Yes, the visit is 85 dollars, x-rays are close to 100. I'm also near Chicago. 1hr to 1.5 away. It could just be this area as well.

Thank you!! I really appreciate all the responses. I can go back to the mister twice a day. Yes I clean his cup daily or rotate it daily with a clean one. When I hand clean it I use a splash of cleaning vinegar and rinse aggressively with water to make sure there is none left. Is cleaning...

How much have any of you paid for a blood panel for your chameleons? I'm just curious. I'm super low on money and have called around and only my current vet can give me a number. Vet isn't in until tomorrow but full panels for a chameleon is about 350.

So the Reptivite is bad right? Is that what you're saying? If so I switched to Miner-All as it doesn't have phosphorus. I literally just switched though like month ago. He had been on Reptivite 2 x monthly for 7-8 months.

He had a enima and fluid injections under the skin to get the blockage moving again. X-rays showed lower bone density but not full MBD, more like heading towards MBD. Something that was only visible on x-rays but in all other vet visits his bones seemed good. Including limb bones / jaw / ribs...

Your Chameleon - Veiled, Male, 8-9 months. Since Jan. 1st Handling - I don't very often if at all. He has quite the additude and doesn't like to be bothered. I mainly enjoy sitting on my couch and watching him for sometimes hours. I find him fascinating. Feeding - Dubias, crickets, snacks...

Also, both x-rays didn't show a physical impaction although I guess it could have been missed. I'm going to call the vet clinic on the list. Is there anything wrong with picking up the x-rays from my other vet from a little over a week ago? It was like 200 dollars for both them and it would...

Excellent point!!

Thanks!! The good thing is he has pretty much been living outside during the day for about 9 days now. I check on him every hour or so. So he is getting some good natural sun now. When I get home I'll swap the T8 for the T5 and when I get time in the next 2 days I'll grab an Arcadia 6%

I have a T5 5% in my closet. I was thinking about upgrading the bulb to a Arcadia 6%. Is that fine? I was worried the T5 was to close to him so I swapped it out for a T8 5% about 4 months months ago. I will swap it out when I get home and grab an Arcadia 6% bulb for it as well. Anything...

This is a picture I just took. Just brought him inside. You can see how swollen he still is.

Hi - Larry The Lizard, my 8.5 month male veiled chameleon has a good chance of dying. Don't worry, I have already been to the Vet over a week ago. This is my first chameleon and despite 2 months of research before I purchased him things went downhill fast. I am taking care of him like a...
