Aw man, that's terrible :( I'm so sorry.

I haven't been on in a bit, just lurking occasionally. It's been really, really busy since the move! But today is a special day! Two years ago today, a tiny baby Parson's poked his nose out of his shell and into our hearts. Happy 2nd Hatchday, Bucky!

Not me this time :( Thesis is due in 12 days! Eek! Maybe next time. I really really really need some LARGE dubia. Buy me some and deliver to my office in Tribeca? :p:p:p

Absolutely! Taking NYC by storm :D It was very good. I saw Dr. Jessica Grodio - she seemed very knowledgeable about chameleons. I had to fill out a long questionnaire about husbandry before they would even make an appointment. The vet actually had reviewed the questionnaire before the...

It's been awhile since I shared some photos on CF - so here are a few new ones! The first photo is from when I took Bucky to meet the new vet (Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine on the UWS), so he had to hang out at work with me for awhile. Found a great way to make sure he stayed hydrated...

28.2% chameleon mortality in the first year...

When my Ferdinand died, I gave some serious thought to throwing away his custom enclosure - I just couldn't stand looking at the empty cage. I moved it to the garage for awhile. I wasn't sure I could ever have another chameleon. After awhile, I felt a little better and eventually decided that...

What a sad update. Sleep well little Dino.

Long long long warm shower when he arrives and maybe some electrolytes if he will take them without too much stress. Then solitude and hydration until he doesn't look like death. (Ousties do have a more hollow-eyed look than other chams, but he did look rough in those last photos.) At that...

OK cool. I left a message on the other thread. I'm in NYC and would be happy to go over and take a look. I don't know if I could help but I am happy to try to help. Unfortunately, I not available until tomorrow (although I could do something during the day today just not this evening). If...

Hey, I'm in NYC and saw those guys at the show. I can't take him permanently (sounds like you have a home ready), but I would be happy to come over and take a look to see what we can do to make him more comfortable or up his health until he can ship. I'm busy tonight but open tomorrow. You...

Honestly, I wouldn't put anything. It's looks like it's healing well. There is a possibility that he could catch the loose but and tear it off, but I suspect it is healed underneath and detaching. Keep an eye on it for any open wounds, bleeding, or swelling. He's through the worst of it and...

That's a healing burn, happened before he came into your care. Definitely check your temperatures, but that was not your fault. Looks like he wasn't kept in the greatest conditions before - work with your vet and focus on getting him really well hydrated and treating the eye infections. Good...

Peanut butter cup heaven. Damn you, @Decadancin !

https://en.wikivet.net/Lizard_Blood_Values These are the reference blood values the lab noted in your report. Based on what my vet told me, this is about the most reliable references available except for those places lucky enough to have internal test result data banks. Unfortunately, there...

My Jax passed away from liver failure, and I posted his blood results somewhere here. His bloodwork was all over the place with AST levels sky-high at 2000, if I remember right. Yours seem to be closer to normal ranges for reptiles (known values anyway). Slight edema was a symptom but it's not...

These better be good after all that hype.

@kelly_girl199 - You sent me a PM awhile back and I didn't respond. Sorry about that. I actually split my old colony up last year and shared it with several members here. I did start off with a breeder kit from an online seller - paid almost $2 per bug after shipping. They are very slow...

What I loved most about that exchange was that she literally said "Yeah, that's not a thing." No apologetic tone, no sympathy, just deadpan "Yeah, that's not a thing".

I generally am not happy with the packaging of any animals at reptile shows. What vendor really NEEDS a hundred different crested geckos or snakes on display at their booth? Fewer animals displayed really nicely would be a better sell in my opinion (but I don't know how many animals get turned...
