You should NOT have a light within the enclosure itself. They should always be raised off the top to prevent burns. What type of UVB bulb is that? There are reports of UVB bulbs causing swollen eyes within reptiles, this is why I ask.

Looks like a wild Sunburst :D And a beautiful one at that.

He looks dehydrated. How often do you mist and for how long? Do you use a dripper? How often do you see him drinking? Mealworms are not a good feeder at all due to their high fat content. You should try using gutloaded crickets or dubia cockroaches if possible. I would also try and get some...

I am very sorry for what happened to Dusty and wish her a speedy road to recovery. Even the best of owners over look things from time to time. Now, something you could try but I am not sure how well it would work is to do the shots with maybe some kind of Halloween mask on and maybe a long...

Could you please give us some pictures of your Cham and his enclosure? Eye problems can be related to his lighting, but unless you have recently changed something I doubt this is the cause. For a more experienced member to answer: Could lowering the hours that their UVB light is on help...

First and for most you should get him to a vet ASAP. This should be your main priority, especially since it has already appeared to have spread. Pictures. The more pictures you can provide us of him, preferably before and afters (before he got sick and now that he is) for comparison. What is...

Do you think you could find anything that flies? Maybe some blue bottle flies or butterflies? Moths? Locust? etc and so forth. My guys/gals love anything with wings as it gives them some extra challenge when hunting.

You can try a shower/heavy misting but if it has been there that long then I don't see it coming off from some extra water. Best bet would be wait for another shed and hope it comes off then but this might not be the case depending on your Chams age. Does he have enough abrasive surfaces within...

I was about to post the opposite. I remember reading somewhere that Jax DO store sperm and thus can produce more clutches even months after the original instance of matting has occurred. That is the only thing that I can think of, but with the highest count of slugs being around 40+, we also...

Sorry to hear about your loss, but in all fairness, this is pretty much the perfect outcome for any captive Chameleon in my opinion. I would love to see my boy and girl live to the ripe old age of 8! Heck, even having them get to 4-5 years old would make me proud.

That is what I have been thinking...I am just using a normal 60W house light bulb for heat as it provides the ranges I need. I am using an electronic thermometer with an attached probe via wire. I just took a new reading of his basking spot currently with the lights raised and it is 77F...

Can slugs only develop when you try and mate a Jackson's? I ask because I too have a female Jackson's and I am only okay with having her as a female because I know Jackson's give live birth instead of laying eggs, but I have been following little Olive's whole ordeal with hopes that I never have...

I bought a 4 month old "Sunburst" Veiled at Repticon last Saturday. I wasn't really planning to buy a new Cham while I was here or I would have set up the tank and everything prior, but I had a feeling it would happen anyways....So, I got a new little guy and named him Kuzco, but I've noticed...

You might take her outside to get some sunlight in what could be her last hours, if it is warm enough at least. I personally just think this would be nice for any Cham

Assuming he is eating between 2-3 times a day usually, I would say no. Of course, with only 1 days time we can't really be sure anything is truly wrong. Maybe he is just not feeling well today and is letting his digestion catch up. Without more info and time it would be pretty hard to say...

Even my 1 year old Jackson female is in an 18x18x36 and she is probably 5x smaller then your Oustalet's. I would highly recommend something between 4-6 feet with plenty of vertical climbs as these are big boys (and girls) that we are talking about here. They rival even a Parson's for largest...

Consider yourself lucky as of now...My Jackson's just bolts or puffs up (at least to some degree) when I even move my hand close to her cage. Even if I have food, she still is hesitant.

I will increase her citrus intake as much as possible and I haven't seen any reddening or swelling at all. She eats fine and doesn't seemed bothered or anything. Also, could my Chameleon's nature just be mild and lazy? She doesn't move a lot but I know she can when she wants to like for...

My 1 year old jackson's has a black spot or two on the under side of her mouth along with some orange crustie like stuff in the corners of her mouth. I read the orange stuff could be from to large of feeders, but I am worries about the black spots.

She has had two BM's since moving her into the larger cage (moved her in on sunday, she went the bathroom that same day and it was a similar color/state) so, she has gone twice in the last 3~ days and both were orange. There was also a orange urate last week (unsure of when exactly, maybe...
