She's lightened up and has pinks again for the first time since getting her home. :) Honestly, I never even thought about it bothering her once she saw him and didn't immediately react. My tree frog went ballistic the first time she saw him, so I look for similar reactions from anything else...

But the pet stores can't or won't tell you the proper care information for any of these. They won't even tell someone their little 2 inch goldfish is going to hit a foot long and need an actual pond. They certainly don't tell people that little iguana is going to hit 4 feet and need a room to...

I replace vitamins and anything with D3 every 12 months. Vitamins oxidize over time, and they're cheap enough that once a year doesn't cost much for peace of mind. :)

This was information straight from our veterinarian - not something that I decided on my own since my cat didn't get sick. :) I wouldn't suggest using it, I just don't like seeing people spread the myth that their animal is going to die from it. The only thing toxic in it is the sap, and it can...

If you can copy/paste the questions that are located here and answer them, it'll give these guys and gals a better idea of what might be wrong. Pictures of your enclosure and of Persia will help, too! https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

They aren't! I used to think that until our first cat ate a giant one overnight. We panicked but the vet explained that nothing was going to happen, except maybe her bringing it back up because it didn't sit right. (Same thing that happens if they eat too much grass.)

I get the whole reason behind keeping the females cooler (smaller clutches), but what is the benefit behind keeping the males warmer? In the wild wouldn't they be found at the exact same temperatures? I haven't seen any explanation of why both sexes wouldn't do better at the same lower temp and...

They aren't toxic to humans or mammals - that one is a long held myth. They are however in the spurge family (native to Mexico) and do have a latex sap that can cause skin reactions in some people. There are other common house plants that aren't recommended for veileds because they also have...

Yep, I do the same thing on all of the hygrometers in the house once a month, since they can fail without warning.

You don't even need that much salt! Even just a Tablespoon dampened with a few drops of water (paste-like) is enough to give you the 75% reading in 6 hours in a tiny container or plastic bag.

Welp, never should have opened my mouth either...

Jane still had previous shed stuck to her when she shed the first time for me - and she looked perfect afterwards. Humidity and good care make all the difference! I'm sure Monty will come out looking gorgeous. :)

There are people who do this with dogs and cats, too. It's not just reptiles and fish and crustaceans and "cheap" pets!

How long did it take? I've been waiting on mine for over two months now and still haven't seen anything.

When syringe feeding food, the mixture usually has a lot more moisture than their normal diet would, so they'll be getting more fluids and not wanting to drink as much. Something to keep in mind and run past the vet. :) Not sure about the pooping thing. Hopefully he'll have an answer!

He's said how old he was before. I never think age is an excuse and I never treat anyone differently because of how old or young they are, but does no one here have kids, step-kids or younger siblings? It's not always easy to get them to understand complete concepts, especially when they are...

I apologize in advance, I've got MBD and UVB running through my head all the time right now. I can see a daylight blue and a red night heat bulb, but I don't see any form of UVB on the top the cage for him in the photo? Hoping it's out of frame somewhere. :)

Will do!

All chameleon species are equatorial and used to a 12 hour cycle, no matter the time of year, right? My critter room is pretty dark without lighting, so I used timers on everything and have them set to 9am on and 9pm off. I sleep during the day, so that gives me some time in the evening to...

I saw in another topic where chameleons are afraid of snakes.... I hadn't been able to figure out why Jane was always so dark when most of the females I see posted here are such a happy green. She eats without a moment's hesitation and basks in the open all day long, but could she be showing...
