Crickets from petsmart and Dubia roaches from an independent seller called TC insects. He was tested 4 weeks after treatment. We're testing in 3 weeks now.
Worked my ass off getting all the dirt and all the plants out. The cage has been cleaned, the palm has been scrubbed, I got a new tree that is a little too large but it's ok. Set up some pvc to put a hanging plant in there, it's still draining though. He wondered around my room while watching us...
Ok I have removed more than just the first layer of dirt, put down fresh leaf litter, plucked any leaves that looked "dirty" and treated him for pinworms. Fingers crossed now.

This is what I started with but I added a wax tree and made a bamboo table, purple jew, another little palm, that's all been in there for over a year.
Sorry I fell asleep. My husband wants to try to treat and re-test. My female did not have pin worms, she passed trying to lay her 2nd clutch 😔. I did not disinfect the cage I just keep tending to it like a personal garden while it was empty.
Well tomorrow will be a busy day, I'll have to go get new plants or really deep clean the current plants and I'm thinking I will ditch the dirt and go with pots so I can have a mostly bare bottom cage. We picked up the medicine but I don't want to give it to him until we've changed the terrarium.
Lol it was for my female. I really did try my best to keep her alive and happy. I'm still very devastated that I lost her. I wasn't really mentally ready for another chameleon but I just kept staring at her empty terrarium all day and it was killing me.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I've only had him since mothers day and took him to get a check up about 5 days after I got him. Took me a couple days to find a fresh turd to bring to the vet. I think he may have had it when I bought him but who knows, you know? That's why I took...
Well I got Picasso's fecal test results back today and he has pin worms.
I have a large bioactive terrarium. Do I have to change out all the dirt and trash all my plants? I was reading other threads and it's like everything has to go. 😱
I'm going to go pick up his medication and ask the vet...
