I am writing this on my phone so I will have to post the pictures when I get home later tonight, but I will post at least 2 for each issue. I'll also fill out that form. I'm just worried and want to get started helping soon.
I just bought a supposed 1 year old male veiled chameleon from some one in Eastern Oregon which is a desert climate for the most part. They housed the fellow in a 55gal or larger tank with the normal eco soil you get anywhere. He was obviously not being watered properly as there was a bowl of water in his cage with dirt and cricket remains. The had a heat lamp on him so I'm sure his cage was at least 90 with zero humidity at all times. They fed him crickets only and would dump a bag in his tank once every couple weeks.
His skin is very dry, I think I can fix this.
His eyes are very swollen and I saw him press one up against the glass and it looked very sick! I think he can still see out of both eyes with one questionable.
He has that bump on his head indicating a sinus infection. He has white yellow crust around his nostrils.
He is active and seems friendly. I will put him in a new home and make sure he is good tonight but I need advice on the rest of his issues as I want to bring him back to health no matter what even if it requires surgery. Thanks for any help!
