Never seen these colors before?

Ever considered that your chameleon doesn't want to be with you but just likes her enclosure even less for some reason?

It's very rare chameleons like to be handled and the pictures I've seen of you with your cham, you know the 'playing dead', make it very difficult to believe your chameleon will appreciate that type of handling.

I've stopped doing that and i now realize it was very bad for me to handle him that way. When she was in her other enclosure there is no reason she would've not been happy. It was spacious considering her size, she had alot of moving room and she had places to hide.

Why switch to a ceramic heat emitter at night even if the UVB is on/producing light. You shouldn't have any lights on at night, as this will disturb your chameleon's sleep. Use the ceramic heater at night only if it gets really, reallyyyy (below 45 F) cold in your room.

Okay i'll turn off that light too. The 70 at night is with the ceramic on sadly. My house is old and the heat isn't working at the moment so it gets 40 F in my room

The cage you have her in is inappropriate even though she has MBD. Glass doesn't provide enough airflow and chams are arboreal so having her horizontal is going to stress her out. Put her back in her other cage and line the bottom with towels if you are afraid of her falling.

I'm on it

There's a few thing you need to adjust lights out at night is one .

The other is the glass horizontal enclosure . It won't have enough air flow . Move his stuff lower in his reg enclosure add either a towel or get nets .

No water Bowls they will not add humidity , they will just make it unsanitary .

I'll remove them then. I thought the water would evaporate and that way it would create more humidity

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought spurs were usually on both feet? In the pictures it looks like one doesn't have it at all and the other foot could "maybe" have it. I'm by no means a vet though, I think Slurpy is a girl too. I would be weary of vets that says they have reptile training unless you're a hundred percent positive that they've also specialized in that area. I've heard a lot of stories of vets who didn't actually know what they were doing when it came to reptiles. Again not saying your vet is not a good vet, it's just a good majority of people on here have had chameleons for years and years and years so they would know what's what inside out. You know?

Where do you live that it is that cold

The vet has a chameleon himself, i guess he didn't really check because i was almost positive she was a boy.

• Supplements - I mix a little bit of calcium powder in with his supplements. brand is reptical

Also with supplements you want to have calcium with d3 twice a month and multivitamins twice a month as well.

If MBD is present, then handling may potentially cause more harm/fractures. I hope she gets better.

On the off chance she does lay eggs, is there anyone in the new jersey area willing to take them?

They will not be fertile

 

[phantomchameleon]

They will not be fertile

Then I just toss them? That seems kinda rude but they'll rot anyway. Do they make good compost?

Female chameleons lay eggs weather with a Male or not if she hasn't been with a male they will not be fertile .
