The massive wall of txt that I would usually reply with is not practical on my phone. I have recently messed up my wifi hot spot and am without pc access for a few days. I will try to respond tomorrow. Imo, there are several issues with the husbandry listed on the help form. A young xanth like...

Imo, healthy neonates should awake and active during most daylight hrs. Jmo

the only red i see, is in the last photo of the gular (neck) area, red hues in this area and in the armpits is a common coloration, red spots (flecks) on the other hand could be a warning flag of something, but imo his behavior is probably a more important indicator. hes a great looking boy and...

imo, cricks and mealworms arent the best xanth feeders, and never feed waxworms. that being said the more variety of healthy feeders you can offer, the better. no single feeder should make up more than 40% of the diet and imo dubia are probably best for that. i recommend to reserve cricks...

too much food can cause impaction, as well as too much calcium. a healthy cham can go weeks without eating so, imo, i would recommend 1. discontinuing all calcium until the problem is resolved. excess cholecalciferol/d3 acummulates in the liver, and hangs there for weeks, so imo delivering d3...

direct sunlight is good (shade provided), but imo, as long as they are getting several hrs a week of unfiltered daylight (meaning shade, overcast whatever) then they are getting enough natural uvb to dispense with d3 altogether. i know that 2hrs of daylight a week (assuming it includes a fair...

just to be clear imo, the hot water is not a good thing, it turns the fiber to stringy muck, so you have to cool it down,wring it out/dry it, before you can use it for repotting, and when you are finished it is still not as dirt like consistency as the bagged product, and doesnt work as well for...

not trying to say i told you so, but considering your location, that was pretty much a given. the Hawaii dlnr has already acknowledged that every wild specimen they have tested or autopsied has had some sort of parasitic infection. imo its unlikely that anyone selling them there, would pay more...

it sounds like it could possibly be a threadworm, although threadworms wouldnt usually be solo. pics would have been immensely helpful. if it happens again, i would try to check it for movement under a good magnifying glass or viewer, would probably also be a good idea to check out his feces...

imo, his appetite is changing because his metabolism is changing, and not in a good way. imo both meal worms and cricks are not the best of feeders for montanes . should be noted that not all veggies are cham healthy either. imo would probably be prudent to fill out a help form, before things...

for the $, im kind of partial to the $20 zilla hygro therm. jmo https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/xanthoman-albums-zilla-hygrotherm-picture14859-zilla-hygrometer-thermometer-other-stuff.html

if you get your cage well planted and use the $9 pump sprayer pictured in my cf, mist till drenching 5x a day, imo, that will be plenty, imo, to get it any closer to raining would take a mist king or similar setup. certainly the preferred setup in a perfect world but imo, not necessary to...

microscopically speaking, there is no such thing as good dirt. at least not in cham terms. please see post #129 of this thread. https://www.chameleonforums.com/rescue-jack50n-trying-bring-him-back-life-help-87118/ eating dirt is often thought to be a sign of some sort of mineral deficiency...

falling, not because of fat. just to be clear falling is not normal no matter how fat they are. falling is a red flag of a significant metabolic imbalance of one sort or another. i would get it to the vet asap and withold food (except for what is required to deliver a match of plain cal a...

about soil replacement. of course this is just my way which is certainly not the only viable way, but in case you didnt catch it in the massive wall of text in my earlier post, imo, all you need in the way of plants is one large schlefferra which you can probably get at home depot for less than...

here i go, trolling again. having your first gravid animal can be really exciting, but imo, you are correct in your reservations. being gravid is often not a good thing. the reality is, she will need fairly good husbandry, if she is to have a healthy clutch and survive it. giving birth is...

likely gravid jmo. i would say that she is likely gravid. she is not yet showing typical gravid coloration but not all do, plus the little dark flecks are likely a hint that she is working on more typical gravid coloration. plus its not like getting them to do the deed is difficult. the male...

gavaging every time you force feed a cham, it cause severe distress which takes days or even weeks to recover from. it also usually cause significant physical injury. in addition chams breath from a hole under their tongue, which can easily aspirate food or water. imo gavaging (force feeding)...
