Yeah, that's what I was told. I already dropped him off at the vet and am waiting for a quote for the higher end necropsy, so hopefully they're storing him correctly. Poor buddy.

I decided to go full send and get a quote for a full on exotics pathologist because I NEED to know, and peace of mind is important. If that's insanely expensive, I'll pay for a more expert generalized necropsy. I want to know what happened and be able to share the info with people here if it can...

TL;Dr: So Boogie is dead. He's barely a year old. I want to know if you think a general necropsy is valuable. $110... Sending to an exotics pathologist is going to probably bust 300 and I don't have that to spend. I don't know what happened. I religiously follow the husbandry from...

I dunno how much help it'll be, but when Little Guy got sick, his whole back half went super pale. The vet said that's usually caused by a bloodflow issue. Something in Little Guy's guts was blocking bloodflow from hips back through his tail. I suspect it was tumors (he had cancer) in his guts...

For transport, I just have a stick in a cardboard box that I've poked through and hot glued so that it's stable. Then I get Boogie into the box (sometimes with an effort lol) and then close the top. The darkness makes him go to sleep so he hangs onto the branch tight, and the trip isn't...

So the vet saying 80-100% humidity during the day is VERY INCORRECT. That'll cause an RI real fast. It should be 40-50% in the day with enough time for the cage to ENTIRELY dry out, and 80-100% at night, with temps in the 60s Fahrenheit. As far as eating goes, chams aren't like humans or...

Looks like coloring to me! I wouldn't wash his feet, there's likely no need.

Welcome to the forum! You have a gorgeous boy! The first thing that sticks out to me is your supplementation - are you putting repashy plus LoD on your feeders every feeding? If that's the case, he's probably been overdosed on vitamins. For every daily feeding, you should be using pure...

Did they say which parasite it was?

I have the dragon strand hybrid cage (I'm in New Mexico where it's HELLA DRY) and I love it. It's kept my humidity where it's supposed to be, and that's without a fan on top and a couple short misting sessions during the day to keep my humidity right. I also had it when I lived in Ohio, and a...

YESSSS!!! How wonderful! I had no idea a chameleon could be considered an emotional support pet!

Haha feel free to keep sharing here too! We love updates. :)

That looks great! IT won't take long for that pothos to try and take over everything, and Neelix will have tons of places to explore and hide! IF you're anything like me and can't keep plants alive, I had to add a grow light to keep things alive.... lol. This is what I got...

Howdy! My only initial concern would be the fiber wrap you have on the back right area. I'd be worried the little fibers might fall off, and when chams shed they rub their faces and eyes on things to get rid of the skin. If those little fibers shed off, they can cause debris to get caught in...

Stones are okay if he can't eat them. Suuuper excited to see what you do with his new enclosure! Oh and also above mentioned 90-95 basking temp.... That's too warm, especially with that big 'ol casque of his - that walks the line of thermal burn territory and those can get nasty. I keep my...

Not sure if it's been said, but you want to wash all the plants you have with water and if possible, repot them with organic only soil - even better if you can put big stones (too big for your cham to eat) over the soil in the pots so that he's not tempted to munch on the dirt. The general...

Sending love and good vibes! Hopefully the vet can help and offer some answers for your lovely girl.

Welcome!!! it's SO wonderful to see someone so open to info and such a quick effort to correct this poor cham's life. You're doing wonderful things for him. I don't have anything to add, everyone here covered it, but I wanted to welcome you and repeat what's been said - we want to see pictures...

Hugs! He was a lovely boy. Glad you were able to give him a good life. <3

Just so you know, no UVB gets through glass - the sunbathing is warm but it's not beneficial from the UVB side.
