Keeping him as warm an moist as I can but its not looking well. I've got the warm mist blowing right on him but he wont open his eyes at all and he's losing color and having bloody stools.
Found a vet but sadly she won't be in until the day after tomorrow and even more sadly idk if the poor Lil guy will make it that long. He'll climb on my hand if prompted but won't open his eyes or move around except to hold his head upwards.
Thanks for the great info. All those vets are over 4 hrs away so I'll see what I can do. He has a regular humidifier but I'll be buying a warm mist one first thing in the morning.
My Lil guy has been very lethargic the few days. Never had a sick cham. He's around 8 mo. Put him in the shower earlier hoping the steam would help perk him up hes always liked it. Now he's coughing up bubbles. Did I do something wrong?
Unfortunately for the time being I can't set those lights on top 9f the cage because his new one is a nylon mesh instead of screen and would likely melt.
Thanks guys. The lighting is just temporary from his old cage til our pet store gets the long uv bulbs back in. They're always outta everything. He currently has the deep dome light combo hanging in there with the reptisun 5.0 bulb and a 75w basking bulb.
We recently decided to upgrade our veiled chams habitat to something much bigger so he will be more comfortable. Hope it will suffice for now. If you have pictures of your enclosures I'd like to see them for some ideas. Weebo used to be in a little 16x16x36 which you can kinda see in the bottom...
We just got our first jackson cham today and he keeps closing his eyes and sleeping since we got him. Even when being held. Could it possibly just be laziness or maybe sick?
His basking temp at the top of the cage is usually aroun 81ºf, I wouldn't think he gets hot. We've always used that container and empty it every day. Its odd that hes just now goin around it. Guess he gets bored when he can't free range. (Cause his ass disappears for days)
