they dont know about it and hes due to have a checkup soon anyhow. ill keep an eye on him and get him to the vet soon. he was doing it around the time that i first posted it but he seems to be awake and active everytime i observe him recently.
sorry, no photo. also, its hard to get one because as soon as he senses me he opens them right up. didnt see that this had active comments sorry. i appreciate them. all my husbandry is up to snuff, i obsess over the care for these guys. if i can catch him doing it ill snap a pic. he doesnt do it...
hi everyone! i have a 1+ year old jackson chameleon and when he basks he closes his eyes. i was wondering if this was normal. he goes to a herp vet for checkups and isnt sick, hes perfectly healthy. my other 3 chams dont do this and maybe its his personality. he doesnt sit on the branch funny at...
i think getting from a show you may get mishandled chams or ones with parasites that they dont tell you about. i got the beautiful panther in my avatar but he died a year later because he had the worst parasites a cham can get and he had subcutaneous worms. his poops were always orange and fishy...
if they knew the standard chameleon stuff then she wouldnt be like this, "F" them. i wouldnt even call them anymore, they dont deserve to know how shes doing. what a smug answer for them to give.
my panther is just like yours, he wont eat crickets or dubias. hell only eat super worms, horn worms, silk worms (if i can find them), and phoenix worms. its pretty aggravating, anything i put in there other than what he likes will just end up becoming unnutritious and die. starving them doesnt...
she might have been in plain sight a few times but you never looked for her and didnt even notice, hahaha. its just amazing that she managed to be hidden for so long.
please post a pic of her, i cannot believe shes still alive. thats so crazy!!!! i hope she makes it and she recoups well. does she look lie she has mbd or anything?
my veiled puffs up and leans to the point where he looks like a tilted hammock when he basks sometimes. ill look at him and hell just stare at me while he does it, its funny.
what a good girl, hopefully everything turns out well for her. it really sucks to learn this lesson the hard way. use the care sheets like the bible and your chameleons will always be healthy.
okay, sounds like good advise. i just dont want him to lose weight and look bony, i also dont want him to hate me either. hes the only one who gives me grief. im going to take him to the vet this week to do an exam and have them do a fecal on him just to make sure he doesnt have parasites.
