Getting her to drink doesn't really seem to be a problem, at least when compared to other peoples Chams. I see her drink daily, and she usually drinks until she has had enough from the looks of it. How much should they drink daily? 1 cup? 1/4 liter? any idea?

Can't really find any local worms that are high in hydration unfortunately. I currently am using Ice Cubes as a drip system. I just throw one up on her cage and let it melt for the next 1 hour to 1.5 hours

No one 'diagnosed' her with MBD but I was just unsure if those indents were from her leg positioning or if she was just fat or what. As of the urate, I can't get it tested until next week at the soonest. Do you have any suggestions until then? Should I try showering her? I have yet to do this...

I've had my female Jackson's home for a week now and everything seems to be fine. She is a very mild tempered cham and seems very forgiving based on this last week. My current worry is that she is still dehydrated even though I mist her at least 3 times a day if not more and I see her drink for...

Right, I was aware of that but once again, this is a pretty severe case. I wouldn't expect the 'extra' joint to be nearly as prominent at early stages.

I have a hard time agreeing with this as I have never personally seen a female jackson's (any of the 3 species) that has a horn. If you have some evidence or a reference to why you think that, I would be interested. EDIT: Mmmmm, the coloring makes me think female as well and it definitely looks...

Correct me if I am wrong, but MBD seems to be pretty easy to diagnose in a Veiled because of the deformed casque. The amount of deformation would vary though depending on how long it's had to develop.

How does one even accomplish this?

I don't let my Cham any closer then about 6" from my lowest lamp.

Hahaha, it is facing up right. That is just from the orientation of the camera >.<

I've only had my Jackson's home for a few days but I have caught her drinking 3-4 times off various items so just keep looking! It does happen eventually :D

Or just its sunny colors.

My Female Jackson doesn't eat when she is full but she has only been at my house for 3 days so that could still be stress. When she was at my GF's dad's place she would stop eating as well even if there was still food.

Give it 2-3 months. Assuming he is actually a he, (hard to be unsure since you can sex a Veiled from birth) you'll start to see colors soon. How often is he shedding?

That is beyond scary....Was she alright?

Generally when they get to be about a year or so depending on size and attitude towards the feeder

This is scary and sad and I want the full story!

Okay, just got home so here are some more pictures. She has pretty much been dark since I got in and only when I put my hand in her tank does she go a lighter green, even tho I can tell she is a bit agitated with me. I think she is still a bit dehydrated but it's been at least 60% humidity all...

Will do, many thanks for the insights.

Will get pictures up in about 3 hours. On a side note, does anyone know the average eyesight of a Cham? Like how far they can see, stuff along those lines. I ask because I am sure that my Cham can watch me when I lay in bed and watch tv or play computer 8-10 feet away.
