I gave her the next round of her antibiotics today. I'm glad I'm only afraid of needles going into me and not other creatures!! She was again way more well-behaved than I'd expect from your average chameleon. She seems to already have better grip strength in her back legs and tail. The dark...

Oh bother we had to have 5 teeth removed from our 5yo dog earlier this year and it was around $2k :P after a $500-700 estimate but it turned out to be way worse lol! Most expensive free dog :D

She is still doing fine. She still wants to eat and is taking the laxative and liquid calcium just fine. Hasn't really changed much with her lower half but it still turns pale when she is sleeping. She wanted to try and climb into her big cage, but I am still keeping her in her hospital bin...

@jannb this is the estimate I was just sent by Pender for the surgery. That is actually not too bad as I was expecting minimum $2k due to costs of things here in Fairfax county :P Does this seem reasonable? I don't have pet insurance but could definitely manage this on my credit card. Anyone...

She really is so sweet. When they were showing me how to do the injection, she didn't even open her mouth and hiss. She's definitely an incredibly trusting chameleon!! So the Pender vet emailed me back and she has not done the surgery on a chameleon but has done it on bearded dragons and...

What's weird is that now that she's asleep, she's much lighter in her back half. Again I'll keep an eye on her. I'm going to go to bed since I'm starting to stress over this too much. Thanks for all your advice everyone.

I will see how she is doing tomorrow and see if I can call them. Again I am unsure of a costly and risky surgery given her age and how she currently is. Also probably having to pay a second time for exams and all that. I know I can ask when I call, but do you know how much the spaying costs...

Today I visited Pender Exotics though I have taken her to STAHL in the past. I live pretty close to both. They haven't done the surgery many times at Pender so if I did opt for it I'd probably call STAHL and see if their doctors have more experience. We actually were waiting until she's just a...

Obviously she's not 100%. But aside from dragging her back legs she is still eating and drinking. Again, I'll make her as comfortable as I can. She's had a good life until now and I kind of expected egg issues to be the final issue!

She is currently eating + drinking, but she is either impacted or has eggs pushing on her organs. Her lower half is darker colored and she doesn't want to use her hind legs and tail as much though she still has movement. She had xrays and we confirmed it wasn't a break so mildly puzzling. She...

Hi there everyone. Lurker of the forums here. Still have my first chameleon, my female ambilobe Becky at 3.5years old. :) She has been doing good until recently. She is due to lay eggs but having trouble this time. I can get into details if desired but long story short I had to take her to the...

It's literally not forcing them. A lot of people even just noticed their chameleon would go for the container catching water from their dripper. some people also just still use a dripper and clean out the catch bowl every day. It specifically need to be a clear bowl/glass that catches light rays...

That's not true on zero data, there's literally tons of people from the subreddit with data to support them drinking from water glasses for YEARS. I'm not here to argue on that though since I know that isn't the preferred method here. I just know you all also shut that idea down anytime it comes...

Reddit isn't an inherently bad source of info. It's not a (primarily) one-topic site like this one or other [example-animal] sites are. Y'all can have your own opinions but trash-talking another site instead of just saying something like "we don't prefer those methods here" is kinda telling...

I haven't actually seen the larvae, I only see the actual flies themselves. But they sure seem to match! I could get a more zoomed in pic tomorrow.

We have an extra trashbin in our backyard for weeds. We don't empty it very often and whaddya know, now it's a breeding ground for BSF! We don't treat our backyard at all, as I let my chameleon our there sometimes in certain areas, so I could feed them to her if I really wanted to. Probably not...

Mantises can actually live for several months up to a year as adults if they're female! :) And depending on species. It's the males that have extremely short lifespans regardless of whether they're wild or captive. I don't find them often in the wild anymore, but it definitely is always fun...

Where are you located? Those both look female Stagmomantis sp.

Yup, I have only had it for around 2 years so still figuring things out, but my panther girl LOVES the tree. :D Oh also I'm in Virginia to give an idea on the weather it's been doing well in.

Hey you'll probably want to double check its light requirements but I have a Chicago fig tree I got from a coworker as a cutting and it's done well both on a fairly shady apartment porch and now in my backyard. I think htey mostly just grow faster with full sun. But specifically the Chicago fig...
