The vet ran two, one on a fresh sample from home and a second a week later from a cloacal swab. Unfortunately since posting this our Cham’s health has taken a turn. While there was no sign of parasites, an abundance of bacteria was found in the last stool sample. He’s been refusing to drink or...

I’ve FINALLY gotten an all-clear after Neelix had to be treated for Coccidia and roundworm, and have time today to replace the current (very sad) hospital setup with a proper, bio-active, plant-populated/dragon-stranded enclosure. This is my first Cham and all this came about within a couple of...

Aaaand we have our first bowel movement since arriving home! 😅 looks good to me? But long as we’re here figured I’d post what I could see for anyone with sharper eyes. Quite moist, mostly light brown, and just some urates that appear mostly white (he seems to have rubbed some of the urates off...

Here’s an exciting update: Neelix is fully moved in and already seems to be adjusting well to his new digs! Loving his basking branch and wandering his new space. I have a Wyze camera looking through the top of his screen, I’ve deactivated the spot light and IR sensors in case he has any...

Thank you for weighing in on this! We’ll see how our setup does with typical misting. Happy to say he’s having his first night in a proper enclosure, looking forward to sharing more of his journey in a non-clinic thread! 💚

Progress! Feeling good about the structure, but would love any feedback. Going to be starting to reintroduce plants here soon.

Hey gang! I decided to pick up some 24”x36” sheets of coroplast (corrugated plastic) with the thought of lining two interior walls with it or, alternatively, cutting and bending them to adhere to the corners to prevent our branches/twigs from piercing the mesh. Does anyone have experience with...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I can’t wait to share and learn more with the community y’all have here 🤗

Thank you for double checking! Yes it’s surprising just how prolific this particular kit is. The person we consulted with actually sent us to Reptifiles.com, explaining that all of the staff are trained on the care sheets from that site. I’m reading up myself and feeling good about the...

It is a 24x24x48" mesh enclosure. I also misreported the current enclosure's size. The one he was originally sent home in was 18x18x24.

Quick update: we found a shop about 1.5 hours away that will set us up with everything Neelix needs tomorrow! They've set aside a nearly identical kit to Neptune's Advanced Kit for us. They've also been extremely supportive and willing to guide us through everything we've been concerned about...

Thank you so much for offering your support! We named him Neelix, after a beloved Star Trek character.

I have some additional photos here that hopefully give you a better angle of his legs. Additionally, I have a smaller enclosure without chips or a begonia that I’m considering putting him into in the interim. I’d clean out the current plant and just move some of the sticks / claimable from his...

Thank you so much, for all of this - we'll move to remove the begonia. I'm very thankful to have you and others guiding us down the best path here.

Firstly, thank you SO much for making this such a welcoming and kind arrival to this community. It’s just what I needed after an anxious start to this journey. Likewise, thank you for the additional help, @Yonmerkaba <3 Yes, I would love any guidance on vet recommendations. I realize I was too...

Was excited to bring our new Cham home (first Cham for us), but we’re unsure about his current health and how he was cared for by the reptile shop we got him from. Here’s what I’m noticing: He still has quite a few skin flakes left from his last shed (haven’t confirmed how long ago this one...
