So, we woke up this morning and turned on our male's lights. A few hours later, came in to find his hemi-penis prolapsed. He's never been with a female. We've soaked in warm sugar water, and used vaseline and anti-biotic ointment on it. When I take him to the vet on Monday(if it doesn't go in by tomorrow which I doubt it will), what will they be able to do other than surgury? We're keeping it moist and keeping his light off for now so he doesn't move around and rub it on the vines. It looks very strange, like it's full of clear fluid. I'm a little curious what could have caused this.
He's a Nosy Mitsio, approx. 3.5 years old
In a large screen cage
Drip system for water
No live plants, just bendi-vines and plastic plants (he's had them for years now)
Mist 2-3 times a day
Fed 4 calcium coated crickets every other day
Fed 4 multi-vitamin covered supers on the off days of crickets
Heat lamp (98 F hot spot, 73F cool areas)
UVB rating 12 repti-sun
handled rarely
never bred, don't have any other chameleons
Thanks,
Mallorie
