Im sad to report that the chameleon pictured above died just a few mins ago, less than 2 days after I took that photo. I think its likely to be a mixture of the fungal/virus and a lack of food, since the infection she had lost her appetite, but I had seen her still eating. :(

what the heck, here are two images. The left side is the before photo, and the right side is the after photo. I've also uploaded a higher resolution for anyone who wanted to take a closer look Here In the new photos, ive just gave her a rubbing down with cream :) So far, I am happy...

Like Sandra, the skin infection got worse before it started to get any better. I have exactly the same thing with exactly the same symptons. They will tend to eat less and drink more. You need to ensure they're drinking as much as possible, Im showering every day and bathing every day at the...

does anyone know if these are available in the UK?

Thanks for the info guys. I will carry on using either the Beaphar (it seemed to clear it initially), if its no different in a few days, I will look at using the Betadine ointment Ive just ordered. I will post some pics up and keep you updated.

How long is she being sprayed for? They will often take a few minutes to be stimulated enough to want to drink.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but it looked exactly like what my female had right at the early stages. Since then, its spread very quickly. Id jump on that very quickly before it gets any worse :(

Around 2 months ago, my cham had some type of skin issue under her kneck. It was only a small area around the size of a small coin. Pics of this can be seen here: aside from this brown skin, you can see she appeared to be really healthy looking. I spoke to a number of people who all...

does anyone use any kind of heat matt, or just a naturally warm room? I have a room with two PCs, and two cham cages, so the room is really warm anyway.

I have had my own colony now for about 2-3 weeks. I bought a colony from ebay, which was around 150 roaches. There was around 10/15 adults (mainly females) and a few males. You should feed off the males to your chams, but try to keep one male for every four females. I cant say whether or not...

Thats one of the best suggestions yet! This inturn will allow you place ALL your lights (and tubular UVB lamp) on the top, making misting safer and creating a more natural air flow through the cage.

Does anyone have any specific details for feeding the dubia? I have started my own small colony and would like to feed my chams from them. I understand it may take a month or so before I can actually get to that stage, but I have the patience. Any info is greatly appreciated, i.e What to...

I would personally drill a large hole in the top and place your bulb on the top of the cage. If you keep all your lights out of the cage, you could put vines from opposite corners to corner. If you happen to mist your bulb for more than a few seconds with water, the bulb will explode, and as...

I was actually glad to see my mistings isnt too different from anyone elses :) 9am- 2 mins (1 hour after lights on) noon- 2 mins 3pm- 5 mins 6pm- 5 mins

I've found that they actually take some time to get stimulated enough by the misting to drink. Try misting him for 5/10 mins :)
