Like Andee said, PowerSun provides both UVB and heat. I didn't know this is what you had since you said ReptiSun. My guess would be that he either could not get close enough to absorb the UVB he needed, or it was too hot up close. Also, do you have anything other than screen between the bulb...

It looks like MBD to me. You said you have a 100W ReptiSun UV bulb, and it looks like there is only one light in the cage. This is most likely an incandescent heat bulb. You need at least a basking (incandescent) bulb which can be just a standards house bulb, and a ReptiSun 5.0 UVB bulb. The...

Looks like a piece of poop to me as well.

This isn't correct. Many people have had success with the Exo-Terra-style vented glass terrariums. See the below thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/everyone-who-knows-you-cant-keep-chams-glass-31937/ However, for an adult male veiled/panther/jacksons you will need a 2x2x4 cage...

Is that a current picture? Because he doesn't look dehydrated. Since you said his urates are yellow it may just be a slight case of dehydration. They rarely drink when you are watching. Does he have plenty of real plant leaves to lap drops off of? You could also try a dripper if your not...

It might help if you could get a new picture with the affected area in focus instead of the eye. The only things I could think of that could cause something like that would either be a sharp object in the cage or some kind of insect/spider bite.

Is it possible she was able to get too close to a heat source? Is there actually a hole that goes all the way through into her mouth? Hard to tell what that is even on the larger picture. Have you looked inside her mouth?

So did you give them Vitamin A? Do you have a good picture of the eye you could post?

I wouldn't have it mounted on the side like that because it could damage his eyes over time. I would either mount it above the cage or get a smaller fixture. Usually a 2ft is best, because this is the size of an adult cage. It shouldn't cause a problem on top of the cage, but he needs to be...

I don't think he looks burned, I think that is just the camera exposure. My guess would be vitamin A deficiency since that usually starts with one eye closing and no other symptoms. Another possibility is that he has something in his eye. I am not sure what the bump above his eye is. Is...

Just looked at it again and that is really amazing CG. When I looked at it briefly the first time, I thought they had used real panthers and just used CG for the mouth movement and fake color changing, but looking at it closely it is clearly pure CG. They must have either had someone with a...

I hadn't seen this commercial before. I am amazed they used real chameleons and not cheap anatomically incorrect animation. Seems like they actually put some effort into that commercial. Advertising is the opposite of reality anyway :)

Nice, that looks like the ultimate value system? They work great and I have a couple that have worked flawlessly with no maintenance other than adding water. I have used the AquaZamp raindomes and custom made rain domes with the MistKing nozzles and both work great with this system.

I have a couple aquazamp pumps and they usually prime themselves after a few minutes, but how long I am sure depends on the configuration. If it is taking a long time you can manually prime it as others described.

I don't have personal experience with Jackson neonates but from what I've read they should be eating after 54 hours. What type of fruit flies are you using? Hydei are best because they are larger. Do they have food available to them at all waking hours? Is the food concentrated in an area...

You actually would want to use a Solarmeter 6.2 for a UVB reading. 6.5 is for UV Index. https://www.solarmeter.com/model62.html The chameleon's basking spot should generally not drop below 35uw. The following article gives detailed information on all the different meters and pretty much...

Really sorry for your loss, didn't see this until just now due to work :(. The only thing I see that is really off in your husbandry is the supplementation and gut loading like zlew mentioned. You should dust at every feeding with plain calcium, calcium with D3 twice a month, and multivitamin...

Despite the marketing, the orange cubes aren't a very good source of vitamins. It is best to use fresh fruits and vegetables for gut-loading. In addition, you should dust the food with supplements. Although it is possible to overdose on vitamins, as long as you follow a tested schedule you...

I'm really sorry for your loss. :( I don't know if this is your only cham or if you plan on having another at some point, but if you want any help diagnosing any environmental issues that may have been related, you can fill out the help form. RIP Herby :(

Her behavior indicates she is not receptive. She does look wide in the pictures you provided, and may be gravid. Since the was in a cage with many other chams at the store, she may even give birth to live babies since Jacksons are live-bearing. This process would take 6+ months though. If she...
