Thank you for the advice. I tested my arcadia bulb from another reptile enclosure. Now reading 4.5 to 3.9. Have new arcadia bulbs on order and will be switching away from reptisun.

Does any put their uvb lighting inside the enclosure? Currently have mine on top but am getting only a 2.0 reading through the mesh with sticks about 8 inches from top. Bulb is a t5 ho 5% about 3 months old.

Is it better to use distilled or purified water in misting and fogging? Or does it not matter?

Final news: just got the call and the fecal test came back normal.

All is well ftom the vet visit. I guess I am going to be known as the helicopter chameleon mom. But my vet did say that there is nothing wrong with being vigilant. In addition, a fecal test is being done. Oh and my baby boy is weighing in nicely at 30 grams the vet said.

Thank you for responding. I have personally discussed this with Steve H from The Chameleon Enthuasists Facebook page and a member here. We have worked out my next steps, my concerns and made some adjustments. I will be contacting and seeing a vet tomorrow. I will work on filling out the above...

Thank you.

Here we go

I got him from a friend who got him for me from a local breeder. He was born in November. He has been raised on only crickets, but I want to vary proper gutloaded insects that are good for him. I am using a feeder on the screen from FramsChams and not just letting free bugs in his cage as the...

He had more but dubia are new for him. I can increase his crickets

Thank you, I will collect tomorrow's or Monday's fecal. His appointment is at 4. I have found one fecal and the above picture since he came home on Tuesday evening. He is eating 6-8 crickets and dubias daily and drinking. And on Wednesday he had two superworms.

I am planning to. Do I just put in a napkin in a baggie? I want what is best for him as well. He seems to be thriving in this fresh environment.

Though some discouraged the idea, I got my 4-5 month male this week. My female is the hatchling. They are both doing well and have a wellness vet appointment for him on Monday. I was just curious.
