I'm sorry to hear about your loss, I went through one as well last week so I know it's tough. I hope that this doesn't discourage you from taking part in the care and raising of chameleons. They are truly amazing creatures.
No pedialyte isn't the milk for babies, but it is for babies nonetheless. It is an oral electrolyte maintenace solutuion. Mainly it prevent's dehydration. You can think it down to the babies version of gatorade. It is very helpful in preventing cham dehydration as well. As for giving him...
I'm so sad
My dear Faucker passed away yesterday while I was at work. I'm gonna miss him so much, especially since he was the one to get me interested in herps to begin with. I can't begin to express how awful I feel. In a small way I'm glad, however, it drove me crazy to see how sick he was...
Well after being given the shot he was a bit grumpy for the rest of the day, not very responsive. But the next day he was active and moving around and he kept it up for about 5 days, the vet thinks that he has a condition other than a vitamin deficiency though, so I probably wont be able to...
Repto-cal is a calcium supplement. I jsut lightly dust crickets with it one day a week. I mostly feed him silkies but once a week I give him crickets with an odd waxie thrown in.
Well I used to feed the crickets dry gutload but they wouldn't touch the stuff so a friend of mine who's a bearded dragon breeder told me to put those veggies in there instead. I figured it was sound advice because he's been breeding beardies for 5 years now with no health problems whatsoever...
He is a year and a half old. I've been meaning to get the humidity gauge for him for some time now, but whenever I have money and time the pet store "just ran out"....bums.
I gut load his crickets with carrots, spinach, and potatoes, and I dust them with repto-cal. But I usually feed him...
Thanks for the help and support guys I really appreciate it. Well yesterday after all those injections Faucker was just pertty upset for the rest of the day and refused to move from his branch for any reason. He wasn't upside down but he was very dark colored. I saw him drinking this morning...
I took Faucker to the vet today
I took faucker to the vet today and boy was it frustrating. I take him to a cet where they specialize in avian and exotic animals because I wouldn't trust to take him to a cat and dog vet. Well they looked him over and they couldn't pinpoint exactly what is...
I don't see any signs of dehydration, or any swelling. He still eats and drinks normally, he just isn't active anymore. When i took him to the vet they gave him a full physical, the checked his bm, they drew some blood, the checked his eyes and reflexes all that and he said that other than the...
I had posted on here before ( labeled I need help) about my faucker and his eye condition. I took him to a vet, got some eye drops and soon he was all better. But in the last few days, two to be exact, he has looked different. Better yet he is acting different. He never was the extremely...
I just learned something new!
I've had my Faucker and krmsyn for 9 months now and I have used the black nightlight for both of them i didn't know it wasn't a good thing. They never had a ny problems with it that I noticed they sleep out on vines in the middle of their enclosures. Should I...
yeah he was a gift from my friend J.P. When he paid for him and tried to pick him up he started hissing and gaping at him, and would not let him touch him. So he brought him to my house christened with the name Faucker.
This is my cham the day I got him. It was late november and we were getting the christmas tree ready so we put him on the top while I went to buy his reptarium and supplies. I'll post an updated pic of him soon.
I recently bought a new 65 gallon reptarium and am planning on buying two sub-adult jackson's females. The question is, with the proper plants and multiple drippers can I house the two of them together or will I have to buy to separate smaller reptariums for them? Right now I have a male and a...
Sure I can do this
I'm a 21 year old female and I live in New York City.
I am an administrative program aide in the adult services dept. of a non-profit organization.
I'm also a full time student working on my bachelors and majoring in Political Science
And just as an added thing I...
I was having a slightly similar problem with one of my chameleons not too long ago. First of all if it's not eating or drinking make sure that you help him do so. Especially if you have no money for a vet, which you should come up with as soon as humanly possible. Give him a warm shower, out...
I'm planning on going to the upcoming NYC Reptile expo this coming July. I'm wondering if anyone on here knows about any of the breeders and vendors attending because I want to buy some more Jackson's. I don't want to buy from just anyone and wind up getting some wild caught ones, or sickly...
