With eyes closing, it seems a common problem amongst chams. As soon as I noticed my cham doing this i upped the misting in the tank and wihtin 2 days took them to the vet, as the sooner the better. Once a cham starts going downhill the decline is quick. 1- there may be something in the...

hi, i know this wasnt one of your initial concerns, but re the bark. I just lost a chameleon, this week, due to what i think was impaction. You cant keep an eye on them 24/7, so you dont really know if they have swallowed a splinter or a whole lump and if there is nothing for them to choke...

After three long weeks of struggle, Carlos passed away. We had his feaces checked and there were no parasite. The cause was/is completely unknown. Thanks for all your help everyone, your support was so valuable during this time x

hi all, sorry fot eh absence, had some issues wiht the internet! Well, carlos is hanging on, in fact we are thingking of renaming him hercules. I am still drip feeding him with whizzed up crickets, waxworms ccf and calcium mixed in water. He seems to go from being a little better...

i just did something similar over the sink, wiht a hand held mister and warm water. I did it for 5 minutes, is that long enough?

Carlos, my male veiled, has many updates on this sight as he has been ill See: (puffy eyes, no pooing, tinned pears?' and 'carlos, life and death' ) He did a green poop today, anyone ever seen that before - does it mean he is getting worse. I havent fed him naything green. thanks

she might be gravid and not using her box, you have to take her to the vets.

I went to see the vet today and they have changed their minds and want to keep him in as he has started to go brown. I am a bit concerned about the tank they have him in, its very basic, with a curly branch in the middle, no leaves, and a lasagne box for him to hide in (which as far as i'm aware...

hi all, the vet rang yesterday and asked if we wanted to ask carlos home. I said to keep him in till monday as he was getting injections for hydration and nursing care. Today she called me and said he opened one of his eyes a little bit for a while, woo hoo! Not out of the woods yet...
