So she was doing well. I had her on antibiotics for 4 days and eating babyfood and drinking pedialyte out of a syringe. She seemed more active her color was good everything. Then she just stopped. Opening her mouth to get food in is impossible and her energy is at zero. She's been this way for a...

Btw where is that setup form I can fill out so you guys can point out where I am going wrong. I'm sure there is way more I can be doing differently an better with her setup and I would like to get it all done before I move her back in so I'm not doubly stressing her with an under construction...
Day three of antibiotics, and she seems to be doing well. Her energy is up, shes hissing at me more (she hates me ;) and she is feeding. I have her in a seperate tub with sand and one plant as well as a basking light to keep temps up. The vet told me to keep her out of her normal environment...
Thank god you all pushed for the vet, she was not eggbound, she was septic, probably from some infection she got while living on the street, got a shot of antibiotics and with a little luck and some care she will back to normal in a few days. Thank you all again...
I get it and I thank everyone for the advice, I just didnt know that a chameleon needing to lay eggs is considered-going downhill. Just in case gonna take her in to the vet. got an appt in an hour with an exotics dr.
thanks again!

90-95 is way too hot? There is plenty of cooler spots in the cage but she climbs for the top spot which is about 8 inches away from the basking lights? So should I move her into the larger plastic bin even though she has recognized the small sand bin in her cage? I just dont want to stress her...
At first I dusted her crickets everytime, giving her two-3 crickets daily. I noticed a few weeks back she was blowing salts through her nasal cavaties and I read that it could be from over-supplementing so I cut back.I still feed her everyday just only dust the crickets 1-2 a week
Hi There,
just looking for a bit of advice, Im brand new to this pet and this forum so please bear with my inexperience. I recently (2 months ago) rescued a female veiled that was found walking the streets of my town. I built her an enclosure at 2'x2'x4' achieved a basking temp of around 90-95...
