JMHO-
Welcome- What a pretty boy :)
Looks like he is getting ready to shed but I would take him to a vet to make sure there is nothing wrong. He should not be sleeping in your hand and the black "Stress" could indicate other issue, since his eyes are closed.
A vet can check some things out that...
Were the eggs fertile? I would crack open the one that is too far gone and look for embryo or veins. JMHO(y)
If yes, get some anti-fungal power for the others that can be saved (I know a product that works).
Update! 3/1/2023
Hercules had her second shed last week and is starting to gain some size.
Her eyesight is still very off as everything that approaches her, she is afraid of. This includes all size crickets, but she does eat since the crickets are gone and she is pooping too. Also, most...
""The Ficus Menabeensis is a tropical tree that is found in the rainforest of Madagascar"""
No opinion yet but will read more about subspecies we use. (y)
Can you share the CG post? Most Veiled at reptile shows are CB, but Chameleon hunters in Florida are wise to the importance of that title (CB) too.
JMHO- Usually they don't sell CB adult veiled chameleons at shows (babies are much more desirable). Adult Jacksons, panthers are usually the big...
Welcome- Maybe you can share the CG pic. I have seen (recently) very - very sick veiled chams on it. This is California CG and listed as wrong species too.
Love the veiled, because you can't predict their attitudes. No matter how much you are around them. :ROFLMAO: (y) Some are great and...
Anything is possible since I don't know much about translucent and eyes etc.....
Always open to ideas, thanks.
She was the only one born this way. Figured it was a defect and she would have died after a few days. We will see. (y)
UPDATE! Yes--- So excited with her vision changes. I am really blessed to have the extra time to witness all that is happening.
2 nights ago, she followed a large cricket but was more afraid of it than wanting to eat it. Remember, I am just so happy she is able to see something (this is all...
When she was born, she never looked at anything, but her eyes moved normal. Example: I can wave items Infront of her and she would not react.
I do have videos of all her changes and someday will learn how to download to share.
1. The feeding process is complicated since the first month and a...
Update:
As mentioned before Hercules was starting to notice my movements but still does not focus on food items (baby crickets, fruitflies and other tiny worms).
She definitely notices me now. ha ha I am SO SO proud of her attitude. :D:D(y)
So, multiple times in the day I will sit and hold her...
Great info
I was blessed to attend the Reptile Show 2023 in Pomona CA. The Meller Breeder was here with their line of Terrariums/cages (great looking products). They did not bring the Mellers this year, but last year did get to see them. AWESOME!
Had a great conversation concerning Mellers and...
JMHO- He actually looks great to me. Just finishing his shed makes things look bad but more pictures would be needed.
Plus, Males are very moody most of the time. :ROFLMAO:
Can you share some full body shots? Thanks!
Is what we are seeing crust from meds or infection oozing out?
How is the other eye?
When was the last time your baby ate? Very important to know exactly what was eaten and the last time (personally observed).
MissSkittles request will help others chime-in to assist.
JMHO- Daily pictures would...
Hercules did not eat for the first 3 days, which is kind of normal for babies. I noticed she would walk and move her eyes normal but never had a reaction to me cleaning or feeding. She never looked at the flies or baby crickets (I can be over observant at times to a fault). Day 4 I recorded her...
So---Hercules is 2 months old today but her future is uncertain. There are so many things different about this little one.
1. When she hatched, she walked right onto my finger. Weird! Almost all of her siblings ran from the Giant. :) (y)
So- I became instantly attached and decided she would be...
