The ones that see reptiles around here said they didn't know much about chams. My regular vet sees reptiles. They're the ones that told me she has to do liquid calcium every day for the rest of her life. But idk if that seems right.
I should of took a pic of the larvae. But I freaked and threw the bin and all in the trash. If I see the larvae again, I will take a pic. I'm not real sure what they are. From what I've googled I guess they're phorid flies.
I just called my vet out of curiosity. They told me she would need the liquid calcium every day for the rest of her life. Idk if this is right or not. But I guess we will do that.
I'm pretty sure I have a phorid fly problem with my crickets. I've been reading like crazy trying to figure out how to get rid of these creepy crawleys! I clean out all the dead crickets. They still keep getting in there! Last time I cleaned the whole container out and there was larvae in there...
So I've been wondering when we should stop giving it to her. She just about climbs like a pro. I watched her completely turn around on a skinny branch and she didn't slip at all. I was so proud!
So my question now is, how do I know when it's time to stop giving her the liquid calcium every night?
I love that she's climbing so much and all over the place. She's started climbing down and sleeping in the umbrella plant. It's so cute. I had to search for her this morning, she blended in...
September 1. Her symptoms when I first started this post were very grim. She would not climb. She stayed on the ground. She had spread eagle legs. Her grip was very weak. It was very easy to start giving her liquid calcium by syringe. She would just let you open her mouth with no fight what so...
Thank you! She has a super hard grip with all her feet now. She digs those little claws in my hands when we give her liquid calcium every night. She still kinda "pinwheels" her legs sometimes. But she climbs so much better now.
