I agree.. problem is the only other vet that is knowledgeable about chameleons has a month waiting list for a visit. There are two animal hospitals around that say they “can see” chameleons but they don’t see too many and I won’t be able to go in with the little guy (covid policy), I have to...

Also what are some signs of malnourishment in such a young chameleon?

This is where my mind is at too on this.. thank you for your post. He may be a tad dehydrated but doesn’t seem malnourished, is dehydration reason to boost them with vitamins?

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a chameleon 1.5-2 months old getting a vitamin boost via injection at the vet. The vet has not seen the chameleon yet but said via email that she would give Vitamin A/D/E injection as a boost, just preventative I guess. She is a recommended vet on the list...

Have you seen anything like the spots before?

Not home at the moment so I’m not able to check lights and get enclosure pictures right away

Sorry had to stop for dinner. During the day they range from 45-70%. At night I try to get them higher, around 80%

A couple breeders told me to not dust till he’s a bit older as their systems don’t need as much, it’s easy to oversupplement and become toxic to their system. It’s a combo digital thermometer and hydrometer. I do have a led plant light strip also

The temp is good. I just put him in a brand new screen enclosure after I noticed it today because I was worried something in his glass enclosure could be harboring something that caused the spots. A little bit later after I put him in the screen enclosure he started climbing the ceiling he’s...

I forgot to make it a reply to your message directly but I did fill it out 🙂

They are all booked up today but I can try tomorrow

•Panther ambilobe young chameleon. Unsure of sex. I think he is around 2 months old. •He walks onto my fingers sometimes on his own accord, and then I’ll bring him outside so he can chill on his plant out there •He eats a lot of fruit flies daily, there’s always some in there for him. He also...

I have a young chameleon, probably about 2 months old. I noticed today that there are two small orange-yellow spots on his belly. the spots may be slightly raised? But it’s hard to tell :( Any ideas what it might be?

I absolutely will and am taking your suggestions seriously🙂 I really appreciate you taking the time to go through this with me. It’s good to know there is people that are willing to give valuable advice. Thank you again

He tends to close his eyes around 5 pm. All day until then he is active; hunting, exploring, gazing outside or basking. I wasn’t too concerned about this because I read somewhere that some chameleons go to bed after the prime daylight hours? Do hatchling chameleons sleep more?

I am also curious as to why he shuts his eyes so early though I did read this is kind of common? He’ll be hunting and active all day but once 5 pm rolls around he’s passed out for the night

•Panther ambilobe hatchling chameleon. Unsure of sex. I think he’s super young (I did order a hatchling). Got him July 14th 2021, so last Wednesday. •I’ve handled him 4 times so far, he loves to walk on my fingers and explore •All fruit flies until today when I tried to feed him a small cricket...

Yes definitely, I understand and will only be feeding him fruit flies until I get some pinhead crickets!! When I opened his enclosure he opened his eyes, I got him to walk on my finger so I could feel if there is something stuck in his throat. Glad to say I didn’t physically feel anything...

I have had a hatchling panther chameleon for about a week now, he’s probably a couple weeks old maybe a month. Was feeding a cricket to him that I thought would be an okay size (was just the size of the width of his head). He let it sit in his mouth for a bit and then tried to work it down his...
