The pump is stronger I think for the ultimate, but the nozzles are the same.

Chams are super addicting, that's a given. :) If you plan to get more, then id say go for the ultimate mistking pump. but like I said, the basic runs ten nozzles.

What is her basking temp? For the most part, she looks fine. she is of breeding size and sexual maturity, as from the blue spots on her. so I hope you have a laying bin set up at all times for her to access.

Both mistking and Aquazamp are the two preferred auto misters on this forum. If you are referring to the basic mistking to the ultimate mistking for example, then that's up to what you own, and want to spend. I have the ultimate mistking, but I run 7 cages off that. the ultimate can handle...

We would have to see photos to know anything

can you post photos please?

You can go with the slightly smaller cage if you need to. A cage that tiny bit smaller will NOT stress your cham out, or shorten his life span. While Bigger is ideally always better, you need to worry more about height than width. I recommend using the bigger cage, as some males are...

You need to remove that red bulb and just use regular bulbs for basking. Lights on at sunrise, lights off at sunset is the typical schedule please read the care sheet on here for panthers, and if you follow everything it says, you will have a happy and healthy chameleon.

for the most part, you wont see a cham drink, unless its a montane species, that drinks water all the time. The eye sunken thing, while technically correct, is not the best way to tell, because some chams will pull their turrets in when stressed or angry. the Best and most accurate way is...

If the tongue is damaged like that, most likely the vet will need to amputate it. but don't worry, chams can live just fine without their tongues. several members on here have or had chams without tongues, including myself.

do you keep lights on at night? Is 77 your basking temp? can you fill and post the how to ask for help form please?

As they said, it does appear to be an abcess, and requires a vet to fix it. also, are you using a red light?

OK a few things. How often do you mist? Food- you need fruit flies and pinhead crickets to feed. offer those, and im sure it will start eating. fecal- you take a poo to a vet to test for parasites. what type of cage? height, dimensions, etc? Pics of everything would be great...

Fill this out please https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ Also, try getting fruit flies, which you can get from petco, in jars to feed, as a baby that small is too small for most bugs. pinhead crickets are good too, but you primarily have to buy those online

Wrap your cage in warm blankets. If its just a few hours, or even a day, its not a big deal. if its going to be longer, you can either A- pack them in a box to sleep it away. or B- move them to a house with power. I ran a hot shower and placed cages 1 at a time int he bathroom for...
