I'm not sure where to post this, I'm sure a mod can fix it for me.
Some of you have already seen the picture I posted of the chameleon at Petco. I called corporate and filed a formal complaint today because both of their male panthers are in desperate need of veterinary care. I've already brought this to the attention of the manager on several occasions during the past couple weeks but to no avail, they are not receiving the care they need.
Any input as to what may be wrong with these little guys? Picture attached. I can give basic info that I have received from the associates there.
Male, around 8 months old. UVB 5.0 has NEVER been changed since installation. Heat bulb undetermined. Small misshapen tank, glass. Roughly 18X14 . 2 males in same tank for 4 months, recently separated.
Diet - med crickets, and tiny meal worms. All left in tank and occasionally only dusted with calcium D3. But have not eaten in over a week.
Urate is slightly orange with wet slimy stool. Have not gone to the bathroom in over a week.
Humidity range 40-60 Heat 85-90. (Zoo med gauges attached to side of tank toward top.)
Fogger for humidity. Standing water bowl.
Never handled, very angry temperament.
I know it's not a very good picture, but that's the best I could do. Also, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place or if it is an inappropriate post. I just want to make sure they are being taken care of properly.
