Thanks for all of the suggestions! Since four o'clock i have had all my artificial vines, plants, etc. in hot water all in my bath tub ;) I then added liquid dish soap and have left it sitting since. I just drained the tub 5 hours later to add more soap as well as more hot water. As far as the...

thanks everyone for your condolences <3 :love:Sam is missed greatly, he was my everything. If in the future I do plan getting another chameleon how should i go about cleaning all of the previous items in the cage? (leaves, plants, vines) Also, could a new chameleon get sick from living in the...

UPDATE: The vet and myself made a decision to put my little Sam down today. It was clear that he was suffering with his eye problem and was not going to get better. He is in a better place and state, he will be remembered always. <3

I have made an appointment for the vet tomorrow. His coloring is almost fully black. I emailed my vet yesterday and he said that he may have to remove the eye! Is this something practical that can be done to help him? I dont want him to suffer.

Im so worried about him:( he has not eaten in the past 5 days! I offered him various worms, and crickets and he didnt take any of them up! He did have a small piece of kale and carrot a few days ago. He has been on an antibiotic called Septra to deal with an open wound. Im very sad about his...

Should i let the water him him from the shower head? Or should i just let the water trickle off of the side?

So you suggest putting him in the shower on a plant, and let the warm water hit him? Will do!

Hi everybody! I'm very worried about Sam. Last night I noticed that while he was sleeping his eye was all bulged out. This morning I took a closer look and noticed it ideas even bigger. Here are some images. On the forums so are saying it could be a sign of cleaning their eyes, but i just wanted...

Yes that I know! I sexed him when I first got him! I was just really confused why it was said lol. Didn't think that I questioned the gender. The vet agreed with me he is in fact a male!

Very neat! I will see what the antibiotic does and wait for a shed and see if it heals and forms new skin!

Yes! He is eating like an animal!! The thing was, Sam is acting like his normal self! Bright lovely colors! Soaking up some light! Eating! So to think this could have killed him was a complete shock and a very serious issue. The vet said that he may be in some pain, is this possible that he...

Update: Today I took Sam to the local vet. He said that there is very little infection, but it is an open wound that needs to be cleaned. He prescribed an antibiotic called Septra. Once a day for one month in a syringe that can be squeezed in his mouth. There was a small surgery to debride the...

Yikes!! I will be contacting my local vet to take a look at him. Thanks again everyone!

I plan on taking Sam to the vet soon. Out of curiosity, would a shed help this issue if it is not a fungal infection? Is it like a scab that will eventually heal itself? Thanks again to everyone who helped me out! ;)

Here is what he looks like asleep (being woken up! ;)) with more definite coloring. The glow on the bump is layered with some Neosporin

Hey Daniel I'm a little confused? Are you talking about Sam? I didn't know I had a pic of the tail. Also he is only 3 months old or so.

This appeared since his previous shed at the end of March. I do not own any other reptiles besides Sam, and WOW I did not realize this could be something deadly. :( If it turns out to be a fungus are there any solutions to help fix it? Will a normal shed do the trick?

I put some Neosporin on it tonight right before bed, over the past few weeks it looked like it was fading away. I will give it a few more days to see how the Neosporin helps. He also should be shedding soon, and that may help as well! Thanks a ton Dave!

Hi everyone! am a huge chameleon forums fan and have been using it along the way when I got Sam my chameleon! I have had Sam for about two months now. He had his last shed about a month ago, and I noticed that he had a black bump on the top of his right leg. I looked into it on the forums and...
