Hi Topaz! Ohhhhhhh my goodness! Soooooo cute!

 

[CasqueAbove]

Remember to get your husbandry reviewed so she can have her best chance.

This is a good forum with actual experts, Vets, researchers, and 30+ year chameleon keepers. Glad you are here.
To get you started


Here is some recommended information to include when asking for help in the health clinic forum. By providing this information you will receive more accurate and beneficial responses. It might not be necessary to answer all these questions, but the more you provide the better. Please remember that even the most knowledgeable person can only guess at what your problem may be. Only an experienced reptile veterinarian who can directly examine your animal can give a true diagnosis of your chameleon's health.


Chameleon Info:

• Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?

• Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
• History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.

Cage Info:

• Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
• Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
• Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
• Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?
• Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
• Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
• Location - Where are you geographically located?

Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.

Please Note:

1. The more details you provide the better and more accurate help you will receive.
2. Photos can be very helpful.

You did take that as pure honest right, I reread and it sounded odd, but was a complement.

I know that and thank you... I tend to see things in images that don't always get caught by others. MBD I just happen to recognize more then I would like to.
