poss treatment etc. Maders "reptile medicine and surgery" has a whoel chapter on abscesses.... which was very interesting and informative. Generally, teh only treatment is scraping/CO2 laser ablation (cauterizing the area and killing any bacteria). Because of teh location and her age, i can...

Congratulations! Its always so nice to hear success stories! Congratulations on her second clutch, and on having the persistance to stick with your instinct! Its so wonderful to hear a good outcome every now and then!:D

size differences there is deffinitely a correlation between clutch size and egg size, a chamelons body is a finite space, but the number of eggs can vary hugely! Saem theory goes for the babies themselves, higher temperatures, quicker hatching but smaller babies. Lower temps can take a long...

Hey I also have a male veiled (2 yeasr old) and when he is sleeping he will sometimes get the same black/dark bruised pattern around his eyes, i dont notice it all the time but i think its kind of normal, ive noticed it on and off for quite some time. If this is a problem i hopw someone can let...

lol get ready i wrote you a book! First off, the best thing to do would be to post some pictures so people here at teh forum can help you more. Secondly, ask you dad where he got it, the pet shop might be able to give you more information on what kind it is age, etc. ALSO: there is a "form" of...

Wow! Congratulations on having her for this long! It really is pretty amazing! As for this bump... Only a vet would know for sure, but i had a male Veiled chameleon who developed somethign similar in almost teh exact same spot (only more on his right side), in between his eyes (he is only...

DEFF thats always teh best! If anyone had a pic that would be super helpful... i dont have an oz scale either; just a human one and i dont think hes big enough to register on that...

faves... Ive had both ficus, schifflera (sp?) AND hibiscus all at one point or another... and ive deffinitely had more luck with the ficus, as far as staying alive and providing a good climbing medium for my guy... All the schiffleras ive had have died within a few omnths (sometimes more...

thanks guys :) Hes about two years old CB... im not sure how much he weighs i dont have a gram scale at my house... from jaw to top of his casque hes about 3 1/2 inches? mayeb 4 1/2.... i was just wondering because its fairly easy to see when tehy arent doing well, but i couldnt seem to find...

heehee! :) just playin, but how does one tell if a chameleon is over weight? I know my guy isnt under, but i want to make sure hes not too chubby... just looking for some earmarks or things to look for thanks all :) hes a little pissed in the pic rofl so he might be puffed up a bit

SO JEALOUS! enjoy your new man :) *someday....sigh*

OMG false alarm!! Yesterday evening (after a wake of sorts) we went to remove DEAD tarantula from tank to take to teh vet for sexing, and lo and behold; he MOVES! Imagine the scream :) he was still upsidedown and such, but deff alive... so instead we show up at the vets office with a LIVE...

BIGGER sigh i have deffinitely seen the "bulb" appendages on his pedipalps; and especially when he did his little mating thing ;) Unfortunately i came home teh otehr day to find him flipped over (so he was rightside up) with teh shed still attached to him, and my vet was going to come over to...

congrats! Congratulations on your new gecko! They really are so cool, and surprisingly easy to care for :) It seems like whoever posted before me really gave you a good outline/care sheet, so i would follow that, but as for your question on the sand in the feces... Sometimes geckos will eat...

sigh yeah i also have a smaller flame-legged tarantula (and i KNOW shes a female) and she has molted about once every 1 1/2 months but thats normal for females and babies, and she is both(as far as i know adult females will molt about once a year depending on food etc.). Just an Update: "He"...

Ok so not really :) however.... Ive had a rose hair tarantula for almost 2 and a half years now, and i was under the impression that it was a "He" because he shed about a year after i first got him, (i didnt know about determination of sex via shed at the time), and proceeded to engage in...

looks like there might be some gout From the pics you posted it looks like she might have some gout going on (does she have a very "mushy" swelling under her chin/on her throat?) that could be a result of some high intensity supplementing either at petco or since youve had her (or also from...

inc. temps i kept mine at 76 give or take a few degrees, and it took them about 7 months to hatch... has anyone noticed a corelation between inc. temperature and hatching speeds? I know that the sooner they hatch the smaller they are; but does temp affect this?

hmm no i've never heard of it... however i dont think it should really pose a problem to your eggs as long as the matreial isnt rough to teh point of being sharp-sharp... that being said, it also sounds majorly like a scam to lure in someone to spend some extra dollars on an non-essential...

Congrats! Its so amazing to see the little ones for teh first time!!! good luck, they eat like horses!
