As a heat riser myself, i dont deal with above cage radiant heat. Ill pop a indoor/outdoor DC heating pad under the cage. They are very low wattage, like 15-25 watts and bump the cage 5-10 degrees. But the heat only has one place to go, up... Ill also(much to the confusion of the cham) move...

legs/joints look swollen. Shed looks normal.

I have had zero amputations, so at least i won that lottery. But ive only had 1 chameleon at a time, so we are talking less than a dozen as a sample size. And all of mine have been due to injuries, not mbd.

Unfortunately chams can not compensate/adapt aim. Its hardwared in. So if the fling bone is deformed due to lack of calcium/D3, the cham will miss for the rest of its life. As the cham is very young, its possible that with good husbandry the bone will correct itself with growth to adulthood...

The girls head angle gets you every time. And some how she has double the side spikes.

You may be fine. If the blood flow hasnt be damaged, at worse you will have a kink. The tail will be black for a few weeks, even if it is good. Any damage no matter how light will cause the skin to turn black. If the blood flow is damaged, the best case scenario is it will dry gangrene and...

I believe i was missed on page one. or i might be able to dig up a better photo from the 90's lol.

We can get the OG's going

To piggy back off of MissSkilles: silkies are a low protein low uric acid feeder black soldier anything would be low uric acid if fed just veg, same with wax worms As for bought feeders, ALOT of suppliers feed them a high protein diet because they grow exceptionally fast on it, and its very...

Dont feed your feeders high protein fish flakes etc. This includes "meat". Even if said feeders dont store the excess as uric acid, they will be higher in non insect/veggie protein. Cham kidneys will only take so many pinkies per week before they start getting iffy, as an example. Though it...

two day time lapse of left over pasta.

At least im not the only one that uses slate for the heating pad.

The only time i have had this issue is over feeding lizards pinkies. AKA too much organ meat. And this caused kidney issues, not gout. You are correct that gout is caused by the kidneys not getting rid of the uric acid fast enough. Unfortunately i dont have the key of either increasing...

High protein feeders dont cause gout. feeding high protein feeders, high protein, causes the feeders to store protein as uric acid. Uric acid is unique to the insect world. Us mouth breathers can not "store" protein. So our bodies do not know what to do with the stuff. Mouth breathers then...

Poop technology Starts off white urate and transitions to brown fecal yours starts off white, does the transition to orange(this is where dehydrate comes in, if its alot of orange then its dehydrated) I dont see orange urate and after the first 1/3 of the poo, the urate is covering the fecal...

I dont think that is blood. Blood in stool isnt blood colored, and if it is, its only during the first few minutes of being pooped. So it might just be something red. What is your feeders and gut load?

If ANYTHING gets injured, its going to pretty much make the whole limb/tail dark from the injury to the tip/end. Its not nearly as bad as it looks. One cricket bite or a scrape is enough.

It will work. SInce its not halogen its only going to last 1000 ish hours. So you will need 2-3 a year. I switched to these two styles long ago. They are basically a bulb in a bulb. I was tipped off to these by my turtle guy as they are basically splashproof.

"chicken or beef" That's better than my vet "cherry or bubble gum" I went with bubble gum, it was pink, the beardy loved it. Vet said they have a natural sweet tooth.
