Update on Chams Well turns out my male died a week ago today :( I did a necropsy on him and it turns out he had kidney stones and one of the stones ended up getting dislodged and stuck and blocked him up and he passed. It was very quick all happened with in 30 minutes. I just got done...

Thank you and everyone for all the replies. I've pretty much redone their entire cages from lights to substrates. I now soak them twice a day and run my misters for 2 mins 3 times a day and they seem to be doing better, but my female still falls about 3 times a day. So i put her in a smaller...

Do you know how many K it puts out or anything like that?:)

More pictures of her x-rays These are her x-rays from 12/5/2009 These are her x-rays from 2 weeks later 12/22/2009

What light bulbs do you need exactly for the hibiscus (tube? wattage)? Does the light produce excess heat to the cage? What type of hibiscus works best?

what type of bulb do you use exactly (wattage and everything)? Will any tube plant lights work? Do the lights produce a lot of heat? What type of hibiscus plant works best? I really want to put a hibiscus in my enclosure but I dont want it to die!

I use distilled water

The second vet mentioned that all the meds were parobably taking a toll, which is why he took her off most of them. The first vet and first bloodwork wasn't a specific reptile profile so she had a hard time reading it, but the calcium was low which is why she put them on the calcium carbonate...

YIKES!!!!!!:eek: well I'm glad I changed my lights then... what would you recommend for a basking/heat source. I have the reptisun 5.0 18" bulbs in now and I'm using a ceramic heater for now

I just added pics of them to my main post. You can see how dehydrated they look as well as my female's bumps along her spine. I am misting and soaking them twice a day as well as I have a dripper running 24/7 that they can get to in their cages

the main problem with my female is that she is falling almost constantly and I dont want her to fall and hurt herself any worse. and in my male the main problem is that he wont fire his tongue. both are eating and drinking. otherwise they are acting fine

Yeah I have spent over $800 on them in the past month from rads to meds to office visits. I'm at the point where I really cant afford to spend much more, I only want them to get better and I dont know what to do anymore for them. Yeah I have a pan at the bottom of her cage where she could lay...

yeah shes gravid she laid one large clutch last fall. and i have started to treat her feet last week with neosporin and it seems to be helping greatly! Yeah the first vet put her on quite the cocktail and i think it was too much. She was just treating for everything and not narrowing it down...

I have a pair of veiled chameleons that have not been acting right so I took them to the vet in December. My female chameleon has been looking dehydrated for a week or so, has been falling off of her branches, and has bumps along her spine so the vet ran blood-work. She then put her on calcium...

My vet put my chams on baytril and now they both have kidney and liver failure. I don't know what to do now...

I'm redoing my set ups for my veiled chameleons. I have a male and a female both 2 years old housed seperately in two 2'L X 2'W X 4'H screen cages. I want to include as many live plants and vines as possible, can you suggest any that are safe? Also I want to hang some small pots of pothos...

what kind of plant is that?

I would not use mesh! I had a reptarium before I got my aluminum cages and crickets chewed through the mesh and ran free all over my house... not fun!

I have a clutch of veiled chameleon eggs that have been incubating for about 7-8 months now and are due to be hatching very soon. I have had 3 eggs hatch early where the babies still have like a bubble on their belly where they are still getting food through the egg. 2 of the babies died, I...
