Excited for all of his quirky moods. Turned the lights on, and he looked at me like I was satan!! I just smiled, and slowly walked away to let him explore and bask...in an hr or so I will feed him.
The lady there said she has 2 panther chams at home, and quickly recognized her condition. I'm hoping she takes her in. Maybe I'll call up there tomorrow and ask.
As for the new little guy, from what you can see from the pics....does he look alright. I feel confident in him being on the...
U might be able to get some usable data by scrolling the old archived post about the panther chams that have passed, it could help give a basic range on age after weeding out sickness ect... if u go on google and type in preferred keyword "panther cham passed away" with ChameleonForum after...it...
Many of you helped me out on my first post, after I recieved my first cham as a bday present. Her health continued to decline...even with the suggested husbandry.
Brought her in today...she was diagnosed with MBD and RI...I cried.. of course. They let me choose a new, healthy, baby. (I wasnt...
When she first came home her left eye was always closed...and still stays closed most of the time, except when hunting and climbing. At first I chalked it up to stuck shed... but when I mist her, she acts like it's painful and sort of looks like she attempts to bite at her eye/left side if water...
Will be here Monday. I just seen her drink. And she seems to have hard time swallowing now....it breaks my heart....her colors are also very dark today, and her other eye seems to be bugging her now... talked to vet over video. Says it looks like RI and malnutrition. Suggested I take her back.
I woke up, and switched on her lights at the usual 7am...and this time...she seemed not too well...she almost fell, but caught herself, and quickly climbed to her basking spot. Going to bring her into the closet cham vet I can find. She also "sneezed" twice after she almost fell. I was really...
Thank you guys for the advice and fast replies! I have a screened in porch I could set up a spot for her. She would never be left unattended. I'm glad she's looking/feeling better.
She seems to be doing even better this morning. I think I'll keep her. Her eye is staying open, and I think you guys were right, it might be stuck shed. She's eating alot more too! The first day I only got her to eat 3 dusted crickets...now she eats as many as I'll offer (which is usually 15...
She's looking a little better today, not as skinny/dehydrated looking. Gave her a morning mist, and this time she didn't itch or favor her eye...I turned her basking light on for 30 minutes, just to get her going...and switched on the UVB...she went to her basking place for a good 15 minutes...
