    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    I will continue to look into the cherry. I have a few in my backyard, so it would be nice if it worked out. It's not a common branch to use, though. I've found a few threads that have some information, but nobody is really sure. I live in Calgary Canada so I might be able to get my hands on a...

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    I see, I would feel bad putting him in a fairly bare-bones enclosure when his fancy mansion is sitting so close haha! It sure would be handy to have if he ever got sick though. I will have to look into a second enclosure 😁 How would I go about sanitizing branches I collect from my area? They...

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    That is an excellent idea! How do you go about setting up a sterile cage? Are the parameters (2x2x4 ft) the same? I assume it will be bare bottom and I can transfer my other husbandry items like water systems, feeding and supplementation and whatnot.

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    Thank you so much! Currently removing everything from the e nclosure then I will likely take ti apart and use the hydrogen peroxide method to disinfect! Looks like I should be on the lookout for a table while I get some new branches. I will post new pics of the enclosure once I have it set up! I...

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    Ah shoot, Ricky did have diarrhea. You're right we have no idea what could have caused the illness he have so it's entirely possible. OK, I don't suppose there's any way for me to keep what I have then. I do not want to cheap out and infect this new cham. Luckily I can still reuse the mistking...

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    Hi everyone! I have made a previous post in the health clinic over my issues with my previous cham Ricky. Sadly he did not make it and we never found out what was making him ill. I will be trying one more time to go through all of the proper channels instead of a reptile expo. I also want to...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    Absolutely, I have a steamer at the ready and I will be removing lots of plant material. I do really want to find a breeder next time but I do not know of any in my area. Im going to keep a lookout. Ill be making another post for a husbandry review before I do much else.

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    I am very sad to say that Ricky did not make it. Shortly after the vet he stopped drinking water and became very dehydrated. I noticed right away and started syringe-feeding him and syringe-watering him. Last night he fell from his branch while I was away and I found him in the soil. I do wonder...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    I kept calling the vet and they had a cancellation! got him in today. Her main note was that he was dehydrated, which surprised me because I've seen him drinking but I think I will increase his levels of misting and dripper time in the morning, it is very dry here. She gave him fluids to remedy...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    Update: He seems to be perking up and enthusiastic about his water. I have not seen him close his eyes yet today and he is a bit more mobile. He also seems to be brighter while basking but I'm not sure if that's just the light. Still not eating much (or at least I'm not seeing him eat), and he...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    Found a fresh poop from Ricky this afternoon, wish my appointment was tomorrow because these suckers can be hard to spot! My concern is that his urates are smearing on plants, I'm not sure what to think about that. His poor pooping spot looks like a disaster. I also had a look at him and his...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    Oh my goodness! You guys are fantastic!! I'm switching off those colored lights right now. Originally my UBV was 4 inches from the top and the top was 4 inches from the basking branch. I am going to lower it and stop using that supplement right away. In 1 month I will have the Jackson label, for...

    Chameleon closed eyes during the day

    I just spotted Ricky with his eyes closed during the day, he has never done this before and he opened them right after I noticed but I'm still concerned. He has been eating less than usual but crickets can escape and he is still pooping so I figured he was eating when I was not watching. He is...
