Such beautiful pics. He was beyond handsome. I'm so sorry for your loss. They really do touch your heart, don't they...

NITRO 11/15/2011 - 9/16/2016 I will miss you in my life. You truly touched my heart. My friend Nitro took his last breath this morning. I still remember the day he arrived into my life. I posted my excitement that day, and updates on him in a thread here on the Chameleon forums...

Thank you jannb. :-)

With the vet closed today and tomorrow, this guy is my patient for the next two days. He was really good about taking his critical care this morning. :)

The x-ray is something we discussed doing after he recovers from being so thin and dehydrated. His blood panel showed his kidneys could be having issues. She wants to get him hydrated and retest. His eyes are still sunken in even with two days of baths and saline injections. I have him in...

Thank you jannb. Not yet on the x-rays. She just did the tests on his legs, where she said he reacted normally. What was strange was the first day the back end of his body was black, while the front half was colorful. Made me wonder if he had paralysis or something. That has improved now...

Just wanted to give an update. Nitro is still not using his back legs, therefore can't walk on vines or branches. Pretty much just stays wherever he's put. He's going to the vet everyday for a saline solution injected into his abdomen, and they feed him critical care by syringe. I'm giving him...

Thank you Decadancin.

He's not doing well this morning. He was on the bottom of his cage on his side when I woke up. His eyes are very sunken in. I got some water in him by holding his tail end up while he gripped the branch with his front arms. He seems to have no use of his back legs. This all came out of no...

Thank you jannb, you give me hope. I'll call his vet in the morning.

Thanks for your answers everyone. I'm just worried about him now. I found him hanging from his front mitts three times today. He doesn't seem to have any strength in his back legs anymore and can't get around the cage. He looks thin and dehydrated, probably from not being able to get around...

I was wondering if those who have had Chams for their full lives have had to make adjustments in their enclosures later in life? Nitro is going to be 5 years old in a few months and he just doesn't seem to have the strength anymore to get around his cage like he used to. Sometimes I find him...

Amazing photo! The same thing happened to me when I had my panther outside before. The hummingbird flew right in front of him and hovered. Instead of thinking to take a pic, I sat there and said to myself "oh no...oh no"!!! haha Luckily the outcome was the same as yours. :-)

This is Nitro, my 3.5 year old Male Panther Chameleon that weighed in at 294 grams at the vet the other day. I have never seen another Panther Chameleon in person, so not sure how big he looks compared to others. I didn't know how to get a pic to show his size either, so here he is outside on...

I don't have any current pics of Nitro, but I will get some over the next couple days and post to this thread. :-)

Thanks for some feedback guys. I thought I had read a large adult male panther was 250g. I took my Nitro to the vet when I posted this and he weighed 294g. He is from Sire "14K" and I expected him to be large, but it appears he's a beast. ;-) He's 3.5 years old.

What is the weight of your adult male Panther Chameleons?

Thank you ataraxia. I SPECIFICALLY said it's not strange the things we do to care for our animals, I spend hours a day taking care of mine. Would you like me to go into detail about changing 30 bird bowls a day? lol Seriously, their water bowls are disgusting after 24 hours. :-) I have...

You definitely have your hands full. But aren't they all so cute!!!!

All these Veiled Chameleons are gorgeous! Makes me want one. ;-)
