Hello and welcome to the amazing world of chameleons. I have a male veiled about the same age. Just want to say that my vet corrected me on my basking temp which I kept at 80-85. He said males like 90-95. The also warned me about super worms which I had never heard before which is if they are...
Oh btw antiinflamatories don’t work for synovial fluid. So sorry your poor baby is going through this. I have used lidocaine patches cut to the size of the area and it does help some. Not sure what it would do to a chams skin though. Vet is definitely needed. Also hospital cage needed as a fall...
Well I don’t know about chameleons, but I sure know about gout in humans. Gout from crystallized uric acid and pseudo gout caused by crystallized calcium are treated by the same medication for three days and takes down the swelling like a miracle. The crystallized particles act like tiny pieces...
I personally like dead rubber tree branches. They are curved in a variety of thicknesses. After cleaning I put wood putty in each end to close up the holes as I had feeders hide there before.
Wow! What a family you have there! They are all so fit and healthy looking. You are an exceptional mom. Wonderful photos to. You even captured their personalities in some. Just beautiful🌞
So sorry this accident happened and you are not a terrible owner. We are so hard on ourselves when we hurt a loved one by accident. You took him to the vet right away which I doubt he appreciated but tells me you are a great parent/friend. The advice you have been given is great and btw love the...
My male veiled would get site of my female panther cage and do the same thing. He once jumped off of me trying to get to her cage and she wasn’t even in it. lol. Horny little dude thought he could fly there! Scared me to death lol
Oh I forgot to mention you said you are hand misting. It is a possibility that there may be some bacteria buildup in your mister. That could cause her eyes to become irritated. Make sure it’s clean out really good. Put a cap full of bleach in then fill it with water and let it sit for at least...
Hello. I think the one stick that you put in the Lay bin maybe too steep for her she needs several safe routes to get to the bottom of her cage and into and out of the laybin. Also you may want to add some more sand soil so she can really dig. Make sure it’s moist enough and packed enough so you...
I personally like the monstera Swiss cheese plant. It has long heavy stalks that won’t break when climbed on and large leaves to hide under and drink on top of. They are very hardy too. Make sure your top soil does not have any perlite in it as it can cause digestive issues when swallowed. Also...
I think Beman is onto your issue. Bringing a male Cham into the home will surely change her egg laying schedule too. It may be causing her stress too. When my panther gets ready to lay she stops eating and drinking completely for two to three days prior to laying. So if she is going to the...
Oh sorry I thought I read humidity too low but it’s too high. Actually I have heard of people putting fans at the bottom on the outside to get a chimney effect going. You might need to adjust the misting schedule too. This is a common adjustment thing in the beginning.
The way I feel is the universe sends us what we end up needing in life. So don’t be so quick cause she may end up being the best pet you have ever had. Best of luck to you both
Hello all
I was going over my chams eating regime with my new vet whom I just adore, Dr Stein and he warned me about super worms something that I have never heard before. He said that he has treated many chameleons for digestive issues caused by eating super worms. Apparently they can be...
