Veiled Chameleons and Absorbine

m0rgan Sep 15, 2014 12:39 AM

We added a veiled chameleon to our family she` 18 months to 2 yrs old. My husband has her in our bedroom but he uses Absorbine most every night. I won't let him use it until we know if the smell will harm our little girl. If anyone knows whether or not it is harmful to her please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The smell wears off fairly quickly after application, so she should be ok. Seeing as people smoke around these animals, she should be fine. Direct contact with the product will likely irritate the animal

Thanks Cindy Steinle for your response.
I had to take a chance last night and apply the absorbine to husbands back cause he was have muscle spasms.
All is well with Bella. She wasn't sneezing,coughing or breathing hard. So she's fine. Thanks again.
