I took her to the vet and had to put her down this morning....:(
I never realized how attached I was to her. At least she's not suffering anymore...
I want to thank everyone that helped me through this, everyone has been a great help. I feel like I tried my hardest but I also feel like I...
It sounds like he may be sick and you should probably see a vet.
You should also fill out the form from here https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ so everyone here will know your husbandry.
Called the vet last Monday, got the receptionist. She said the doctor was unable to come to the phone when I called, but she did say again that chams can go several months with egg and be fine. So I left a message and a number for him to call me back. No returned call...:mad:
She's has seemed...
The container shes in is a clear container, but there's a towel around it 75% of so nobody can see her when when she's down on the ground unless they stand above the container and look down. She does have a stick in there for climbing that reaches above the height of the towel so she can see...
Hmm still no eggs yet.
I never pointed her in the direction of the tunnel I made, but I have seen her on the ground the past few days so I'm sure she has seen it. She seems to be back to her normal self and is also back to eating. She hasn't dug any holes since her last hole collapsed. I've...
Instead of substrate, I have several layers of cheep washcloths on the bottom of mine to help soak up the water dripping off my plants and to help the humidity. I just keep rotating them out and washing them. It seems to work pretty good.
ok I'll try that and see if she will go back to digging. I wasn't sure of they would actually lay their eggs in something that isn't theirs.
EDIT- Should I try to point her to the tunnel or should I just let her find it? Or will this just freak her out? I'm afraid if I let her find it, she...
Yesterday and today, she hasn't dug at all. He most recent hole has collapsed and hasn't done anything since. I contacted my vet for any suggestions and about how long before it's too long. He said that chameleons can go amazing lengths of time with eggs in them and still be fine. He also...
last night after she fell asleep I carefully put a towel around the outside of her tank to prevent any visual access (it's clear plastic).
How will I know when she is done? I don't want to go snooping around to try to see whats going on, but I also don't want to neglect her like I said in my...
Ok, thank you. I didn't want to neglect her by not giving her anything but I also didn't want to disturb her by giving her something.
From what I see so far, this forum is a wonderful place!
So are you saying to not supply water and calcium during this process?? I've never got a definite answer on this question. Everything that I have read has said water and calcium are very important during this process, and if it is, how is it done?
