Rightly so! I could never change out any of our animals and certainly not just for the colour!

Rose right after laying 28 eggs.

Confirmation of what we know to be best practice but how do we get 12% ca into your gut load if using fresh? I use locust a lot but find they don't tend to go for dry preperations or cooked up bug burger etc., preferring fresh ingredients every time. Over 48 hrs of gut loading and the locust...

The one on his rear looks very much like early papilloma virus but that spine should definitely not be like that. Must see a good reptile vet, the internet can't fix these things. Good luck with him.

Glad she's doing better. You must get a good T5HO UVB tube now. It's not an option.

I get some tiny ones in all my bioactives. Not that many but definitely more in the crestie setup, attracted more no doubt to crestie foods and jelly pots in there.

Sorry to say that what this guy is spouting and what he has sold is wrong. As @Daesie11 suggests, please use the form so people can advise on what needs to be changed. Just from your pics what you posted, there are some major issues. I'm sure you want to do your best for this little guy but...

They are no trouble to look after. Change water, feed bugs and very easy to spot clean the poop. They are nocturnal so most of the time, the cham will be asleep when the gecko comes out anyway.

Was cooking dinner before so a bit rushed. I've taken a closer look at the pictures and it does look like early signs papilloma. Better pics would help but you can see how Bob's started in this thread and compare with what you have...

It looks just like what Bob started with but really need a close up. He's full of scabs these days, even after treatment and daily application of 10% iodine. I hope I'm wrong but if not, it is contageous to other chams so measures need to be taken. Can you give a good close up of the spots?

Here's the problem. You are asking a pet store about care and the things you need. They don't really know or simply don't have the right things but they will sell you some rubbish that is wrong or even harmful. They are just after your money and will not give a stuff as your cham slowly dies...

You should not pull at shed. It should come off on it's own, just don't pull it.

Whatever the colour, its definitely a male. It's like white dress / gold dress but this time with scales.

I wish you both well but the main thing is getting to the vet to give her a chance, so well done for that.

If that was one of mine, we'd already be at the vet.

She needs to be cleared by a VET! Internet x rays are not a thing yet.

I work on the railway. Far more likely to catch something from the great unwashed I'm forced into contact with daily :wideyed: but yes, most reptiles carry some risk but basic hygiene methods usually negates this.

The only insurer I've found in the UK, doesn't cover things like egg binding. For that reason, plus cost of 6 policies a month, I've not gone with it. So far I've spent the equivalent of 2 months insurance payments in the last 12 months. We had our dog covered but as he got older, the cost went...

They would only be fertile if she has been with a male. How long have you had her? Was she housed with other chams when you got her? The best thing is to pop them into the freezer then get rid. No offence but if you intend to breed at any time, you need to A; know a lot more about the subject...

Variety is the key as well as gutloading the feeders long enough for them to absorb it. Take a quick look at this post https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/gordon-ramsey-has-it-easy.169061/ And here are some recommended gutload ingredients.
