Thanks, it's amazing to me how quickly he bounced back with really minimal changes in his care, he really is a testament to proper cham husbandry. He's eating and drinking right from my hand now, and his colors get better everyday. Here's a pic of the "hole" the green lump left after it fell...

Oooh, good to know, I figured puss was always the same, maybe that is what it is. Not on any meds yet, I just got him at the beginning of last week in TERRIBLE shape and made an appointment for the middle of next week at my herp vet so have been trying to nurse him back to health in the...

So I know some of you know about my little Picasso and the horrible ordeal he's been healing from. Well, yesterday it was really sunny so I took him outside for some sun and as he was moving around on my hand rubbed his side (not on purpose) on my thumb and the, what I thought were sores, on his...

I couldn't get it to either...

Love! My Sophie is your dachsy's twin! And she's always burrowing into my couch, I though I lost her for a whole day once, we looked EVERYWHERE, inside, outside, I had my neighbors out after dark with flashlights in the woods hollering her name till after midnight. When I woke up early the next...

He a gorgeous boy, btw!!!! I wish you the best of luck with him:)

Oh, and usually I fill up a 10ml syringe and have been doing it twice a day. I had called my herp vet and that's what he suggested as long as he tolerated it (didn't throw up) but my boy is a full grown adult, about 3 years old, so you might want to use 5ml at a time instead since your boy is a...

I use an oral syringe and push the tip to the tip of his mouth with some gentle pressure until he opens and inject a little fluid as far back in his mouth as possible to try to avoid his accidently aspirating it. I wait for him to finish swallowing and repeat about 3-4 times until the syringe is...

Hey hun! So sorry to hear your little guy is sick, I recently rescued a panther who was in terrible shape but is now doing much much better so thought Id share some of the things that have worked really well for my little guy. My panther was terribley dehydrated and too weak to get to the...

Yeah... ...I agree, Ill just bring him in next week when he has his appointment, was just wondering what you all would do. He blows my mind everyday with how quickly he recovered with real minimal changes to his care. Swapped out a toxic rhododendron for an umbrella plant, installed a 10.0 uvb...

Well, Picasso is doing so well I'm wondering if I should even put him through the stress of packing him up and going to the vet next week. It's about an hour ride in the car one way. All the sores look like they're healing up really well (and fast), the swelling is gone in his feet and even the...

So so so glad to have found this site, what a wonderful place! I've been keeping reptiles for over 10+ years now and have had quite a few chams throughout but when I found out I was pregnant August of last year I kinda put my beloved hobby on hold to put all my energy into having my first child...

Great! Thanks! Ive been really wanting to give him some pedialite but wanted to make sure it would be safe first, he's had such a rough time in life, last thing I want to do is make him feel any crummier. His story is way to long to tell again here but a few posts down you can find out about...

I've asked a couple times in my other posts but haven't gotten a response yet so trying again:) Was wondering if I could add some pedialite to Picasso's water supply to give him a boost in electrolytes to aid in his healing? He's doing so so much better but is still a tad weak and sleeping a...

He's doing so good! I snapped some pics right when he was waking up this morning, was looking better then ever! So so happy, thanks so much for all the great advice and support guys, especially being so new to this forum. Still going to the vet next week and hopefully he'll tell me what Im now...

Wow, thanks everyone:) I was just trying to do the right thing, as bad as he looked the setup was really good and with only a few changes was prefect to keep a cham nice and healthy so I knew I had a good shot at getting him well again, which was lucky cuz I don't think I could have afforded to...

I'm planning on picking up a ceramic heat emitter next time Im near a pet shop but the red bulb is the best I can do at the moment. We have an older kinda drafty house and can get quite chilly at night so I feel a little more comfortable having at least some kind of heat on him at night. Once he...

Thanks! Thanks everyone, I really am happy he seems to be responding so well, I can't wait to see how his fired up colors look once he's 100% tip top! After only 3 days his colors are already stunning, at rest he's a really nice all over deep blue but honestly, even with bumpys all over he's...

As far as bulbs I have a uvb strip light mounted inside the cage toward the top back and a 100 watt basking spot light and 75 watt nighttime basking spotlight in the double dome with the probe for the digital thermometer positioned right underneath. Here's a pic of how he fell asleep last...

Another shot of his face and head bumps. You can see how much smaller the face bumps are from the first pics I posted a couple days ago....
