Translucent veiled or health issue

[Ben82]

Good day everyone.

I was asked yesterday for my opinion on a veiled cham that came by my local vet clinic. From her description over the phone to me it sounded like it wasn’t sick & that it was a translucent veiled. Other than the lack of pigmentation on its legs, it got a clean bill of health. I’ve only ever seen one translucent in person & I was 99% sure so I said I’d post it here for verification so that I didn’t accidentally misdiagnose a possible medical condition. I appreciate any feedback,

Thanks I’m advance.

Yes, that is a translucent male. Hoping he’s got his eyes sucked in from being mad/stressed rather than dehydrated or ill.

Thank you for the reply! I’ll pass that info on to the vet so she can let her client know and make sure they are properly hydrating him

You could always give the people the forum info as well. We can go through husbandry with them. Hard to tell from the pic but the caque appears to be holding extra weight. Would need better pics to determine if this boy is too heavy. But this is a gorgeous translucent Male.

You might want to give the vet a link to this forum…he/she might learn a few things from that too.
