause that was not really a diapause as I had nothing to base it on. The eggs were laid May 29/17. They might have been produced from a breeding in...
I thought Steve McNarry said he hatched three.
I was in the middle of my aflatoxicosis disaster when they were laid and to be honest, I didn't care if the eggs lived or died. I did a bit of a diapause but it was late and I didn't even try to research it. This is the only one to hatch so far...
I've been avoiding looking in my incubator and debating just tossing all the eggs. I don't think I've looked for two weeks, maybe longer. Today I forced myself to check.
I have no idea when this little one hatched. Baby was active today but not interested in eating so I am hoping it is just...
I would say predation and starvation/lack of water. I can't remember the statistics for juvenile birds of prey but it is something like 80% by the fall or winter of their first year. They die of starvation soon after they leave their parents.
Few babies in the wild would could ever develop a...
