Hello all! My fiance & I are the proud owners of a 1 yr old Veiled chameleon named Buddha - he's literally the BEST & we love him with all our hearts. We're always looking for ways to upgrade his enclosure (2'x2'x4' mesh) & I think the next step is implementing an automated misting system to the...
I vote Neosporin (no pain relief, just plain ointment) for now.. if it's an open wound, your priority should be limiting infection. If it gets worse or doesn't heal in the next couple weeks, take him in! Our vet said chameleons are notoriously slow healers, so it may take some time to see any...
Crickets are good as long as they're loaded & dusted before feeding. Ours really likes hornworms & silkworms, which is his main diet. It was a lot to learn, the intricate diet & nutritional requirements our lil guys have. If he hasn't gotten the proper nutrients throughout his growth spurts...
I believe our chams should be getting calcium without D3 daily, calcium with D3 once a month & a herp multivite once a month.. seems like your current dust schedule is a little light. Are you gut loading the insects & what types do you use as feeders?
Hello! We have a male Veiled too & you're right, your chams casque does look a little small. How long have you had him in your care & what's his supplement schedule / diet like?
Do yourself justice & take those couple days to recoup!! Sometimes us good hearted people need to be careful we don't get taken advantage of.. Too bad they weren't more grateful for all the help they've already received from you! Hang in there!(y)
Here's our little collection of books! I may even prefer them over the internet sometimes.. ha!
Also, what's the difference between your two Petr Nečas books (Nature's Hidden Jewels)? I see we have one of the same.. does the one with the Parsonii lookin cham on the cover have different...
Aww, your cham looks great! Keep the humidity up & he should work it out. We give our Veiled a bath a couple times a week, he loves it & it's great for his skin, especially during shedding. Use luke warm water, no deeper than what he can hold his head above. Our Veiled is also very tame & every...
Hello! Also from MN here - we struggle with keeping our veileds humidity up in our mesh enclosure.. Thanks for sharing! I've been contemplating a Mist King for a while. Maybe it's time to pull the plug.
Do his eyes appear sunken at all? Whats its overall behavior? Maybe some pix would help & to fill out the guide for asking for help~ I hope the little one is okay!!
A little cutie you have there!! It'll definitely take him a couple weeks to get settled in & grow accustomed to you. Start attemping to hand feeding early - he'll start to gain positive associations with you, that'll reduce the stress of handling overtime. What temp is his basking spot...
