there are no herp vets worth trusting in my area. I am in tampa bay. i called about 4 people that have worked with exotic animals and they dont know anything about chameleons, and id rather cure it differently then prescribing him with BAYTRIL, which is a drug that screws up a chameleons...
no, nobody smokes ciggarettes around him, its my room. i dont smoke ciggs period. but i did burn a candle about a week ago... didnt think it would be bad though? and i take him outside sometimes but we really dont have any bugs that he would eat outside... he could of possibly ate a contaminated...
hey everyone!
its been a while since i posted a thread because all has been well with my panther chameleon until earlier this week. about 5 days ago, i noticed some mucus on his lips, and then i saw him coughing!! literally it looked like he was having a stroke, but it was just like 5 big puffs...

i stilll need to get the gel capsules. but he is deffinetly a good eater. havent fed him superworms for a full 3 days, only crickets. he is eating them fine so i guess he never really got addicted to the superworms. i dont think he has parasites, but i will get a fecal done when he poops. he...

sandrachameleon: the calcium with d3 is the same brand as the herptivite, which i believe is Rep-cal or some thing. it is a good brand, and i dont think hes getting too much. i try to limit it to once to twice a month, because i take him outside sometimes and he gets enough vitamin d3 from the...
UPDATE: both eyes have now been oppen after a long, hot shower.
ataraxia: i dont use ANY fake plants in my enclousure. Only vines and one huge umbrella plant.. they stay moist for a while. but i seriously drip water over his nose daily and he drinks it... so to me it seems like hes...
ataraxia: wait, so your saying by his poop (pics), that he is dehydrated? how can you telll? because people are telling me that the orange in his poop is from superworms. he seems to be addicted to them. no more for him, i probably wont feed superworms for a few days or longer. even if i have to...
