    Just a quick weekend update, Waffles is doing well. She has enjoyed six full size crickets today and is hunting a little more, though still slow and a lot of the crickets are coming to her, which is where she catches them. Still taking her calcium and we bought some extra vitamins. The...

    Thanks, she is doing better it seems. So, we will continue to push and follow through with all the suggestions everyone has been giving us. We will be checking out a few places for the live plants, and see what we can do to increase her humidity this weekend. She has a full screen cage, so...

    Thank you so much for all the information, she is a challenge, but she is ours so I'll do whatever I can to get her healthy. We will be bringing her out to the sun, once we get some sun. The weather has been not so great during the week but it looks like sun for the weekend so getting her out...

    We aren't really sure. Based on her size we were thinking 6 months, she is about 8.5 inches long. Where we got her couldn't say unfortunately. What would the mature colors be? She ranges from a pale green when sleeping, to a darker green during the day and her purplish markings seem to...

    Thank you, that's great advice. Today she is doing pretty well all things considered. She ate five little crickets on her own. I had bought the little ones when she was having trouble with her mouth, and I guess we can keep her on those for a little bit?? She was eating large a few weeks...

    Okay, that's what I kinda thought was going on. So maybe we are on the right track. Eggs are definitely a concern of mine too. I don't want her to have another thing to go through while we get her healthy. That's good to know if that happens it will deplete calcium too. Thank you.

    Yes, she would turn her head and bite things, but didn't seem to have a drive to hunt. This afternoon she started acting a little more like what we would expect.

    She hasn't used her tongue to eat anything in a week and a half. She use to all the time, but hasn't been eating well with everything going on with her.

    Small update- she just ate a cricket on her own. Used her tongue and everything. It's the little accomplishments we are happy with right now.

    It's possible, and i'm sure the UVB light not working like we thought it was didn't help. And we probably made some mistakes. I don't know if it could be pointed to one thing. The chameleon is upsetting if she was sick when we got her, but the light is infuriating to me because it's...

    Yes, very, and up until recently. We got her March 2nd, we noticed the problems with her legs April 16th and she was at the vet April 17th. So, doing the math we have actually had her about 2 months. I'm with her daily and constantly checking on her, so it must have felt longer. She did...

    Repti Calcium by Zoo Med for the crickets. And she came from Pet Smart, one of the NJ locations.

    Hi, yes, she is our first. We just got back from running out and she is currently trying to climb. She also just popped again and peed, and still surprised that it looks healthy from what we have seen healthy stuff should look like. I'll try hand feeding the crickets. We were also thinking...

    Hi, We have had our chameleon, Waffles, for about 3 months now. Easter Sunday we were cleaning her cage and for the first time took her out to do it. It was being out of the cage that we noticed she was having trouble moving like she did. Before that Sunday she always seemed a very active...
