in the beginging of June 2009 a friend of mine was given a veiled chameleon. he didn't know much about chameleons or how sick she really was. i posted my first thread reguarding her on the 9th of june. here is a link with pictures included...
i have no idea what that means for her to have dark bags under her eyes. but if her eyes are closed be sure she is still getting water (at least) and some food if possible. i'm sorry i can't help :(
i put together the progress pictures for those of you who asked for it...of course all others are welcome to enjoy :)
TODAY 7/2/2009
getting crafty with that tail
too hot in the sun
and a bug she didn't want so he became my model
she...
when i first got her remember how she could bearly move, she layed in my hand with her eyes closed. although her eyes are not ALWAYS open yet today i was holding her outside in the sun and i really noticed how much better her grip has gotten. with one hand below the other i turn her upside down...
so i stopped soaking annie hoping that she might be a shy drinker. for 3 days i left her with the automatic mister and a dripper. she urate today was orange again :(
if soaking her is going to make her sick am i supposed to force her mouth open every day and spray water in her.... i really...
its seems like Annie has plateaued in her water absorption. how much water can they absorb in each soak? i'm still soaking her since she won't drink but it seems like the progress i've seen in her eyes has stopped :confused:
my mom talked about this after i got my first cham and i didn't believe her. she said "nope it changed color and everything", talking about how her sister had one from the fair. i showed her a picture of an anole and she said YEP! thats it! i guess my aunt had it for a few days before it died...

oh gosh you haven't seen the new "light rail." the thing runs along side the freeway a few hundred feet in the air. i'm not use to seeing it yet. it opens next month but i know it'll be ghetto in no time :rolleyes: it goes from downtown to the airport (this is on 518 by the airport)
Annie was so excited to go to the vet that she wanted to drive. she was a pretty good drive too, she checked the lanes before changing into them :p
so the vet didn't want to do xrays. she said "if we see eggs i'll say keep doing what your doing, if i don't see eggs i'll say keep doing...
ya, i've tried that, and i've tried having it run down a branch to her. tried letting water dropplets collect on all the leaves so theres no way she wouldn't find one, i've tried letting it drip from numerous spots in her cage (all at ones, like heavy rain). she just a tough one to figure out...
