Sick female veiled chameleon
- Thread starter Lisjud
- Start date
Oh no i meant like going by her cage and possibly stressing her. I thought she would change dark due to being sick but shes turning white. When shes feed she starts getting color and especially around her eyes.
Tomorrow at 6p at the grogan mill clinic. Yes its the sooniest they had.

I would just turn off the lights and let her rest. It’s got to be pretty late where you are and you both need the restorative powers of sleep.
Very pale, eyes still closed. I cant afford her vet today either.

Just thinking about you and your girl. Any luck getting to the vet today?
They said shes very dehydrated but also said her body is shutting down due to her age.
She wasnt egg bound and they said 2-3 yrs tops for most females
I've kept chameleons for over 30 years and after I had kept them for a couple of years where I had a learning curve, my veiled females almost always lived to be over 6 and usually to 7 years of age. It's mostly a husbandry issue if they don't.
"Captive-bred females typically live up to five years and males can live up for up to eight years when kept properly"....

So there were no eggs in her? Any follicles?

Vet felt her stomach and said these no sign of any eggs. She was a little over 5 mg and said her weight was good for her size. Basically said spend as much time with her as you can but today her eyes opened so idk
