That's a consideration! Will, Thanks for the enlightenment! I always associate Samenella with turtles and obviously, there are other cold-blooded pets that could be carriers of Samenella, too I have to find another method like heavy misting to soften up shedding skin. I know some...

Sink cleanliness Hi again, Should explain in more detail regarding putting your C. in your kitchen sink as far as cleaniness is concerned. I have a double sink. The one that I use is not used to clean dirty dishes in. I understand the concern for cleaniness but even if you have one...

Provide fresh greens in her diet, too! Hi! Let us know the results of your Vet visit! Added recommendation: Do you have live ficus plants in your enclosure for your Veil to munch on the leaves? If not, provide collard green leaves(use a plastic clip to attach to a branch or put...

Leon looks great!! Hi! It's amazing how much my 8 month old male Veil looks like Leon in coloring!! My Male has that incomplete shedding line on his casque that has been there for several weeks. So long as your Chameleon is alert and eating, drinking, and pooping normally...

Regarding handling of my Veil Hi! I personally feel that Veils or Panthers should be handled on a daily basis so that they will learn to feel comfortable having a hand come toward them and be taken out of their cage with minimal stress. Initially, when my young Male Veil started to hiss...

Need to submit pic in photo contest!! Hi! That pic would be a sure "winner" if you entered that pic in next month's photo contest! That pic also brings a lot of laughter and joy to everybody on the forum especially on those days when we hear of so many "sad" endings to our beloved...

Suggest an Emergency Aid fluid as back-up! Hi! It's good that you're taking him to the Vet and let us all know what the Vet recommends as the course of treatment! Just wanted to suggest a back-up emergency aid to always have on hand although inititally seeing a Vet is always the best...

My interpretation of their black markings. In my opinion, especially the ones with the heavy black markings look like they are survivors of a terrible house fire (meaning they look like burnt cases!). Just my opinion regarding some of their coloring. However, it would be just cool to see at a...

Put a disclaimer if necessary to alert new owners! Hi! I think that it's an excellent idea just to get a more in-dept view of the profiler and how he or she maintains their Chameleons. (Just for personal interest only!) It's obviously not meant for new owners to look at someone else's...

I think water helps during shed time! My Male Veil seems to feel more comfortable when I put him underneath the kitchen faucet sink for a wam shower when he is doing major shedding. The water seems to soften his skin and acts like a natural mineral oil lubricant so that he can shed more...

Other solutions to prevent escapees! Hi! Depending upon the size of your cricket container and sink, I put my small plastic cricket container in my sink whenever I open the top lid for transfers or for gut-loading. Just remember to put a mesh sink drainage block so that escapee won't go...

I think he already shows beautiful pink colors!! Hi! You can look at Screamleons.com web site to see his current pictures of his breeding stock of A. Panthers. Maybe his shows more of a deeper pink tone and it could be due to the camera lighting...etc. but I would certainly be happy to own...

Added possibility why Chameleons can still survive in the wild with parasites: 1. The gut content of insects in the wild are so much more nutrious plus they get so much more variety of insects to eat. (regardless of how much our insects are gut-loaded properly, it can't match the diversity...

Hi everybody, List what insects your Chameleon "will die for" and those insects that he/she ignores or simply refuses to eat.(unless totally starved) My Male Veil: 1. LOVES: Both small and giant Mealworms and Waxworms. 2. HATES: Crickets and Hornworms. 3. ONLY MILD...

What type of food do you use?? Hi! I'm amazed that you can be away for that long of a period and come back with your Chameleons being O.K. ...Sure beats having to pay for a pet sitter each day that you are gone!! What type of insects do you put in the cage when you go away? Is your...

Hi everybody! My husband and I go occassionally on vacations because we do have a very capable pet-sitter who I totally trust to take care of our Male Veil C. However, I don't know what would happen if we ever moved or she retired from pet-sitting because it's hard to find good...

My sympathy for your loss!! Hi! Been there!! I had a Panther die on my husband and I last year. The difference was that it was a very slow downward cycle compared to your sudden loss. Regardless, we also spent a lot of money taking him to this Exotic Vet (Almost $1,000 of Vet bills...

Hope you take my suggestion!! I suggest that you still call a Exotic Vet and book for an appointment as soon as possible!. Basically, your Chameleon is still very young and can't afford having this serious health issue continue on like this anymore! Each day that you delay taking him to an...

Can anyone help me with this one? Sometime in the last couple of weeks, I noticed this small black mark on the back of my veiled, who is a little over six months old. It is about a quarter of an inch long. I can not see any trauma at this mark that might indicate it was in reaction to skin...

Hi everybody! This is the most current update regarding my experiment feeding my silkworms on grated carrots for the past 3 weeks. My silkworms are dying....So weird....They were still doing fine 4 days ago and all of a sudden, I'm finding lots of striveled up, dead mushy silks! I...
