You are correct, I have both and mixed up my quote. Since I am not sure what to do to help him recover, I felt the best thing is to just do one of each supplement a day to give him a boost, and then start the regular routine. Feeding this week so far: Tuesday - 5 superworms with...

I have the Reptisun power compact (tube, t8) light which gives off UVB, and my basking light is a reptile basking spot lamp that gives off UVA I will look around for plain calcium powder. Ive been watching him a lot since I came home from work, and at first he wouldnt open either...

So today he has both eyes closed. He will open one eye slightly for a few seconds, but it closes before I can feed him a superworm with tongs. He has been hanging out in his basking spot. I just changed my Reptisun 5.0 yesterday, so are there chances that hes resting and absorbing UVB and...

Thanks for the reply! Proper lighting - Believe to be under control. New Reptisun 5.0, and a 2-3 week old UVA basking spot lamp Temperature - Basking spot is 90, bottom of cage is 70. Feeding - Was crickets only prior to today. Vet reccomend varying the diet. Bought large...

I did some reading of the stickies and found this supplementation schedule Adults- Calcium w/o D3 once a week Multivitamin once a month I understand this is the normal supplementation schedule, but at this point should I be using the Calcium without D3 daily while he recovers? Should I...

Ok, so from what I read and gather from searching the forums...there are 3 supplements that should be dusted on the crickets. Daily - Calcium without D3 ( I have zoomed reptivite without d3) 1-2x month - Calcium with D3 (I have Rep-Cal Calcium with D3, phosphorus free) 1-2x a month -...

Calcium without D3, I have that! Reptivite without D3. Calcium is on the analysis of included vitamins. Calcium is also in the Herptivite I just gave him a few minutes ago. Ill start with that tomorrow. Right now I have him in a small travel reptile holder, the lid is vented. It...

Just fed him 5 dusted superworms (used herptivite). Poor little guy, had to use tongs to feed him since his accuracy is off. I have him in a smaller enclosure, to make it easier for him to walk around and to give him a better chance of catching food. I left two dusted superworms in a...

Ok so the vet said he thinks that the eye not opening isnt "the problem" its "a symptom" of a developing problem. He thinks I caught the very early stages of MBD. He said the bones still seem ok, but he said this is metabolic and will develop into MBD. He reccomended I increase my basking...

Vet appt booked for tomorrow afternoon. Going to check for blockage, nutrition, and parasites. Hopefully we get this guy back on track! I have observed him drink twice in the last few hours so hopefully that will hold him over until tomorrow since he isnt eating.

Hi, 2 years ago, I adopted a baby veiled chameleon from someone who was moving and couldnt take it with her. She told me she has a "complete setup" After getting the chameleon, and reading these forums, I found it was vastly inadequate. I purchased tons of new stuff for him when I got...

Correct...the enclosure picture is the only one I have and I took it when I first got the setup. I have since bought a 24" tube reptisun 5.0 light. Also someone asked me about misting...I lightly mist the entire enclosure 3 times a day for 60-90 seconds. The mistking comes back in stock...

mealworms will go to my roomates adult bearded dragon then! Ill buy superworms tomorrow, I know I saw them at the store but figured they would be...well super sized and too big. Ill check em out tomorrow

I remember reading somewhere that fish flakes are high in vitamins so you can gut load critters with them. I only did it once, and wont repeat this. Ive had him for two weeks, and have only been feeding him mealworms and crickets. I will stop with the mealworms and use them as a treat only...

Thanks for the replies! Regarding the basking temperature...Thank you for the feedback, my clamp light is mounted on a microphone stand which makes it really easy to adjust...I raised it a 6" inches higher...now its about 10" from his basking spot and when I put the temp probe on his branch...

Hey everyone, Im a new member, and have been reading the forums for a few weeks now. I had a friend who was moving and could not take her 7month old veiled with her, and I happily accepted her offer to become the new owner (I was shopping for a gecko anyway, and I am really glad I ended up...
