this is the mail i got from Allen:
Hello Alex.
The expiration date is for an unopened product. Even unopened, it really depends on the conditions it is kept under. The expiration date assumes it is kept at room temperature.
Once opened, the life of the product will vary depending on...
trust me if i had reptile vets this could be a lot easier ....
i tried to find some even before i got him,still no result.
i called every darn vet and they told me that they cant handle chameleons or other lizards....
i try to do my best.
update
ate 2 red runner roach,drank a lot of water- more than often.
so today he only opened his mouth just once for 5 min while he was under the uvb bulb like 3 inch away from it.
this happened at 16:20 .
I guess this is a good sign ? since he did it just once?
This morning he opened his mouth aprox 6 times for about 30sec-1 min.
this happend between 7:00 am and 14:00am.
After 14:00 he stoped doing this and around 15:30 i gave him a shower for 15 minutes.
In the shower he inflated very much his chest/lungs so i guess he was breathing very well...
he breaths normal,acts normal ,colors normal but the only problem is that he openes his mouth.
today when i turned on the lights he went to the basking spot with his mouth open.
he ate 3 roaches and drank water.now he opens his mouth for 5 min or so.
Well he does this everywhere not only basking spot.
I turned of the basking light and he still did this after 1 hour and temps were 80F.
i measure my temps with 2 analogues and 1 digital ,the 3 of the says the same.
here are the pics.
i guess his mouth is ok but i am worried he as a RI.
how can i tell if its URI or lower RI?
the pics are not an agresive stance .he doenst mind the phone.
thats just how he sits with his mouth open.
he did this a lot today,and did this 20 min before sleep and 10 min while...
the 1st thing i did was turning off the light
with light on he has 86F at basking .with lights off he has 80F.
now its time to sleep.lights are off,he has sleeping position,but he still keeps mouth open...
ok after many hand rapes,hisses,tail whips ,scratches i finally managed to get his mouth opened and got some pics, i will post them later .
as much as i could see his mouth is pink,theeth look ok,no brown spots or scratches.
but the corner of the mouth where the jaws articulate is white , on...
