I don't think she's been supplemented at all, nor has she produced any stool or urate since I've had her. The rest of her body looks perfectly normal. Good coloration, no signs of bone disease, etc. But she's clearly not well. I appreciate the tips - I'm reluctant to rack up vet bills, but buying the food and seeing about the correct dosage is doable.
Children are basically just big mammalian chameleons, but still babies are a lot more hardy. I dropped all of mine several times. Didn't even hurt them at all really. They do scream louder than chameleons. Beside that they practically take care of themselves.
I think the most important thing you can do is get her drinking and hydrated. Dehydrated chams stop eating and eventually shut down even if nothing else seems wrong.
I am not trying to be mean, but I have to say that this post is confusing, distracting, and not very helpful for the OP. When someone joins us (especially someone new to chams) very worried and needing immediate help, having to filter past responses like this is frustrating. It may have been meant in fun, but the OP may not understand what part was intended to help and what part was not. It also gives the impression that our forum isn't serious or informed, and that insulting sarcastic behavior is tolerated.
You are not the first person to object to my posting style. But you are incorrect in several of your insinuations. Number one is suggesting that using a lighter tone, which you refer to as sarcasm, is somehow insulting. I believe the true insult to the newbie, as they posted themselves, was no one replied to them. Check the post. You also insulted them by suggesting they don't understand fun. Number two, I understand many old timers who never like change may be upset, that, and this too was mentioned in the Op, there has been a significant influx of new members. People like chameleons. All kinds of people. Lowly common plebes like my self who love chameleons for the sheer curiosity, fun, and amazement of communing with, caring for, and getting to know such a majestic creature as the chameleon. We common folk are often turned of by the pedantic raving of elitist academics in their golden palaces of knowledge
The
first answer the op got was no answer. That's why they complained. And that's why I replied. A playful distraction tinted with ambiguously suggested treatments that may actually be effective is better than nothing. Where were all the experts when OP needed them !? I love all my forum friend even you. never doubt the veiledprophets dedication!!!
