I intend to. I have pictures as evidence - including the pictures of the body. I'm going to pursue this legally if I can. If I can't... I'm gonna scare that kid sh*tless and make him think I can.
Thank you. He was so awesome. I just don't see how anyone could have mistreated him. I wish I could have done something. I kept wanting to hold him, to show him affection and pet him and love him... but I know that would have stressed him out.
He got to spend his last day with his abuser, then in a bag, and then finally died in the shade of the only real plant he had probably ever seen. :(:(:(
Thank you so much. Is there anything I could have done differently? I keep second guessing myself on the steam idea. I wanted just enough to raise the temp in the bathroom and to... I don't know. The vet had recommended it once for my tegu and I just thought the humidity would be good for him. I...
I think you were writing that while I posted mine. Please, you or anyone, please tell me if I contributed to Pascal's death. I think all of the changes he suffered today would have caused tremendous stress but if there is any way that I contributed, please tell me. I need to know.
I feel that each of you deserve a personalized response from me for all of the help that you've given... but I have bad news. He didn't even make it a day. I got home and he seemed to be hanging on. I set him up on my bathtub ledge with a spare plant (for cover mostly, because his grip was so...
I hadn't even realized it until you mentioned it, but he has no horn. It appears to have been rubbed off. Assuming that there is no liver damage, do you think the black marks will get better? The only concernably large mark is bewteen his tail base and leg, not on any bone portion. I thought it...
I must admit... this sounds significantly more daunting than I had thought (and I don't mean to downplay how much effort I knew I was getting into). I hope he's okay. If he's angry, that's fine. I would be, too. I just want him to live. I don't know how people can be so cruel.
Good to note...
Thank you for this info. The kid insisted that he had had Pascal for two years. But he also insisted that they can live for 40 years so... I don't know what to believe. I hope he's not wild caught or infested with parasites. I am in the habit of quarantining new pets but... oi... This guy is...
It angers me so much. That stupid kid insisted he was "hand tame." Tried to congratulate himself on being a good pet owner because his chameleon was too weak to hiss at him. :mad::mad::mad:
Okay. I'll see what the vet says but I trust your opinion so I'll probably just wait on the kidney test.
I'm glad you mentioned the potential drool. That probably would have startled me. I definitely don't want to overdo anything, so I'll dedicate myself to making frequent attempts without...
I'll take some pics as soon as I'm able to. Right now he's in a bag and I don't want to disturb him because I'm afraid it will stress him out. It was incredibly hard to get him into that bag... (For the record, the bag is breathable and quite thin - the kind that feeder insects regularly come in...
Forgot to add: I've made a vet appointment but it won't be until Friday. It's the only vet that I trust my reptiles to and he just cannot fit me in sooner.
Not even an hour ago I unexpectedly found myself "rescuing" a Meller's chameleon in horrible condition. I have two veiled chameleons currently and I had a Jackson's chameleon at one time, but I've never had a Meller's. This guys background is completely unknown to me. I can't even be sure of his...
