I was planning to disinfect the cage this weekend, and I'll definitely consider Canvas Chameleons. Thank you so much for all of your help! I think all of my questions are answered (for now;)).

There is a monthly Pittsburgh Reptile Show, and a vender there (total-e-chamz) said he would be back next month. Would it be okay to buy a chameleon from such a big time breeder and from a reptile show? I really want to be able to see the chameleon in person before I purchase it, but I don't...

Is it okay to buy a chameleon from a reptile show? Or is that too dangerous with any cross contamination?

Thank you! I'll check out those breeders and see if they can ship to Pittsburgh. So it is okay to order a chameleon online and ship it versus going to a breeder and making sure it looks healthy before you buy it? And the shipping doesn't harm the chameleon at all either? I'm just a bit...

I never ever handled my female veiled chameleon, and when she was ill towards the end of her life it was very stressful to give her medicine. I think that letting your chameleon build up trust and gradually less stressful memories about being handled will definitely be helpful if you are in...

Thanks for your help and suggestions, ob1ob and jannb! Is there a database or compilation of breeders that I can look through?

In a different thread, I had asked what to look for in a breeder, and someone said a 'small-time' breeder. I asked the breeder and he said he "only had around 3,000 chameleons." I'm guessing that isn't necessarily 'small-time', but I just thought I'd add that information, considering I don't...

Hi everyone! I went to a reptile show last weekend, and I came across a breeder, Craig Long from total-e-chamz, who had gorgeous and healthy looking chameleons on display. My own female veiled chameleon recently passed, and I'm so heartbroken and miss her very much, so it was nice to hang out...

Thank you so much MsCham and jannb! I looked at all of the links, and I think I have a better understanding now. We will scrub/soak everything in vinegar, peroxide, and/or a 1/10 bleach solution. Would that be enough? We are leaning towards a Panther chameleon. Does anyone have any...

Last week, my female velied chameleon passed away after battling unknown illness(es) for two weeks. She was dehydrated for a short amount of time and possibly constipated too. She might have had parasites, but the medicine the vet gave her for that did not help her. We are so devastated that...

Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it. but Iggy did not make it through the day

If anyone has any ideas, please post them on this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/showthread.php?p=1202089#post1202089 Thank you!

Now Iggy is hanging upside down on a wall of her cage. Yesterday she did this too, but was hanging from a branch holding and herself with her hind legs. Does this mean anything? Is she maybe positioning herself to relieve some pressure on her hind legs?

Okay, thanks zlew. I read your other comment. I offered her a worm today, and she did not eat it. I'll try the warm water... The color of the tiny blob was white. Could you specify what an impaction is? Iggy hates being handled. We usually never ever handle her. And the one time she was on my...

After I fed her I wiped off the white stuff and I think it was fecal matter because it was between the consistency of a solid and toothpaste. So like play-doh. This is what she looked like right before bed, the darkness has gone up to her waist now. I did add in the hammock (what she is on...

The feces also showed after the visit to the vet. Because she hadn't been eating for a while, she also hadn't gone to the bathroom often. I try to get a better look at whatever it is on her butt.... I'll call back the vet tomorrow.

The darkness first occurred today, and we saw the vet yesterday. She did not give Iggy an X-ray. The last time Iggy laid eggs was March 7th, and I discussed this with the vet, who agreed it would be too long ago to have left over eggs but too soon to have new eggs. The vet did feel Iggy's...

I've been on this forum a lot lately due to my chameleon's recent health issues. All details of the recent weeks are explained in this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/showthread.php?p=1201998#post1201998 Iggy has been through a lot recently, and at one point I was unsure if she...

Does anyone have any ideas why her hind legs and tail are darker? And why she isn't using her hind legs? Is it a reaction to the medicine? Or is she just exhausted from being sick? I'm worried that I'll have to take her back to the vet... :( because that stressed her out so much that I'm...

I made the changes you suggested and will try to find a plastic tub to catch the water, although there are bars over the substrate. I couldn't find any fecal matter (probably due to the lack of eating) but did bring some of Iggy's saliva that she had thrown up. The vet did not do any tests, and...
