80 basking spot and mid 70s towards the bottom I called her to ask her about an alternative to the injection and told her it was getting worse. She said that we can try a different antibiotic but she said that all the chams brought in from this clutch -or at least all the babies from LllReptile...

She’s actually getting worse, she’s now keeping her nose up and eyes closed most of the day.. she wasnt at this stage when I went to the vet. Her humidity is 30-40% during the day and 80-90% at night

I softened the edges of mine with a lighter, worked great!

It's basically a food container with a window for the chameleon to peak into. It's important that it's not a clear one, because they will try to shoot their tongue on the outside and might cause injuries.

I'm not sure if she's too tiny to inject on her arm or if it's the antibiotic that has to be subcutaneous, anyway I called the vet and she told me that nebulizing antibiotics doesn't work with reptiles because they can hold their breath for long periods of time and there's no way to know how...

Keep it 12 inches away from the highest spot that your chameleon reaches and it'll be fine

I use a DIY shooting gallery for my adults and free range for the babies. The shooting gallery works great but takes too much space for a baby's cage. Free range makes them hunt (which is good) but sometimes you'll have crickets escaping and if you don't clean the cage often they might eat your...

I'm injecting under the skin right above the arm, not sure it's 3ml, I'll post pictures of the syringe and the injection spot (you will see the mark that the liquid sack left)

Hey everyone, I purchased a female veiled chameleon a couple months ago from LLLReptile and turned out having a respiratory infection. The vet gave me a very diluted antibiotic called Fortaz and told me to inject 3ml every 3 days over her shoulder. The chameleon is very young (I guess around 3...

Thank you!

I got a high piebald from them a month ago, turned out having a Respiratory Infection. My vet told me that she gets a lot of chams that just came out from lllreptile with all kinds of disease and the breeder who sells to them also sells to Petco.. please go see a vet before it gets worse!

I've never seen it on a safe plant list, has anyone tried it?

I'm guessing she's very stressed for not having hiding spots at all. Do you watch her often? I'd put a big plant in the middle of the cage. The Schefflera works amazing for me and many others, maybe a pothos on the side too!

It's turning this bright because it's out in the sun and might be trying to cool off instead. It is not a good coloration though, it looks pretty pale to me. Also looks dehydrated and the nose up like that means that it can't breathe.. maybe for a respiratory infection. Can you fill up the...

These are dermestid's larvae, they're very common as clean up crew in feeder colonies as they feed on flesh and dead corps. They are not dangerous to your chameleon, but very low in nutrients. They will soon become beetles and can fly out (not very well) of your cricket container. I just had an...

It looks obese to me and I see MBD on his front legs, can you fill up the Husbandry form and post better pictures of him and the cage? (Lights included please)

Could you post better pictures of the tail? Males have a slight bulge where the tail meets the cloaca.

Totally agree! I suggested all of these things, but when it comes to the vet there's not much to do, chameleons are very rare pets in Italy, I don't know how much experience a vet could have.. I'll go over his husbandry with him and see if he's doing everything by the book.

Females display receptive colors with or without a male around, it means that they are ready to mate. She will develop eggs in around 30-40 days, then she will lay.
