BUMP
Alright so i just got a good look in his mouth and everything honestly looks normal to me... u can see that white, thin part of the tongue just like in my other chameleons mouths. no abnormalities, besides some of the mouth being light pink colored (usualy the mouth is yellow and white...
he is acting normal though, extremely active and drinking well. urates look good, especially today with a big white urate and turd. im just getting so worried about the tongue... it doesn't look swollen so thats good and its pink so no discoloration or anything
alright so what should i be looking for? whenever i open his mouth, he just sticks his tongue out kinda and i cant really see inside of it. but i don't see blood or anything.. ugh. for some reason the crickets don't stick well to his tongue either.. i think if this doesnt go away or get better...
well she offered to look at him but she said that if I saw nothing in his mouth while he opened it, then she wouldn't either because hes so young and she cant do anything inside his mouth. I took him out one day and its not possible to open his mouth unless its forcefully opened.. sometimes...
basically, I am just really worried and don't know what to do. I don't want him to loose his tongue. I will update but does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas? thanks so much.
thats good:). i have one that has a lazy tongue too, but this guy in particular that i am posting about, definitely has a problem. he tries to shoot far when he sees crickets but he cant. he can only do it up close and sometimes it can't even stick onto the cricket because their weak shots. I'm...

you really should switch the 10.0 uvb to a 5.0 and get a linear (tube) light instead... these can cause blindness.. 10.0 is for desert animals 5.0 is tropical
Im getting really frustrated with this guy. the tongue issue is not getting any better. He is hungry but his tongue is not long enough or sticky enough to get the crickets... this happened suddenly like 4 days ago. he had a 10 inch tongue but now it barely extends so i think he over extended it...
I'm doing that this week AGAIN . lol. His reptisun is actually getting old now that I think of it! about 8 months. i bought 4 reptisuns online for 14 bucks a piece and they will be here tommorow. maybe that will change something
Im thinking the same thing unfortunately:/ the only thing is I thought gout was something with their feet/joints being swollen... his feet look completely normal and so do his legs. the only thing that is weird is the fat. theres been more of it the past few days so i really don't think its...
Im going to get some better pics of his bumps on his head once hes out of the shower... my camara gets lenses gets covered in steam if I try to take a pic inside the bathroom. I try to get it like a steam room basically so 100 percent humidity
Well, after 9 days, the red guy took a MASSIVE and discusting dump whille giving him a nice steamy shower. It looks BAD. pics attached. the thing is, I got a fecal done before and nothing came up for parasites or anything. And his fat bumps are getting some what fatter. They are right behind his...
ridgebax1 I apologize. I didn't know what you meant. At first, i didn't even know I made that kind of typeO ... but i can assure you I don't dust my chameleon haha. I thought you where reffering to something else. My mistake, sorry.
But lets forget about that. I am going to post a new thread with updated pics of my red boy later today. its starting to look some what bigger and I want to see if maybe it looks like edema. I took him to the vet but they she saw nothing wrong and didnt prescribe with anything.. so i gues time...
i don't see whats wrong with asking members the easiest way to gutload and that works best for them... I wanted opinions. if everyone on here says gutloading is easy.. then what are you trying to say? .. are you saying i should of asked whats the hardest way to gutload? your confusing me man...
