Noticed my male gaping quite a bit this morning. Outside temps aren’t hot. I’m assuming it’s a respiratory infection. I will bring him into the vet asap.
Please let me know if it could be anything else.
Husbandry:
Kept outside in a 2x2x4, he drinks from drippers during the day, mistking at...
Hello,
I found an awesome documentary that was recently uploaded all about chameleons of Madagascar.
There is amazing up close footage of many species.
Thanks
Hello,
My male Jackson had an extreme cloacal prolapse yesterday, so I rushed him to the vet. I unfortunately do not have photos of the prolapse, but it was quite bad compared to other photos I have seen on the forums.
How can this be prevented in the future? Is it a feeder issue? Hydration...
I keep my Jackson’s outside for most of the year in Huntington Beach/Costa Mesa. You just need to make sure the species you are keeping can withstand the heat, the cold, and lack of humidity in you area. Since I am very close to the coast, my temperatures are very mild for the most part, but can...
Hello,
I recently got the mountain dragons book, and there are some crazy chameleons in here. The book goes over the locations the author visited and the chameleons found there.
I definitely recommend it if you want to see some cool chameleon variety.
Thanks

Hydration:
He gets hydrated via mistking, and when...
He has been moved inside, so let’s see if his basking lamp will help at all. I usually feed dubias, BSFL, crickets, and silkworms. I will try and get him to eat with some superworms if I can find them. Not the most nutritious, but I know he goes crazy for them.
Thanks!

Hello,
I bothered my friend to get new uvb bulbs and he followed through with it. I measured with the solarmeter and it read 12 UV index right at the bulb, and 3 at the basking branches (about 6-7 inches away).
I’d say the next thing here after uvb is proper nutrition. Properly gutloaded...
