She gets these little black splotches on her if that's what you mean. You can sort of see it on her upper right leg in the pic. She also gets redish tinges to her but I assume that's normal. Does that mean anything?

Does anyone else think she looks pregnant at least?

My family and I bought a female Jackson's from a petstore a few days ago, and I think she may be gravid. The petstore employee suggested this after I mentioned she looked very overweight. There apparently had been a male Jackson's in there. There had been a Fischer's too. I don't know enough...

Sorry Biggun, just found this thread again. We ended up taking her back to the petstore to recover that Monday I believe (they have a vet that visitd the store) and, last time I heard, she's still not better! Her brother who had the same infection died a few days ago. I wasn't able to tell if...

OK ... thanks for the advice. I just wasn't sure if they were a little more sensitive when newly hatched. I will keep everybody posted on more hatchings and how they make out. Dyesub Dave. :D From what I've read, the babies are more sensitive to temperature changes as they do not...

It depends which type of plant. For a croton plant, which I wanted to try soon, it can be very difficult and take a long time. http://en.allexperts.com/q/House-Plants-721/Croton-Plants.htm: "Use sharp scissors or knife and cut just above the point where a leaf attaches to the stem. You...

Yes, I tried to hand feed her this morning, trying to stimulate her mouth and everything, but it didn't work. Her one eye has opened slightly now, and she has began attempting to hunt around the cage. She is way off, going the opposite direction of the crickets, but she still seems strong, and...

I'll try that, thanks. I'm not completely sure whether she's been eating or not, but I haven't witnessed it. She does seem blind at this point. I don't know if she'd be eating anyway though, since it is a new environment for her. Her eyes were like this even when we came to pick her out on...

Thank you very much for warning me. I will just dab her eyes with water until we can get the terramyacin from the vet on Monday then.

Yeah, my boyfriend brought up the idea, but that's exactly what worried me. We'll probably end up getting the turtle eye drops.

Thanks. I'll keep those in mind, but we might just wait to see if we can get it from the vet on Monday. We'll probably get another reptile eye product at the petstore tomorrow to try out as well.

I live in Pennsylvania, right on the outskirts of Philadelphia. I don't know what you mean by a feed store or farm supply store. We don't have any of those in my area. It appears that most petstores around here don't sell them, but some have them in their vetinary clinics built into the store...

The problem is, it can be difficult to see a vet on the weekend. We're taking her on Monday. She is not closing her eyes, they are sealed shut. We gave her a shower and she seemed to like that. We looked around for terramyacin today. No luck. But if we can't find it tomorrow, we'll just get...

We are chosing to try to self-treat her with the terramyacin or other eyedrops first. The other chameleon's infection sounds like it has cleared up. It doesn't seem to be anything life-threatening, so we are not taking her back and are willing to wait. Really, we've found this petstore's quality...

We talked to the petstore employee. We plan to talk to their vet in a few days if things don't clear up. We'll look for the terramycin. Thanks for the tip.

We talked to the petstore employee. The one other chameleon in the cage had the same problem. It's eyes have opened after rubbing them with q-tips dipped in warm water. I tried the same thing on mine and have been misting her often, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. I'm not sure if she's...

If you think it's a current infection, we're going to call the petstore now, and then the vet.

Yeah, we were referred to a vet by the petstore. We might call in a couple of days, after it's gotten accustomed to its new environment, just to make sure there are no other problems besides this. She seems quite healthy despite everything.

Yes she's just started going after the crickets in the cage, and she seems to lick the water off her face when I mist her. I don't think she's been like this long though, so I'm not sure how it could be a deformation. I think the employee who raised her would have noticed at some point. It does...

The petstore might not have kept the humidity high enough. I could not see a hydrometer, but it seemed that they only watered the chams with a pool with air bubbles. Could lack of humidity have caused this to happen? I've been misting her eyes often, as this is what the petstore employee...
