Don’t be sorry, those are AWESOME. I’m getting one for the hospital cage. Thanks for the link! This is why forums are SO great!

Where was that when I needed it....lol

Using a dripper and spray bottle, if you’re like me, you still will generate a lot of water on the bottom of the enclosure. I couldn’t find it, but there was a solution I found here after I got my Cham. I simply drilled a 1/2” hole through the bottom pan that drains directly into a bucket...

So are you measuring UVA in those readings? I bought the cheaper Shanghai meter that reads UVB only. It’s amazing how quickly the levels drop in just a matter of inches. I would have never known it unless I had a meter.

He seems to be better this morning. He’s eating but still gaping a little. He may just be trying to dry out from the hornworms yesterday? I stopped by the box store this morning and relayed the parasite problem they have. Hopefully they do something about it. They only had one real little...

Waiting for the store to open to pick up a medium reptibreeze (and all the vines, etc....). That way I can take the next couple of days to sterilize properly. Wife wouldn’t approve another XL. She said once we got Geo healed up I’d probably put another one in it.....(she is sooo smart). Now I...

Which one should I do first? It does seem like a lot for a 36 gram critter.

Veiled Cham 4 months old Eats 20 med crickets a day. Sometimes hornworms, super worms, dubias Light: reptisun 5.0, zoomed 100w basking light Hydration: dripper 3/4 gal per day, fogger at night now, hand misted 3 times per day. All water drains out. White urates Supps: Reptivit by monthly, D3...

Hello everyone, I have a 4 month old Veiled and I took him to the vet today for a check up and fecal. He was ridden with parasites. The gave me metronidazole and Ponazuril. They started the first round at the vet. He was perfectly healthy other than the parasites before. Ate well before...

Me too. I will sterilize his enclosure tomorrow (really not looking forward to that). He’s too stressed out today to do it. I have to pull him out tomorrow anyway to give him meds so I will do it all at the same time.

Funny you said that. I did and had to turn back and get it. When I put it in the fridge, I told myself “don’t forget this”......

UPDATE Took Geo to the vet today with fecal sample. He had every parasite one could have. I brought home 2 different meds. The vet said he is a really healthy Cham other than that. No MBD which she was afraid of considering where he came from. She couldn’t believe he was as hydrated as he...

Sounds great, I’m pretty bad at math so I will definitely research that thread. Very interesting stuff. He has been off hornworms since I noticed the change. About 1-1/2 weeks. Still a little runny. I will let all of you guys know what the doc says Saturday afternoon. Thanks again for all...

Sounds like I’m getting both because I ordered a UVB meter today. Anyway, just to get your opinion, I also ordered Miner-All outdoor for my daily calcium, Miner-All indoor for my bi-weekly calcium, and Reptivit for bi-weekly administration. (I will check out if Reptivit has D3 and will rotate...

What brand/model meter is the best? Planning an Amazon order for his vitamins and calcium, might as well order one at the same time. Also, what is the UVB amount I should target? Should it be consistent throughout the enclosure or more at his basking spot? I think I will wait to take some...

10-4. I will get one scheduled. It’s just been strange that some days the BM’s are formed and some days not. I wasn’t sure if he was over hydrated or if parasites caused fluctuations in fecal consistency like that. Nonetheless, better safe than sorry. My parrot needs a check up anyway, I’ll...

I just realized how old that pick was. I have already installed 4 more vines focusing on horizontal position, and have installed more fake plants. I’ve been a little nervous about the real plants but I guess I should give it a try.

Thank you very much. So if I cut off Hornworms a week ago, how much longer should I give it before scheduling a fecal?

Recommendation on vitamins and calcium? I buy them from the pet store that uses the pre-made stuff, but I give them oranges and carrots. No, I have not had him examined yet.

Thank you for the quick response. He had a 80 watt solar glo that the better pet store in town told me I had to have. Thanks to this forum I found out that I was using the wrong light and switched to the repti sun light last weekend. Not sure if that’s info anyone needed to know.
