We were zombies!! We even made about $50 in tips from people who wanted pictures with us, so it was pretty awesome.

There whole bodies will turn a pinkish sherbert color. You will know when you see it.

Sounds like a bruise. I have never had a chams tail stay black after bloodwork or shots. Who told you it would stay that way?

They are indeed two different medications. The only problem I have recommending terramycin to someone inexperienced in using it is that it can build up under the eyelid. Gentamycin is a drop and will not build up and get all gooey under the eyelid like terramycin can. It is usually also given...

Bah hahaha haha...I almost spit up my pepsi on my keyboard!!

We are in Las Vegas

It's also a lot easier to clean if you break it down into flat pieces and use a heavy duty scrub brush on it...I like to do it in the bathtub. If you decide to go with a strong cleaner such as hydrogen peroxide or a bleach/water solution make sure you rinse it VERY well. I also let it dry out...

As Kinyonga has said, any vet can do the test you need. I would ask the vet to do a culture and sensitivity test for both bacteria and fungus. The vet should take a swab and rub it on the infected skin. They will then send it to a lab, or do it at their own office if they have the proper...

He's a cutie!! A few things I recommend. I don't use clear containers for feeding dishes, you do not want them to shoot their tongue at the outside of the bowl and hurt themselves. Also, know the pothos, ficus, and schefflera are safe plants in his cage, but I cant tell you for sure about...

Were all three being housed together originally and you have since moved her? I am a little confused about the total picture.

That is absolutely untrue. They can show those unreceptive colors without ever being bred.

Like I said before, Gorman is notorious for this type of stuff. She is definitely the type of vet that throws meds at her patients without a proper explanation...trying to get one is like pulling teeth (for me anyway). I would give Kolmstetter a call for a second opinion. I would also wait...

As others have said, keep the tissue moist. KY Jelly is a much better lubricant than vaseline.

There is another vet I have gone to a few times. She seems to have as much knowledge on chams as Gorman does. Dr. Kolmstetter at Cheyenne West. The phone # is 702)395-1800.

I go to Gorman...she is the best in Vegas, but not very good in my opinion. She has basic knowledge, but doesn't seem to have a whole lot of personal experience to draw from. In all the times I've been there she has never once been able to tell me anything I did not already know :( I doubt...
