Do you have any idea how old he was? Live expectancy is about 10 years in captivity, those from the wild less. And they have all kinds of parasites. Maybe he never got used to captivity. You sound like a responsible person, most likely you didn t do anything wrong. In my country you cannot get...

Does it move? Could be an acarian, a mite. Does she try to clean or rub it away?

yes but they see insects you won´t notice. Mine are always chewing on something. They are kept outside, I completely lost control about their diet. They get their calcium-crickets and - whatever fits in their mouth. One has a bump on his cheek and the vet istn´t sure about it, maybe was stung...

Mine had the same problem! I have recently bought a Trioceros Ellioti and the male arrived with a spot like that. Another member here posted fotos showing also this very same spot. We think he had a bumpy ride and hit his nose. Observe the spot. If it doesn´t grow, just leave it. It´ll get...

Germs, sorry for my spelling, my mothertongue is german. No, you cannot keep the germs away, no sense trying it, try to strengthen your pets immune system is what I wanted to say. Maybe some people can help you improving your husbandry when you tell them more. Wish you all the best for your Puffy.

Hello, first of all, sorry four your loss. Both pseudomonas and enterococcus are everywhere, there is hardly a way to avoid contact. Normally we live in harmony with them, so do our chams. But when the immunesystem is stressed for some reason it sometimes cannot cope with those yerms any more...

That looks great. Can you tell me, has ever a bee or wasp slipped through the screen? What happens? Can it hurt your Cham? It looks so healthy and happy.

Hi, this could be an abscess, and if so, you need to see a vet. Reptile pus doesn't get liquid because they lack an encyme, their pus is firm. It can become dangerous.

Our laws are very strict in Austria, Europe. You have to register each exotic animal and there are strict rules concerning enclosures. Veterinary office can show up any time to control, well, in Vienna they usually don't. Even for dwarf chameleons like my elliotis I need 40 x 20 x 30 inches. And...

Hi, when I started to decide about what type of chameleon I wanted a jackson was on top of my list. I didn't buy one because the temperature in my apartment under the roof gets too high. They recommend 80 degrees during day, 60 at night. Only then the animal can get a good and deep sleep. A...

Thank you so much. I have exactly the same problem, the vet didnt want to see the animal because it would be overacting she said and too much stress, I treat the spot with local desinfectants but you helped me a lot, thanks!

For me this bare bottom is very unusual since we are legally not allowed to keep chameleons without propper soil. Only when under quarantine we use bare bottoms and plastic plants because of hygenic reasons. I have a big enclosure for my crested geckos with all kind of tropical plants, I think...

Well, I'm from Austria, Europe, and we have very strict regulations according the size of an enclosure, and it has to be big, really big. Sorry I cannot be of any help, but sometimes if the females have to lay eggs and cannot, they hold it back untill they die. But I really hope you can help her...

use a pipette or a single-use-injection. In Europe we get it in any pharmacy. Or a straw. And please give her some soil, maybe she needs to lay eggs and wants to dig.

Hi, I´m dealing also with a skin problem of one of my trioceros ellioti. The vet didn´t want to stress the animal and recommended to clean the spot with "Betaisodona", a desinfection liquid for the human mouth, covers bacteria, virus, fungus etc. Sometimes these water misters create fungus...

Hi, When I see a plant I like I ask the owner if I can have a part of it. Many plants get roots when you put them in water. It takes a while but especially tropical plants grow quickly. Then you can be sure its safe. Although in my terrarium I have cocoa, vanilla and coffee plants I bought at a...

Hello from Vienna, Austria. Could anyone be so kind as to help me with sexing my 4 months old trioceros ellioti? Especially animal number 2, the green one ist the one I have doubts. I thought it would be female, but -? Thank you so much, Bettina

Thank you for sharing these photos. We all can learn from them. I have no idea what might have caused this problem, I once had 2 Crested Geckos babies, one hatched far too early and died, the other egg became huge, I mean really huge, and then exploded, the animal inside was intact but too small...
