Ahhh...Romeo, Romeo. Such a beauty and one of the most friendly chams I have ever met!!

Well, I learned something from this post Miss Lily! I noticed today when I took my veiled out for a sun tan...flattened body into the sun. I wondered at that point the reason behind that and then when I picked him back up, one side was dark and the other was normal color (I was actually going to...

I suspect a burn, his colors should not be coming in yet and any dark colored patches are a cause for concern.

Go on the CITES website, you'll find many cham species on there. http://www.cites.org/

Looks like graceful b/c of the faint vertical stripes.... http://i.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/98883681.FUuUAbsT.0grace0274.jpg

I was wondering about those fruit/vegetable washes, but I will stick with plain old dish soap. Thanks again

Pesticides...after all the work I am putting into my rescued veiled, I don't want to chance it....

Very good, thanks! :D

Does anyone have a recommendation for cleaning the leaves of newly purchased plants? I'm hesitant to use soap b/c of left over residue... Thanks! Allison

Oh and they are noctornal and hang around lights....and the females have an ovipositor at the end of the abdomen for laying eggs, which looks like it in the last pic...

It does kinda look like a red Ichneumon wasp....hard to tell exactly from the pic...

Ok Juli...tell me how you can tell...:D

So far, "Omar" is still hanging in there. His eyes are the same, sunken in and closed despite my best re-hyrdation efforts. Any suggestions on that? Do they absorb fluids through the vent like bearded dragons? He is pooping more, but it is a lighter brownish grey color. Still eating and drinking...

I did a quick necropsy last night, turns out it was a male, so no egg binding. All the organs looked fine. Temps were in the mid 70's during the day, cooler at night. Humidity was always around 70, which is optimal. Very strange.

Well I'll bite. I learned to never take advice from a petstore no matter how knowledgeable they seem. Do your own research. For example, my first cham was a jackson's....they told me hot and dry (basically what a veiled would like)...wrong. I basically cooked the poor thing before I realized...

Veiled has not been in the house or in contact with the pygmy. Which makes it more of a mystery.

Well, I posted about the veiled in the health section. New rescue, emaciated, dehydrated, eyes shut. He's doing better and going for another vet check tomorrow am.

Well, I joined to get advice on my newly rescued veiled....and i just discovered my bearded pygmy was dead. Not a clue as to why. Only had her for a few months and she has been eating and drinking great.....she was supposedly 6 months when I got her. I am stunned and stumped...:confused:

Thanks Carol! Yes we are neighbors. Small world. I doubt I will get any info from the original owner, but I do know he was housed in an extra large exo terra terrarium. Not the ideal size or setup. If he is blind, he can live out his life on the patio being handfed :) His color has already...

I emailed the guy I got him from to see if he knew any info from the woman he got him from, but I doubt I will hear back. I will take him back in tomorrow to get re-checked.
