Sorry, can't get another pic because it's back in the chameleon jungle but when I'm doing stuff in there again tomorrow and if I see it I will get a better photo. It kinda looks like your photo but I think it had white antennae, and it had wings that it fluttered but I never actually saw it...
I was redecorating one of my chameleon cages today and this bug kept bugging me. I don't know if there is more than one in there or if it was the same one who kept insisting on crawling on me but I have never seen one of these. Is it possibly something that fell out of the food dish and...
Thank you for the great diet plan and nutritional info! I'm going to print it and put it near his cage and make sure he knows it came from you so he won't hate me about his diet! :cool: The things I ordered that have a higher fat content can go to my young female who I'm still working on to...
Thanks, I can do that but I guess I need to know how low to go with his intake? 3 days a week, 2-3 medium crickets? This is what I have coming in Thursday:
Large Mealworms × 1
100
Medium Hornworms × 1
24ct
Medium 3/4" Dubia × 2
25
Waxworms × 1
50...
Rescued my male adult about a week ago and was told (and agree) he looks overweight. I've actually got him eating from my hand now and I would love to continue working with him to trust me but how do I do that while I have to restrict his food intake? All I've been giving him off my hand is...
Good point.... he didn't stay there long but next time he is there I will hit it with my temperature gun. I could try checking what the temp of the branch is at that point but I think it's a lot more accurate to see what the temp on his casque would be. If he seems to hang there a lot I will...
Hi Guys.
I rescued Clyde (adult male) 5 days ago and have gotten his new cage, lights, branches, etc. set up and moved him in a few minutes ago. Let me know if you see anything that needs to be adjusted/changed. Once he gets acclimated I'll check all the UVB readings again to see what his...
It wasn't very helpful in determining if my little girl had a problem or not because her poop never looks like that when I see it in the cage, and I had never actually caught her in the act before so I didn't know if that was what it normally looks like as it's leaving the body. But the...
Back from the store. She said she was able to get an appointment with their reptile vet for tomorrow afternoon. I told her I had assumed they would observe her for a day or two first and she said they NORMALLY do that but with a chameleon so young, they can go downhill fast and didn't want...
Well? She hasn't eaten today (which isn't totally uncommon) and she seems lethargic, eyes half closed. I just pulled out my Petco contract and it said I am to bring her in within 30 days if I suspect she's sick and they'll observe/take to a vet. Today is EXACTLY day 30 since I got her. I...
Petco. Everything in this particular store is very clean and seemingly well-cared for, and the reptile guy knew his stuff and instructed me on the proper lighting and hydration. But that doesn't mean it wasn't weak or sick when they got it.

Yes and no on the fecal. They won't do one without seeing her and they can't see her until March 17. I called another reptile vet (that I found through using the vet search tool) and he's no longer seeing reptiles.

Don't see any NEWLY fresh poop but it could have fallen down to the bioactive area where it's hard to spot. I took a photo of her pooping yesterday (this hobby has really turned me into a strange person!) because I didn't know if that was what it normally looks like in the process. Is this...
Just checked on my little girl and saw this wet spot on the branch under her. That is not where her dripper is and I did not just mist. It's slimy, like mucous. I don't know if it came from her mouth or nose but I'm guessing this is very bad. URI?

Your opinion on what is more efficient / less annoying: since I'm going to be bugging you guys a LOT over the next few weeks/months being a fairly new mom to now 2 chameleons, should I keep tacking my questions onto this existing thread or do you prefer I start a new thread with each specific...
