I love keeping everyone updated I have been so busy recently with work but I would love to give everyone an update on Iris and her life and I will always do this for her fans here.
It looks like you’re doing everything right and it seems like a care error is not the reason here after reading all of the information here. I think he needs seen by the vet eye issues can really stress out the Cham and even prevent them from maintaining diet. Make sure exotic reptile vet is...
If fecal test was done and they recommended a deworming medication I would follow what was instructed. If you know your vet is qualified stick to what they have told you it is logical to do that and not to overthink in this time of stress.
I’m sure the professionals prescribed the correct...
You might take him to get a check up with your vet just to be safe since he’s so young to make sure nothing else is wrong that people here can’t see. I hope for the best for you and your Cham.
The urate looks somewhat okay but if your really worried the best option is to get him seen then you...
I agree with @elizaann2 you have been given great information already. Usually a chameleon will hang upside down in the enclosure to let the rain run fall with gravity to the mouth during the misting sessions. Does your Cham react when you mist, some chams you have to mist longer to get them to...
He sure is developing the adult colors 😍. I love the way the colors are with male veiled they are much more colorful than the female. I still love the beauty of my female veiled although I was wanting a male when I got her but the bond we have is set solid and she will be my only chameleon...
my girl sheds once a month she’s still a baby it’s normal in my opinion they like shedding the old skin it’s in their nature their old skin restricts their movement as the body grows so they love once they can get it off and rub on all their branches.
Here are some photos of my chams last shed...
I took my Cham to an actual animal hospital in Bloomington Indiana it’s one of the “best” local animal hospitals we have it’s been in business for 10+ years. I would name the company but I’m sure they would get some unhappy calls from the internet if I did. I’m sure they are “qualified” and our...
I don’t have any photos of my chams original set up but I bought the infamous death kit and my Cham impulsively at petsmart she was maybe 2 months old. I was given the chameleon petsmart classic, I realized everything was junk that they told me to buy two weeks later after watching Neptune The...
I don’t have any relevant experience to chime in on this one at all.
Maybe @Beman and/or @MissSkittles can possibly point you in the right direction.
I doubt this is causing the issue but the only recommendation I can give is for you to use spring water or RHO water for your systems. My local...
The chameleon kit daytime bulb is blue colored I bought the same kit, it needs to be a 60w incandescent bulb. Also will you please go more into depth about him only closing one eye at night he should have both closed for sleeping purposes. Your lights should be on 12 hours and 12 hours off. The...
I’m very sorry your cham is experiencing this. I don’t have the experience to chime in on this one but you can answer these questions which will help the experienced members give you some advice when they enter this thread.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your...
We truly need some more information. And better photos. Their are some questions I’d like to ask in the meantime since we are getting nowhere on this topic. As said before by @Beman we really can’t give any advice without the clear photos of the chameleon and full enclosure/set up. Regardless...
I really like the improvements you made I'm sure she loves the new light. It is completely normal for your Cham to climb along the UVB especially as a baby, a couple months ago my Cham used to do that every day but has since stopped as she grew. I am wondering what your thermometer probe says...
Possibly, watch very closely for some time to see if she will react and try to eat if she shows no interest from the vision loss and the crickets begin biting this can’t be the option. Their aren’t many options for her size so attempting to let her eat in the feeder run is worth the try if it...
Going more in to depth for @Beman. They really shouldn’t be able to see each other at all. Are you planning on mating your chameleons, I advise you don’t do this, even if you are if the female isn’t showing interest it’s time to block off the view of each other completely.
Have you told your parents what is going on with your chameleons tail. It’s concerning and needs attention from a responsibly adult, tell them your chameleon is hurt and ask if them if you can get him seen by a vet and tell them it’s inhumane to leave your chameleon this way. You need to say...
Short and simply what I can see is, you’re going to need to get rid of that compact uvb bulb that comes with the death kit it burns and blinds chameleons theirs plenty of info you can read and photos you can look at online of what those compact uvb bulbs can do to your Cham that close. You need...
