Thank you so much for your condolences, and your advice. If I do decide to get another cham in the future I’ll definitely not be getting one younger than 4 months old, but that knowledge is very good to know. I actually made my own feeder run cup and it did help make feedings easier and make it...
Thank you so so so much for your kindness, and all your helpful advice. At least now my little guy isn't in pain anymore. Yes, their chams are absolutely stunning, maybe in a few months from now I'll be ready to consider the possibility of trying again. Thank you again ❤️
Hi everyone. I'm devasted and heartbroken to share that my little jupiter passed away tonight ))): For a few hours after i shut his lights off he was sleeping in his little "chameleon pjs" with his light tan/pinky color. Every hour or so I was going back and misting his enclosure, trying to keep...
Thank you soooo much! ((: I will for sure update this thread as soon as I learn anything more or if any new developments occur. I am so immensely grateful for all your help. <3
Yes, I hand mist with a pumper one from home depot. No he doesn't thankfully, but I always make sure to keep an eye put for that because I know chams have sensitive little lungs.
This is the exact box. Is it the tiny "uses only 53W" underneath the 75W? I've never noticed that before /: but I...
Yes, I meant that he eats so little that the 3 bugs he ate yesterday is considered a lot for him. I'm aware he's supposed to be eating closer to double or triple that ):
Okay I will move his basking branch down further. I will definitely make a trip to home depot asap and get one of those. I have a thermometer/hygrometer combo currently, I'm not sure if you can see it in the pictures but it's just from petsmart so I'll look at home depot. Okay, I'll research how...
I'm pretty sure they're loose, but I've been keeping an eye on them bc I know that chams have lost fingers and toes due to lack of blood flow bc of stuck shed. I've tried lightly pulling on it once but he got mad at me so I left it alone. Omg really? What makes you say that? The guy at the...
Yes vet is definitely my top priority. I'm hesitant to feed him/give him water through a syringe unless absolutely necessary in case that cases extra stress on him and his little body. Okay I will definitely try the wet lips technique. I don't think MBD is the issue, it may just be he has his...
Okay I will mist during the night. Yes, I have taped clear shower curtain lining to 3 sides of his enclosure, although I need to invest in some waterproof tape bc I think it's starting to leak through since I used just regular clear packing tape. Really I didn't know that about the dehydration...
Okay I will definitely visit the grocery store asap, those were just some fruits and veggies that were already in the house. How much lower basking temps? Should I just take away the basking bulb entirely? It's a pretty low wattage and I have his basking branch quite a few inches down from the...
Thank you, that makes me feel a tiny better, especially since I see you all over this forum with wonderful advice. Thank you so much for your reply, I will call a vet first thing tomorrow morning.
Okay, I think I found a vet that takes chams and I'm gonna call first thing tomorrow morning asking if they have experience dealing with hatchlings. I now know this, I'm so disappointed in myself that I didn't realize he was so itty bitty ): I really trusted that reptarium, have been going to...
Update I just got up and looked at him closer and he fell off a vine ): Im so heartbroken my poor little guy. He has never fallen before, only wobbled or missed a step.
Okay everyone here are some pictures:
This is his full enclosure the night before I took him home, there has been no changes made to it.
This is him right now, I just took this picture less than 10 minutes ago (he has little bits of stuck shed on him because he just had his first shed this...
Thank you so much. I will work on getting real plants asap. As for the dehydration, what more can I do to help him drink? I make sure to spray long enough that he knows whats going on and takes notice of the moving water, and I fill his dripper right on top of a large section of plants so it...
