Hi Draven,
Where and what age did you purchase your little guy? How long ago did you notice the puffy eye? Did he seem in excellent health when you got him?

Thanks Cham Man for a recommended UV Meter.
I have to admit that I was shocked at the cost but if that is the going price....I think I will pass siimply on the cost and just make sure to change his UV florescent tube light at least within a year's time.(I have...

Is there live plant leaves for Pablo to eat??
Hi!
Do you provide Pablo with any live plants to eat especially since Veils always tend to nibble on greenery. Extremely important for Vitamin A intake.
If he doesn't get the necessary Vitamin A, it could lead to lethargy and eventually...
Use kitchen towels and big sponges to collect water!
Hi!
First, I put kitchen towels on the very bottem of the cage floor. On top of the towels, I lay down big size thick sponges.(Cut to size if necessary). Excellent absorber of water and in addition, the wet sponges(after you do heavy...
Emphasizing importance of adding real plants in cage!

Very important that you put a real plant in your cage (Ficus plants are highly recommended) because Veils do eat the leaves and it's a very important natural Vitamin A source for their overall health and well-being!!

Where did you get your Parsons from??
Hi!
Awesome specimen!!
I have heard that it is extremely difficult and rare to obtain a Parson so how were lucky enough to get one?? Especially one that young!
How expensive are they when you get them as babies??
Christine
Hi!
I believe in Chameleon "handling" on a daily basis to get them used to human contact. Obviously, it means allowing them to be perched on your hand or shoulder.
You can initially start off by physically doing light touching on your C. in his/her cage. At the beginning, there will be...
To NDeuser,
I'm glad that you were smart enough to know to purchase a baby C. from a reptile show and not a pet shop because most of the show vendors are very reputable breeders.
However, isn't that awfully young for a breeder to sell a baby that young(less than 3 months of age) due...
Ready for more female breeding questions!!

First of all, I want to thank all the breeders that responded back to my questions because I think there are enough of us on the forum that may find this information extremely valuable to enrich their own knowledge simply if they plan to breed...
More questions related to the female!
Hi!
How do you preven a female from producing infertile eggs? Is it true that even if you don't own a Male, a female can still produce infertile eggs? And let's say you do own a Male, does that mean you never visually expose the female to the Male if...

Hi Anabelle,
Usually, a gaping mouth means that the temps are too high for him or he's thirsty. Try squirting warm water from a water bottle in his mouth for hydration and/or reduce the wattage on your basking lamp.
Another concern that I have is that you have no live...

Try Collard Green Leaves in cage.
To Niki:
I, too have had no success in the past with real plants in my cage set-up,
My solution: Currently, I have a large Silk artificial Photo plant in my Veil's cage. However, I do supplement him with real leaves to eat is by hanging freshly...
Use big sponges as the bottem substrate.
Hi!
My advice as a way to increase the humidity is to use big sponges on the cage floor. Spray or soak the sponges with water. Learned this from an exotic Vet. I also have absorbent cloth towels underneath the sponges so that it absorbs all the...

Hi!
Out of curiosity, who has a long-lived Veil and how big is it?
Right now, my 9 month old male Veil is now 18 inches long and weighs 170 gm. Hard to believe that he was only 3 inches(N-S length) at 3 months when I got him.
The most biggest and longest Veil that I saw was...
