Don’t touch him if you don’t really have to…you’re going to stress him out even more.
You said…”I have been keeping his little cage on a table closer to a window so he might get some sunlight”…he won’t get any UVB through the glass…but that won’t matter for a few days. Whats the temperature...
Piebald…the mark makes sense now!
I’ve only seen one case of reabsorbing the eggs myself in many years…but the paper I sited seems to indicate it happens more than I was aware of. It’s not something you can see or be sure is happening without X-rays.
Pretty little girl!
What’s going on with the dark mark on her left ankle?
It is possible for them to regenerate reproductive parts and produce more eggs…but the eggs should show up in the X-rays. I’m not a vet and can’t see eggs in the photo…but I’ve also never looked at an X-ray where the...
Word of warning…don’t squirt water into its mouth…you may make it aspirate the water into the lungs and kill it.
Looks much better already. It maybe that you have a new pet!
Glad to hear this!

Veiled females can easily live to be...
Can you find out who the teacher gave it to and talk to that person about it? Or at least print off a care sheet about care for that species and have it passed onto the person who got it?

Welcome to the forum!
Please read upon the special care needed to prevent female veiled chameleons from developing reproductive issues such as (dystocia) egg binding and follicular stasis (follicles don’t develop properly).
They are a bit like hens…they produce eggs (infertile) without a male...
Hope everyone had a good time last night and that today is the start of a good year ahead…with peace on earth, good health and a good safe year for us all!
Generally, unless you caught it really early, mouth rot needs to be cleaned out well, flushed and the chameleon put on an appropriate antibiotic to kill 5e bacteria involved. The most common bacteria involved is pseudomonas aeruginosa…it’s gram negative and very hard to get rid of. Chameleon pus...

Once again…
How long has he not been able to use his tongue?
What supplements do you dust the insects with and how often do you use each supplement? I’m particularly interested in whether the supplements have calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3 in them and what form of vitamin A, if they have...
