Heh.. it’s July in Madrid… houses rarely have air conditioning, usually only a room or two… so… outside it’s around 39-40 right now, inside around 33-34 🫠🥲 I got a portable unit for the room but even with that, the lowest I can get during the day is 26-27. It’s… hot. Very hot 🤣
Hello! Just wanted to give you all a quick update. Dali (my cham) is doing SO MUCH better. He still has a tiny sag on his lip but I think it’ll be normal soon. His appetite skyrocketed too. He has an appointment on friday for a checkup but I’m sure he has gained a lot of weight! Thank you all...

I’ll answer all questions and attach pictures:
Flickboy: will add all pictures. Thank you. I turned off the basking light and ordered new fans for the terrarium to take out hot air. I have no...
So, I have a male panther chameleon, 5 months old and I’ve had him for a month. Yesterday I noticed his bottom lip sagging for some reason… he’s drinking, pooping and eating well, but the lip stays the same.., is it metabolic bone disease? I’ve only had him for a month. Supplemented with...
