My grandfather actually. It's unfortunate because I'm away at school and my grandparents are watching the chameleon for the month. They are young grandparents and very capable of caring for her, they know all about feeding her and supplementing and humidity, water, etc. But they couldn't stay...

This morning her tongue was competely dried so we cut it at the filament. :eek: I'm in awe. But she is so happy now. She is running around like normal. I read that they can learn to eat without their tongues? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Well she's in her cage now with the lights off and she is sleeping. Her tongue is still extended but at least she is calm. She was getting very agitated and stressed by all the activity. Her tongue does not seem to bother her, she seems unaware of it. Poor baby. Obviously something is very...

The bulb is 3 months old and she gets both cal w/o d3 every other feed with cal w/ d3 once every 2 weeks

It's 8:40pm at night. I highly doubt theres an emergency vet for reptiles in my area but I will look. What if I can't get her in until first thing in the morning? What do I do with her for the night? To keep it moist..

Nala has been fine. Getting all your vitamins and minerals, eating normally, fine temperature, humidity, etc etc etc. She was fine this afternoon and then 30minutes ago her tongue started to hang all the way out of her mouth. There is absolutely no sign of irritation, a bite, infection...

I will take her into a vet, I had no idea there could be so many things wrong with her tongue. It looks fine, there is no swelling or obvious irritation around the site of the wound. The inside of her mouth does have a scab on it, she has just about split her face in half by rubbing it on the...

Just wondering, I have the flu

How do I treat that? What can a vet do? Does it heal naturally?

She can now open her mouth but she's being odd....granted she did fall 4ft onto tile two weeks ago....but is there any reason a chameleon would not use their tongue to catch food? She keeps going up to crickets and opening her mouth at them and trying to scoop them up. That obviously won't...

I have several branches at different levels right under the basking light which rests on the screen top of the cage. My cham will pick the one she wants to be on and where she will chill on it depending on how much heat she wants. She can lay anywhere from maybe 2 or 3in from the screen to 10"...

She rubbed her face on the screen of her cage a couple months ago. I lined the cage with poultry fencing but moved her for a weekend a couple weeks ago into a cage with no fencing and she rubbed her snout raw on the screen. The scab is healing but she is chasing crickets by getting as close to...

Looks great! Can't wait to see them!

I don't have an auto-mister, I just got my carpet and have only had her a couple months but I plan on getting a second soon and then will invest in the auto-mister. What kind of air purifier do you have? Same as the humidifier's there are so many options! I really can't wait to see pics of your...

Hey thanks for the feedback. I am trying to maintain about the same humidity as you, trying to keep it more towards 80%. I just moved to the mountains in central PA and with the season getting colder it is getting really dry, it just happened yesterday. I wokeup this morning to 38% humidity! I...
