First thing are the lights sitting on top of glass? I would get rid of the coil uvb and get the Reptisun or Arcadia 5.0. Some people go with the 10.0. I have no idea what that pro biotic is you were giving. Been on here 8 yrs along with belonging to several Chameleon groups on FB. Not once...
Soaking a chameleon is not suggested. Not sure who gave you that advice. A better way would be to mist your chameleon with warm(not hot ) water. That can make them poop and is far less stressful. Test water on your hand or arm first
Soak in warm water for what purpose? Also, what are your house temps that you feel the need to wrap them to keep them warm? They can take temps into the 40's at night . I highly doubt your house is that cold . If anything, you get a ceramic heat emitter if it gets that cold.
I really dont have any other suggestions for you besides what you are doing. Just curious what the "GI" issue was exactly? Sounds like she has been through an awful lot snd I think sometimes it just takes its toll. At some point you may just have to decide what is best and if putting her...
First, before I get into your set up I would like to know what your other chameleon died from if you know? Also, how long did it live in that enclosure?
Sorry just seeing this. Trying to get more active on here once again! What a beautiful fellow he turned out to be. He was lucky that you decided to keep him and his brother. So sorry you lost him.
Did you post this on Chameleon Central? I saw a Chameleon that looks just like yours. What "burn cream" are you using? Its hard to tell if she is fat or gravid. Do you have a proper lay bin? If you are concerned, take her to a vet and get an xray done to look for eggs
How do you know they were "happy"? How long did you observe this?. What appears to be ok on the outside, may not appear on the inside. Meaning... . certain situations can be stressful on animals when they are forced to cohabitate and signs of illness may take time to manifest. Rule is DON'T...
His eyes look really bad and he may have a sinus infection that is draining into his eyes. It is all connected. I would get him to a vet sooner than later. I would not wait.
You are probably right that they will not take proper care of him. I would take him sooner than later. You don’t want it to get too out of control. It will just progress. Raising the temps might help some, but will not cure an RI if that is what he does indeed have.
I would definitely add some sturdy branches that run horizontally toward the top of the cage. Those vines are too flimsy for him. i would also up the basking temp to about 90. 84 is a little cool for a
Panther. Chameleons do not sneeze. I am not sure what you heard. If he starts holding...
I did not know that those companies sold pet insurance! i knew it was out there, but thought there were specific companies that sold it, not the companies we insure our cars and homes through. Learn something new everyday!
Whatever light you are using, it seems very intense. It hurts my eyes just looking at it. That is from one light? Does not look like your chameleon has many shaded areas to escape the light. Also, those branches are quite flimsy and might work for a baby, but as your chameleon grows, they...
