Update: after starving him a bit (for one day atm) the casque turned back to normal, and I'm going to get him to vet tomorrow. Moreover, should I wash him with some water and apply the silver sulfadiazine anew?

Okay, ill be cutting that branch. Will the fishing string be alright for hooking the probe correctly?

He often climbs to the top branch and basks in there, but he doesnt try to climb the ceiling ( at least not in order to get more hot, he seemingly tries to screenwalk all over the enclosure) i use a thermometer on a cable, that's located somewhere in between ceiling and the branch, but its...

I raised it a bit more and now, there's at least 15 centimeters between lamp and the surface (around 28 celcius) I'll be of course visiting vet ASAP (unfortunately, they're off for weekends)

I've still got the silver sulfadiazine I got last time my cham had a burn, can it spoil with a time? I received it around a year ago.

I had a suspection that he's just overweight, and I've seen a video on what are the overweight symptomes (including the puffed casque) and I thought it should be gone If I'll reduce his food intake. It took around one day to develop. When it comes to his bubbles on back, it looks like it took...

Hello! Recently I had some issues with my Cham being proparly overhydrated (as his poop was liquid) I've also had some suspections of him being overweight (I was judging only on his big belly, but now the big belly is gone, but instead, there's this weird pumped casque. What threatens me the...

He's flattening his body on the branch just below the ceiling (not always, but that's still an unexpected behavior, if the proper temperature is provided)

Update: Today, He has actually dropped a normally looking feces (If I have written correctly, something may be wrong with them if they're stinky) Moreover, after hanging his lamp a bit higher, to match the required temperature, he often places himself directly nearby his enclosure's ceiling, and...

Corrected, the temps should be fine by now. I also threw out both bamboo sticks, so the rope cording is no longer a problem. As goes for the feces, after a more detailed searching, I've found few of them actually hidden in plant's pot. The problem is they're suspiciously too small (like 1/5-8 of...

Back when I had the 150 Watt lamp it was hanged much higher, making it still around 30-32 Celcius right in the basking spot (it's around 20-30 centimeters below the ceiling) , with the highest temperature notable being 34, right under the ceiling. I check the temperature with thermometer. As...

I'm starting to think the issue is more serious :( He didn't drop a single piece of feces (both urates and food feces) since last friday. He also tends to puff himself without any particular reason (I changed his heat bulb to 100 Wat instead of 150 lately, so I expect him to do it cause he feels...

Okay, I'll just lower down the fogging frequency, and check if his feces get more solid.

That makes sense, I'll try to take a picture as soon as he makes one.

Yeah, vet has checked his feces for bacterias and parasites, but they do seem clear. As goes for the yellow spots, they appeared sometimes, but there was never an orange one. I'm just wondering why are his urates so small if he's well hydrated (well, maybe part of it doesn't get crystalized) And...
