Oh man, I just got a reply. The seller will replace him. I’m so happy but sad at the time. And also hate the term replacement, as this is not an object 😢 I will want to talk to you all and make sure my set up is right before we get him.
Thank you for your honest answers. I did contact the seller. He lives in my area. I just feel like I will not get a positive return as I saw a Yelp review of someone asking for a replacement but he got ignored. But I will keep you updated on the outcome.
In term of the set up, this was a...
Also wanted to add that since we got him, he was all the time shutting down. What fell weird but we were thinking it was because of the stress of a new environment. I mean I’m sure it was a reason too, but being a newbie with minimum knowledge is not helping.
I did what you said, placed under...
Thank you. And thank you for being super responsive and helpful.
He did regained a bit of color. So like you said, if he is not done he is probably very close.
Just feeling very sad now.
I’m trying to piece all the parts together and see if it is worth engaging with the seller. So I have a...
Went to check, as I was looking at him, he fell from a inch into the feeder. He was struggling to get on his feet and the bugs were bothering going above him. So I put him to the bottom branch, came back 20 minutes later and he is almost all black. He seems to be dead but I’m not sure 😢😭 I don’t...
I was leaving it the same time than the lights : 12 hours.
Went to check on him, his mouth was now opened on and off. Heat lamp still off.
Here is the picture of how I raised the light (obviously temporarily). I will figure something better and not fire hazard 😖
Also a picture of the supplement...
Ok so went back doing all that.
The photo was the current temperature.
The light was probably 3in away from him. Moved it to 7 in.
Also turned of the heat lamp.
Misted a little bit.
I did not hear a popping sound.
He closed his mouth after a few minutes and his color changed to darker
Update : so a hour or two after I plugged back the UVB light bulb. He started moving more, color changed to the lighter.
Then he was opening his mouth on and off with his face looking up. (What he was not doing before).
I kind of “force water “ him, used a small seringue and put drops on his...
hello, I just talk to the breeder and said that I need a UVB in addition of the Arcadia? Is that true? I removed that light bulb pictures below on Tuesday.
I hope I didn’t do anything wrong, I feel so bad now.
I’m going to look at the vet list, what would they do? Can they force feed him?
Handling - 2-4 times since we got him (1 week) to set up his cage
Feeding - he has that suspended feeder you can see on the pictures. But he haven’t been eating out of it (dubias and crickets) we only been able to tong feed him dubias and crickets. 2-4 a day, what seems very low.
Supplements -...
Sorry I thought I mentioned, they say he was 2 months when we got him at the reptile show in San Mateo, CA.
I included a bunch of pictures of the set up where you can see everything. The heat lamp is 60w. Let me include more details in a bit
Hi, this is my first post here.
I for a new panther chameleon and I’m really worry because he is barely eating 2-4 dubias/cricket a day. We got him a week ago now.
Here are some pictures of him now (dark color) and the white is the day we got him.
He seems to be more skinny and it’s stressing...
