By appearing and disappearing I mean it'll appear one day and the next day it'll be gone. I tried feeding her the first time the neck fat appeared and it never went away while she ate or drank. Weather she was on my hand or on her plant her neck stayed big. I can still see an area in between her...

I only have 24 crickets at a time. How quickly do the crickets go through the produce? Or how long should I leave it in there? Does the baby food go bad after a while? And is it not right to just use water as a moisture source? Thank you for all the great ideas will this help her neck get better...

Well like I said, it shows up out of nowhere then disappears just as quickly. The "neck fat" is now gone again. Could that be a case of organ failure?? Her colors just fine and she moves around just fine, other than occasionally getting her foot stuck on her scar when she walks.

So then it's for sure gout? It's not deathly is it?? It's in her neck so I'm scared she'll sufacate. I'll definetly change the crickets' diet. Should I also change the crickets' water source; Flukers cricket quencher?

She drinks plenty of water everyday. I have to still force water her from time to time but she's getting better(she stopped drinking fully when she became egg bound and still didn't drink after surgery) Before her surgery she would only eat about 4 or 6 large crickets a day, now she eats as...

So my female veiled chameleon has reoccurring neck fat and I'm really confused on what's going on! I've read multiple other threads about the chameleons with neck fat and they say it could be gular edema or the female chameleon is gravid. I'm guessing gravid means she needs to lay eggs but my...

All the hornworms a petsmart are quite big, sadly. But my chameleon has been eating more than she ever has before the surgery :) although she still isn't drinking but I've been forcewatering her and her urate is all white! She looks great and is moving around a lot more too. Thank you for all...

We have hornworms at a petsmart close by. I live pretty far from San Antonio. I never tried feeding her hornworms though because she's very tiny and I don't really like cutting up bugs in half... the horn also worries me. Are they a pretty good source of moisture? Although she's been eating in...

I just got her back from the vet, she spent the night. The vet said she is making an "unbelievably quick recover" she is thankfully already wanting to eat and still doesn't mind being hand fed. I'm thinking about feed her some cucumber. Just for the moisture since she is still dehydrated. As...

I live in Texas

I'm sorry I don't feel comfortable giving away that information. (Yes I know you don't mean my address) I'm sorry. As for the abscess, the vet said it could've been a hernia since she was in so much pain from the pile up of eggs. But there was no way to know for sure since he did not see the...

It's a ovariumhistorectomy or something like that. The surgery is done and she's just fine! I'm happy she's okay and I'm so glad my mistake did not cost her life. She's a very tough girl! :) Do any you have any tips on what to do for her after a big surgery like this. I'll be putting her...

Alright... been back from the vet for a little bit and have calmed down... My baby is indeed egg bound, and it seems it's a really bad case of it from the x-rays. The eggs are so piled up inside her they are pressing on her lungs; which probably explains the huffing and sighing. She is going to...

Update: getting her ex-ray now. This vet seems to know a lot more. Wishing I had gone to him first.

Okay I was able to get her to the emergency vet, they say they can take care of exotics but just don't list that they do anywhere. We are waiting right now and she is a dark color which saddens me. She might be handled badly again by the vet like the last one. But like you said if she is egg...

Is there any way of telling if she is? So that bump had something to do with the eggs? She doesn't look too fat. I'm asking because the vet that sees exotics are closed today and tomorrow... and Monday too i guess....

Okay I have gotten a 9.5 inch pot and filled it with organic gardening soil. I've moistened it with filtered water and I've removed her regular plant (it's pretty big) and have put the pot of dirt with branches sticking out of it in her cage. I have covered all sides of her cage with a blanket...

Oh that's really good to hear! I hope she can survive whatever this is!!! Do you know how I could reduce her stress? I've just been leaving her alone and letting her look out her window on her plant and letting her eat her favorite foods. (Apples) Any other ideas would be wonderful!

I don't think I have a place for her to lay eggs? Are they like chickens or something? I remember researching this a while back. I came to a conclusion that y'all were talking about fertilized egg laying whenever it was brought up on the forum. No pus came out because he said he couldn't. And...

Oh and I posted pictures of her tail as it looks very strange to me. Is this because she is dehydrated? It doesn't look normal at all.
