Poor lil gal. You're lucky you have a manager that cares for the pets at the store, I know many who won't give vet care to store animals(I have experienced this and had to learn fast and try my best with sick reptiles when my boss refused medical care...)
I hope ferritinmyshoes has some...
Junglefries - thanks for that! I haven't given him a shower since before I started the meds. Wanted to see how he was reacting to the meds before I added stress of moving him to the shower, he's getting a shower tonight.
Montium - First off, that link crashed my computer (work computer...
Oh my this is hilarious! I have yet to hear a chameleon fart, but I have an iguana, who can put anyone to shame lol. Her farts will blow dust off the branches, and then to top it all off, she does this arm wave afterwards towards her back end, like she's fanning her fart away!
Now I must go...
Looks very nice. Good care sheet. Easy to navigate. I like how when you hover over the options at the top they highlight in black. Some colours of printing are hard to look at on some background colours. Maybe it's just me, and I've been staring at a computer screen all day lol. The green...
Hello, those spots are not mites as far as I can tell. Looks to me like a fungus or burns. Would you mind filling out this form "How to Ask for Help."

Thank you for replying, Carol. Maybe I read his weight wrong when the vet weighed him, I didn't have the best view. I'm going to weigh him again tonight when I take him out for meds. He is a really small nosy be panther, much smaller than my ambilobe.
As far as the wart on his nose goes, no...
Update - Picked up medicine for Lil Blue last Friday. Blood test results were: "Infection," dehydration, and low immune system...for $140 full blood panel I would have thought it would be more specific...I didn't even think blood work could show dehydration. They wouldn't tell me what vitamins...
Hi, she looks very healthy in those pics. Cage could use a few more branches and plants, though, especially around the basking area so she feels comfortable up there. She may becoming gravid for the first time, hence the color changes. Or, going through her teenage phase, on her way to be being...
Here are some pictures. The first picture where he is actually blue, was when I first got him in June 2014. His eyes are nice and round. The 4 pictures with him fired up orange, you can see the change in the shape of his eyelids. Those were taken about a month ago.
Hello everyone. So I took my panther chameleon to the vet today, suspect a vitamin deficiency. I have been having issues with him for a couple months, where he would close one eye or the other, or both, for only a day or two at time. Then be normal for a week, then back to eyes being shut. At...
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to fill out How to Ask for Help.
I'll admit, I won't be much help with the eye issue, but any eye issues really do warrant a vet visit. That picture isn't very clear, either. Any chance of better pictures, and full cage set up? Did that bulge suddenly come...
So sorry to hear:-( You really did make all the best efforts to save this little guy. I think you are an awesome reptile parent:-)
I can't answer the breeder questions...but I will make a suggestion for your next cham. If you are looking for a veiled or panther, they are common enough to buy...
Hi there, sorry to hear your cham isn't feeling well:-( Eye issues can be the cause of many things, would you mind filling out " How to Ask for Help," so we can help you out better? Pictures of your set up and more of her would be great, too.

I just read your other thread, glad you could get to the vet earlier. I agree with zlew, don't bathe your cham in a tub of water. From my readings it is thought only turtles can take in water through their cloaca(although I have bathed bearded dragons and snakes, and have witnessed air bubbles...
Alrighty I'm going to put my two cents worth in here.
My experience with silkworms:
My first batch was May of this year. It was perfect, practically 100% hatch out, less than 10% loss. I had big healthy silkworms up to 4 months old when I fed off the last of them. Since then, 20,000 eggs...
I guess I always ask the hard questions haha but I'm happy to report they made it through the night. I think keeping the light on helped. There was a third moth when I came home today. They are happy buzzing around the hummingbird feeder. So neat:)
So they pupated(7) nov 9 and started...
From what I've read, the only benefit to spring water is avoiding the calcium build up that can come from tap water. Also, bottled water can be treated with reverse osmosis, and softeners, making it higher in sodium. Going to lose out on good minerals with filtered water(bottled water never...
Hi I hope some one can help me out here. I had hawk moths emerge today, 2 so far out 7. And I honestly wasn't expecting them to with the luck I've been having lately. So I'm unprepared and don't have a hummingbird feeder or food. I went out to find one and no such luck. My bf will get me one...
Does look like a burn, although it is on an odd spot, can still happen. I see my chams in some really funny basking positions. I use betadine for burns, and everything else skin related. You can use it full strength as a swab, 50/50 with water as a spray(spray outside cage so he doesn't rub it...
