Edema?

[ajs]

Edema was seemingly resolved, but I have noticed it when he sleeps still and looked especially bad tonight:

But, this was him about an hour prior to that:

And a couple days ago:

Has anyone else noticed something similar to this with their cham?

It's been over a month, and I have began giving supplements again as it seemingly was resolved (repticalcium every feeding and LoD 1-2 times per week)

Did he get his LoD yesterday? It gave my veiled eye and gular edema when I used it daily, but she was okay when I gave it just twice a month. Some others have also noticed edema in their chams presumably from LoD.

I didnt give him LoD yesterday. I think the last time was 3-4 days ago

Ok. It was just a thought.

Ok. It was just a thought.

If I lessened to twice a month, would I need another multivitamin?

I've been thinking about making the switch to earth pro A, although its sold out in a lot of places and like $30 shipping in the once place I could find

You are "over vitamining" thats the problem to begin with. Most chams over over supplimented, not under. In a perfect world, your feeder selection and gut load is enough. The vitamins a few times a month is "insurance". But that is why its only once or twice a month, incase you are oversupplimenting.

Honestly i do not give my chams any vitamins. I put the vitamins in the dry gut load and hope for the best, and even at that i only vitamin gut load once a month. HERPTIVITE has had a proven track record.

I had been following the advice of my cham vet without thought and a forum member brought it to my attention that I had been over supplementing. There were no visible adverse effects, but I switched over a few weeks ago to Rep Cal without D3 every feeding, Rep Cal with D3 twice a month and Herptivite twice a month.

Thats pretty much what i do, only the manufactures may change

Yeah that was the schedule I had at first. Pretty sure I over dusted the multivitamin at first to start this whole issue. I'll try cutting back the repashy LoD to once every other week.

It's just odd that while he's up and about it looks pretty normal. I only notice it when he sleeps now. I suppose it's just minor enough to only be noticed in certain positions now?

I recently started using repashy superload in addition to the veggies I give my bugs (usually collards, carrots, squash, zucchini, apple cores, ends of bananas)
