i was pretty shocked to actually see this happen, he was gasping for air, froze, started turning black and he fell over :(
what i would like to do is.. prepare my setup, 100% PROPERLY, and start over..
hopefully i can get some help from you guys, if you don't mind.
finally some good news, theres no vet near me that will look at reptiles, is there anyone here online that has advice on what i should do? is there anything i can get online to feed him to help?
okay so im SO CONFUSED!!!
i changed his UVB bulb, been giving him showers for 30 minutes (except the past two days). this morning both eyes are open. he's moving around ALOT…
but still:
1. hes not eating
2. he 'yawns' ALOT
3. sometimes he will leave his mouth open
4. when he goes to...
just picked one up, hopefully this makes a difference over time with his colour and eyes. he seems a little bit 'less green' than normal :( to be honest, I've had him for about 10 months, I've never changed the UVB bulb i know its bad but to be honest they never told me that i had to change it...
i misted him last night for about 30 minutes, then i had to leave for a job. when icame home he was sleeping and all the lights were off. This morning both eyes were open and he was under the heat lamp. eyes still looked a tad sunken so i will mist him again when I'm home. probably for the next...
wow! thanks for all the info! he seems to be doing better today, both his eyes are fully open, I'm going to adjust the mister to increase the timing and how long it mists for. also i will gut load my crickets better. the humidity now is about 75.
ok, i checked temperature its at 70, and humidity is at about 27…. i think thats a problem.. right?
both eyes seem to be better i showered him again, but when he finds a spot he's comfortable with he just sits there and closes his eyes. he saw a cricket but did nothing :(
any suggestions?
Your Chameleon - Veiled cham, about a year old i would say.
Handling - only when i need to clean the cage, maybe once every 3-4 weeks
Feeding - I have a big cage so i put a bunch of crickets in there, lots of meal worms are in the soil (jungle mix) and the crickets are fed this green jelly that...
gr thats so frustrating about the red light i just bought it! :(
I have 2 mist nozzles that go off every 12 hours for about 15 seconds,
The options are Frequency (1,3,6,12 hours) and seconds (15,30,45,1m)
the humidity i need to check i don't remember exactly also the temp. why would...
hmm ill try the cotton ball thing when I'm home, before i left i actually did shower him for 20 minutes and his eye seems to be closed now, so I'm not sure if i helped him or not, but i will hopefully check up on him during lunch, or after 5 when i get home from work. i think he looks better...
i just started putting a red light a few days ago, i don't think that is the issue, he can't close his eye which worries me, ill try the shower method for 20 minutes tonight after work and see what happens. no there aren't any vets close by the only one that does reptiles is 3 hours away. ill...
Hi there, my cham pedro seems to be ill :(
Im really scared and don't know what to do, his left eye seems to be infected somehow it kind of looks a little grey in there he can't fully close it, his right seems to be okay but he keeps it closed. rarely I've seen both open for a few seconds then...
