Sounds good, I do have an exotic vet that can help. Thank you!

I will try this!

Are these photos good enough? Sorry he’s really hiding in there so they’re probably not the best. Let me know if you need better photos

Interesting, I was thinking he was consistently too cold so I actually put a second heat lamp on to keep temps up. The ambient temp in my house is about 68. I’ll try turning off the second bulb to see if that makes him feel better. In terms of his eyes being sunken in, I think it might have...

Hello! Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed that my male panther doesn’t want to bask for some reason, which then makes him too cold (dark colors). He’s still eating but I can tell he’s not 100%. Pictures attached of the ambient temp, basking branch, and him hiding in the plants. The ambient...

The black spots aren’t new, he’s had them forever and I think they’re a discoloration from the breeder. Thanks for the note about overheating! Will turn it back down.

For reference, these were his colors when I thought he was too cold

It’s been getting colder during the day (I live in Southern California so “cold” means my house is about 65-68 degrees), so I thought my panther might be cold. I previously had a 75W Zilla Day Light White basking bulb. With that, the basking branch got about 78 degrees and the chameleon’s body...

I do believe the paint we are using is low VOC but I’ll check on that

Sounds good, thank you!

Hey all! I will be painting the room my Cham lives in and am thinking about what to do with him to keep him safe. Which option do you think is best? - put his enclosure in the laundry room (not being painted, but close to the room/hallway being painted. No window) - buy a smaller temporary...

I will! Thank you so much for your help! He’s already feeling a lot better since I put that new branch closer to the light. His eyes are much more responsive and his color is looking better

I also finally bite the bullet and got a solarmeter! So I can know for sure.

Yeah I think our temps will be fine here to bring him outside in the sun. I brought him outside last summer/fall when it was warmer! So he’s semi-used to it although it’s been a few months. Good news, since I put that new branch in there he is perking up a bit so hopefully it was that! He is...

Also, should I increase the frequency of the multi vitamin if he is lacking in the nutrients that come from the UVB?

Ok thank you, I just moved him to a higher branch, we will see how it does up there. Is it worth taking him outside in the sun? I know that’s not really the same as the UVB bulb but maybe do that this week until he feels better?

And would this cause him to act like this kind of suddenly? He has been fine until yesterday

Ok I will ask my vet about this, thank you

Got it! So if that’s the case, what should I do as soon as possible (besides raising the basking branch?

The exact multi is the one in this video:
