Igor passed :( Igor passed away a few days after the last post. He looked like he was doing a lot better and then one morning he took a turn for the worst and it was only a matter of a couple hours and he was gone. The vet is stumped and so am I. I have not been able to post for a while...

Thanks for the advice. The vet had said it would be better to go with garage temps, but I trust this forum a little more for advice. I will move him. He is not looking good right now and did not respond to the shower and is not taking the pedialyte. One thing I noticed, which I never have...

mistking has a good reputation, but they are not the only brand out there. :)

Update on igor I just got back from the vet. She was very gracious and took me before her first appointment. It turns out that she owns several Jacksons among other herps. She seemed pretty knowledgeable about chams and was telling me all about the recent breeder show in Daytona. Anyway, she...

Do not worry about the comment. I do see what you mean. I was able to get some pedialyte in him. Once I put him into the shower again, he was trying to drink a bit and I shot some in on a few occasions. The bad news is that for the last 15-20 minutes he has be keeping his mouth slightly, almost...

The urates have been gooey in texture, though I did not physically touch them, and the color has been mixed with a rust/yellow color. My UVB source is fine. It is a repti-sun 5.0. In over ten years of keeping herps, including chams, this has always worked great. Repti-glow, however, is bad news.

I am taking a "chance" because I am just showing up and hoping she will see me. She is booked for two weeks they said. There is no other vet in the area that sees "exotic animals". I am fully aware of the obligation. You obviously did not understand my post. He is refusing to open his mouth...

THANKS. I am leaving now to get some. He is out of the heat. I hope the vet will see me tomorrow. Chances are she will not. I am taking a huge chance. Thanks again.

NO heat at all??

I banged this out quick anyway. Cage Info: Cage Type - aluminum 4x2x2 Lighting - repti glo 5.0 on 1/2 hour after heat for 12 hrs. Incandescent spot light. Temperature -temps range from 80-85(close to bottom) -95ish (just under basking spot). I use a digital thermometer (with probe) and...

Thank you so much for the posts. I have been unable to reply until now. Unfortunately the only vet in the area who is experienced to see chams (and who sees them at all) is not in until tomorrow and is booked up for a couple weeks. They said I could come tomorrow morning (early) and hope that...

His urates are not completely white, but have a little yellow/orange in them. He did poop out a circular weird looking thing, but I passed it off as a strangely shaped sperm plug. If it helps, every time the mister goes on, he goes back to his normal coloration.

I had posted something the other day about my cham's eyes beginning to sink suddenly. I only received one reply, so I am hoping these pics will help others offer some advice. In addition to the eyes, his color has totally changed. It is becoming very pale/light like it does when he goes to...

Thank you. I know this already, but was not sure if something else could be causing the deaths.

I found some weird type of caterpiller (but not) bugs in my dubia tote, along with a couple beetles. Firstly, how did they get there??!!! Secondly, can they harm my dubies? I know it is kind of worthless to ask without pics, but I dont have the means to take some right now. Has anyone else...
