I took Humph to the vet today and he said that his one eye is gone for good.
he kept him there since he needs intensive care and i work 9 hours a day. He said they have a group of people that care for Reptiles and are very knowledgeable with Chameleons.
so keep your fingers crossed. He...
ok, sounds great. i will do that.
I already ordered the Terramycin in case I get that before I get to go to the vet.
I will call my list of vets right now and then we'll see.
Thank you all very much for your support and help, I really need it.
Terramycin! I will get that.
Should I continue with the misting like I've been doing? I don't want to irritate his eye.
It's 530 am now and too early to call a vet, so I have to do that at when I get back home at 430..
Now IF I find a vet, how should I transport him? I have never...
at this point he can't be dehydrated anymore since I have been misting him 5 times a day for 5 days now.
I live in Waynesville MO. There is a vet in Rolla, MO, but he was the one that reccomended the Saline Solution.
Unfortunately I just have the curly UVB bulbs, ReptiGlo... I'm really waiting...

We need to sell our Veiled Chameleon Humphrey.
We just don't have the time that he deserves to spare.
We bought him in May 2011 from a pet store when he was as big as my thumb.
His cage comes with him, but he really does need a bigger one.
I have two pothos plants for the cage. We...
Hello everybody,
it's about that time that Humphrey needs a bigger cage and I've been looking at this one:

now I was wondering if anybody has this cage, since I cannot figure out if there is a bottom door/latch what ever you want to call it, in...
Hello everybody,
Humphrey is eating his Pothos plant like it's his job!!!
I already took out the Hibiscus because he was eating so much of it, that I wanted to give it a bit of a break, now he's munching on his Pothos...
I just put in a big leave of collard green, but last time he...
duh! now I feel like a dummie :o
hehe, but that's cool, I'll check with petsmart and petco.
Plus, I have no idea how big a 2 week old cricket is ???
THANKS !!! like always you guys were a great help
Hello everybody,
I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I've just checked on Mulberry farms and saw that they have 2 week crickets, or 3 week crickets.... what is that?
Humphrey eats about 10-15 crickets a day and the highest amount my petstore can give me is 7 dozen...
thanks guys, I'll check that out and let you know how that works.
no I'm not raising babies, I just started with the chameleon hobby and have my first chameleon (which is still small) and I want to get a variety of food for him.
So far I have Crickets, Hornworms, Silkworms and Waxworms, now...
Hello everybody,
I just received my Fruit Fly Kit (from LLLReptile to make 5 Cultures) in the mail and it all seems great, just that I have no idea what to do with it!
In the box I received was:
5 plastic containers with Lids (plus a bunch of extra lids)
1 Fruit Fly Mix
1 Flightless...
Mission accomplished!
I'm very happy with the result and can't wait to hear what you have to say.
Unfortunately I just cannot get a picture that does the tank justice.
I'd say he has plenty of room to hide and explore.
okay, after I got so many useful tips here I decided to pimp Humphrey's enclosure.
I got all the utensils I need, (I hope) and am working on it.
so far, I just washed the Pothos and Hibiscus and planted them I covered the soil with bigger (non indigestible) rocks so he can't get to the...
Spiders, eh? just any spider?
I have to go to the petstore today and I will ask them if maybe they can get some things in?
Is there some kind of list of things I can offer him? I have a pretty good idea of the live things I can feed, but what else is there?
Hopefully I can get myself to...
awesome! I'll go shopping today and see what I can find. With a little luck I'll find everything I need and will post pictures of the new look tonight.
I have problems finding other food sources then crickets, I live in a small town and the local pet store has only crickets for sale.
