    2 year old Female Jackson's Chameleon suddenly sick

    I thought I got her in October 2015 but it looks like going back it was May 2015 so she may be have been closer to the 3 year old range. She didn't like being handled much but she would hand feed more decoration but I really liked her. I think you are right about it being a Female reproductive...

    Stressed all the time

    My female Jackson started to do this shortly after I got her. Turned out to be a stuffed animal across the room was stressing her out. Moved it and she was fine. So take a look around and see if there is something around the room that might be stressing her out.

    Zoomed Daylight Blue UVA bulbs

    I use the 40 and 60 watt Daylight Blue bulbs. I had an issue with the bulbs purchased last year they did not last very long. But the ones I have purchased in 2016 have lasted a good long time.

    Kind of a bit confused here?! :/

    I just had a shop owner tell me that the 2 Carpets where different than other chameleons and were able to be housed together. He was wrong and I had to hurry up and get them separated. They are just trying to sell the pair to you.

    Jacksons Chameleon Serious Skin Issues.

    I am sad to report Carmine did pass away last night shortly after my last post. Before burying him I did do a necropsy with my limited skills and some direction from the vet.

    Jacksons Chameleon Serious Skin Issues.

    I don't think Carmine has much longer if he makes it through tonight I will be surprised. He has only been on the meds 3 days The vet said that his skin may just be a symptom of something bigger internally. He lost the ability to hold on to a branch a few hours ago and is now at the bottom of...

    Jacksons Chameleon Serious Skin Issues.

    I took Carmine to the new vet today over the weekend he went more down hill as far as being week and listless. He has not eaten since Friday when I got him to eat a roach. I was pretty convinced he was going to have to be put down. But the vet said he didn't think it was time to give up. He...

    Successfully hiding a chameleon in my dorm

    If your RA is cool that usually not a problem. Where they end up catching you is during unscheduled maintenance calls when you are at class.

    Jacksons Chameleon Serious Skin Issues.

    Thanks for reminding me about quarantine procedures everyone. I am an avid hand washer anyway. :D But take extra care to wash in-between each animal and feeders I deal with anyway.

    Jacksons Chameleon Serious Skin Issues.

    Thanks @MissLissa agreed I don't think I have much choice at this point the next step is crucial because I don't think he is going to make it much longer if I don't get him the right meds. I am not opposed to scraping or biopsy I just don't think vets I have been too have helped that much. First...
