It’s exactly like my Eddie. When I got him his burns were healed, but I think it did look exactly like this before. Eventually the burned tissue falls off... but he will heal if you are cautious about bacteria. Here are some photos of Eddie. He is a sweetheart. Good luck with your guy :)

He does look dehydrated a bit. And as I thought, the sun is directly on him. It’s not bad to do that, my chams bask in the natural afternoon sun by the window but it’s not the mid day sun. So yeah just position the cage so the sun is there only in morning or afternoon:)

I hope he feels better. Glad to help :) I want to add, also, that it could be that the window is facing south. That would mean that at one moment of the day, it becomes really hot. The sun through the window creates a lot of heat in the room, combine that with the basking light... you may want...

I had a Reptisun mini compact fruorescent and my cham was closing his eyes in middle of the day. I removed the reptisun, he never closed his eyes again for no reason. Also, I read that the daylight blue bulbs were giving some sort of ocular migraine to chams. I think that every one should invest...

I got one of my boys from someone who was not mesuring temps in the cage and he got severly burned. Never leave your cham under a lamp unless you are certain the temps are right. My Eddie is fine now, but I really wonder how he got through this. I want everyone to see so no other cham is hurt...

I’d say its arboricola. He definetly needs a bit of love though! And all the cretons are toxic and cause burns in mouth when chewed. Ps. I dont think that the actinophilla is toxic, since it’s the same familly as arboricola. Anyway, if your cham is like mine, he finds the leaves of arboricola...

Hi, So I was looking for a lamp for my cham on a classifieds app and I could not help myself but to look at this... I want some opinions about if I should take him home... He seem to have suffer much with burns... I can’t help but think he needs my love :(. The lady asked 300$ but I just...

I'm glad it help! ^^

Zoo med sells some 5500k bulb but I can't remember if it's for the plants or just basic lighting. But for this one you could pick watever is cheaper since it's only to put some light in the enclosure:)

I would use T5 HO ones, since the uvb dead zone, for the 10.0 one, begins at ~45" away. In comparison, the T8 only gives uvb up to 22" away from the bulb. If you go with the T8, I suggest using 2x 10.0 uvb and 1x 5000k basic white light or "reptile vision" light and 1x plant growth light (I...

Also, since you probably bought him from a pet shop, the damage done could be pretty bad....

I did read this somewhere too! I hope I will be lucky enough to get one if it's true!! :)

Poor thing..... he doesn't look well... To me it seems like it as something to do with his eyes. What is your lighting set up? What Uvb light are you using and I would suggest you dont use a basking light at that point. You should keep your temp at about 75-78 F. Your humidity shouldn't be too...

Wow, this is so touching... and beautiful. He seemed happy. I am really sorry for your loss. May he repose in peace Thank you for sharing this with us

Thnx for the replies! :) Do you think that I could find one of these at the next reptile expo in october?

He does not drink in front of me but poop was as usual: the dark brown part and the white part (with the extra watery fluid, that comes from eating a lot of plant matter, I gess).

I live in Montreal Canada and we recently had a heat wave of 3 days. Its been about 38 C for these days. I post this because my 4 minths veiled had not been taking his food as readily as before and he wont take greens neither. He used to love any veggie from when I got him. Also he does not...

Just looking for one of these two books. I did buy the Necas one on Abebooks, but never receved and was refunded. I looked every where and did not find it. Hopefully someone is willing to sell the first edition to me :3... Thnx
