This is one of my favorite stories ever! Amazing, inspiring, touching. A great example of how chameleons do things in their "own time" and how much patience they really do require. And you have a magnificent reward sitting on that scale. Can't say enough good things and send more wishes for...

Thank you another good reason not to have free-ranging insects.

Give it some time and we will be here.

Is he named because his chores are always on your "to do" list?? :ROFLMAO:

This is ONLY a guess. But I believe that being wormed could potentially cause some intestinal distress/mild pain. (like taking a laxative and getting cramping). If the cham experiences this, he could associate it with his cage/try to "escape" it. This has sort of a precedent in mammals-If a...

Where are you, I don't want to send through freezing temps. Could you use 100 for $20 including priority shipping?

Due to weather fluctuations, I am inundated with silkworms. To the tune of several hundred for 5 lizards...Anyone in Orange County Ca need some? I would consider shipping also

Only bacterial not viral so a cold or flu is not a problem. Even if you had strep/bacterial fine as long as you wash hands well first.

Same!

So sorry to hear this but you are doing the compassionate thing. We are all thinking of you.

I have used Carnivore Critical Care successfully with frogs. Some of the proteins are pre-digested so it is good for very debilitated animals; however, it has a lot of supplements in it which would make me nervous to use for more than a couple of days. I like the idea of the cricket powder a lot!

OMG that is 10X the dose. Hopefully the vet will get you straightened out! I personally think it is less stressful for the cham to give a quick jab in the leg versus giving oral meds-they are bitter and really unpleasant for the cham. I got to the point that I could do this without even taking...

I am so sorry to hear he is not doing well. You might ask if the vet is willing to give you some syringes of saline to give subQ fluids for even 2-3 days, sometimes it can make a huge difference. If he is not perking up after that and you feel he is suffering, then most vets would agree to a...

RI could involve sinuses potentially. Very glad antibiotic changed from Amikacin that one is nasty. Can you tempt him to eat Silks or hornworms? He needs the hydration.

Here is how to do it. 1. Find a cham that is gorgeous and has a very docile temperament, loves to climb out on you. 2. Tell hubby he can have this for his own and he can name it 3. Discover that he now loves ALL your chams and tells everyone about how to take care of them despite never...

I just leave them be in the same con tainer where I feed the larvae with veg in the coco coir. Once a week add more larvae for a steady supply. Eventually the coir gets soggy ( but never smells) so I dump it on the garden for enrichment and start a new batch.

This really affected me because of the dignity he faced it with. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Excuse my premature posting above. I was going to say that I use 2 sterilite containers, one to move the bugs into while I clean out the dirty one to use the next time. And toilet paper rolls make removing bugs for dusting easy; just shake some into the dusting container. Also after years of...

Elizaann, we might want to add for them that handling is fine to take the cham outside for sun (supervised, secure cage with access to shade and very carefully at this size). Because this is a regular event and has a big reward at the end (sun!!) I feel it helps my chams become way more...

She will blossom in there!
