| | The Veiled Chameleon: Veterinarian and Neck Swelling, II |
 | | When I searched the Internet, I found this type of swelling to be commonly mentioned, called "edema", and was attributed more often than not to over supplementing (i.e., powdering crickets, for example) leading to an excess of vitamin A. Well, I very rarely powder crickets for the chameleon. |
 | | I prefer to rely almost exclusively upon gut loading the crickets for the chameleon's nutrition, so I only dust on those rare occasions when I'm feeding crickets to the chameleon without them being gut loaded. |
 | | With both of those possibilities in mind, I'll be giving the chameleon extra crickets in an effort to help her to develop her eggs as soon as possible, and I'll be offering the crickets a grain based gut load in addition to what they've been getting. |
