My feedback. Thanks for all your input!! Hi everybody! The reason that I started this experiment on grated carrots vs mulberry mash was not for someone to think that I would endorse a carrot gut-load over the real thing! My Chameleon started getting sick again 3 weeks ago on the...

Where did you get your Panther from? Out of curiosity, did you purchase from a pet store or breeder? How did his previous environment look like? Was he housed correctly? Did he look alert and healthy when you purchased him? Christine

Hi! I wanted to report hat putting my tiny 1/4 inch silkworms on grated carrots was a success!! They are healthy and doing well munching on the grated carrots instead of the mulberry mash. They are growing slowly(Now, 1 inch in length now since starting them on grated carrots 2 weeks...

Is your Chameleon able to get any natural sunlight? Hi! Thanks for your honesty regarding that it is not feasible at the moment to bring her to the Vet right away but you will once you have the money available. Does your Chameleon get any natural sun at all?. I know that in most...

Hi! Where did you purchase her from? Pet store or directly from a breeder? Unfortunately, if it came from a pet store, it could have easily developed the MBD in that type of enviroment.(if that is the correct diagnosis) because stores are so ill-equiped to the correct housing...

Silkworm source Hi! I use MulberryFarms.com for my mail-order silkworm source. Easy to keep! There are other Internet sources,too and they all sound reliable. I use that company because it's also in CA. I noticed in your last post that you are a late-raiser so you don't know when...

How about Silkworms?? Hi! Would you be opposed to testing him out on Silkworms(due to their high nutritional value) and see how that works out for him. If vitamin deficiency is the culprit, adding silkworms in his diet could perhaps reverse that deficiency. Christine

Possibly a Vitamin A deficiency?? Check his diet My past Panther died of a Vitamin A deficiency because he was on a bland diet of giant mealworms and crickets(that were probably not gutloaded enough). Same symptoms....His one eye stayed shut but everything else seemed O.K for awhile. I did...

I'll do a test on shredded carrots with small size Silks! Ji! I haven't myself tried the shredded carrots on my silkworms yet only because I still have a lot of Mulberrry mash but remember, per my converstion with Brian(from Mulberry Farms), the silkworms but be at least 1 inch or longer for...

Question: How do you keep your cricket bin sanitary? Hi! I only have one Chameleon so I may get at the most, 25 crickets at a time. Even with so few crickets, I find that I have to completely clean out their their plastic container bin, replace with new egg crates for their shelter and take...

your Veil also needs vegetation to munch on! I noticed on your post regarding your housing that you don't provide live plants for your Chameleon. In my cage set-up, I don't have any live plants for my Male Veil but I provide him on a daily basis, a large washed Collard Green leaf that I...

Replacing shredded carrots for Mulberry food. Hi! I did talk to Brian(I think the owner of Mulberry Farms) and he told me that when Silkworms reach over 1 inch in length, you can subsitute shredded carrots for the Mulberry mash/or leaves and they will survive on that diet. It's good to...

Worth submitting to photo contest!! You will definitely win my vote on the first pic showing a frontal side view showing his tail fully curled! You captured his total Chameleon personality! Christine

Suggest an Emergency Aid fluid! Hi! This happened to my 7 month old Male Chameleon one month ago where he just ceased eating but still drank water. Long story short, Heika on this forum suggested a Reptile Emergency fluid supplement called Repta-Aid Insect/Carnivore Emergency Aid that...

Recommendions in handling them from cage. Hi! My suggestion is using a small kitchen hand towel and place it over your hand as a protective sheild to get your Veil out of his cage. I did that when my Veil was younger and then I graduated to just using a portion of the towel to finally using...

Try the East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley! Hi! I highly recommend that you go to the above Reptile Store located in the Bay Area if you are familar with Berkeley! Huge assortment of very healthy Reptiles housed in appropriate type and size cages(Check out their Panthers!!) and they offer a wide...

Hi! To all Viewers who currently have senior Chameleons, please post their age and species! Would be interesting to see who wins and currently owns the oldest Chameleon on this forum! Christine

Thanks, Heika for the advice!! Hi! I ordered the Flucker's Repta-aid from the Internet(via overnight delivery) o from Heika's recommendation and the stuff was delivered to me yesterday. I used a very small dosage amt.(less than company recommended) to hopefully re-hydrate my 7 month old...

To response back to your questions: 1. The Vet used Panacur(Febendazole) as the de-wormer since I couldn't give her a fecal sample since my Chameleon hadn't produced a recent stool. 2. What appeared to be a vomiting response, his head was horizontal. 3. He looks more...

Added post to my above original post: Yes, my C. has still been drinking fluids on a regular basis and he does get a lot of natural exposure to sunlight since we live in CA. I still have a basking light set-up that I use when the window next to the window is closed or if it's a cool day...
