Recovery yeah ! So after 2 weeks of soaks in the chlorahexedene and applying neosporin and bactine a few times a day my little guys foot seems all healed up. There is still discoloration and from reading others post Im guessing this may be permanent. I actually think the two of us got a little...

Vet Visit So the Vet I saw seemed very comfratable saying this was only a minor infection at best and that doing soaks and applying Neosporin would probaly be all that is needed. He seemed comfortable with this because I recognized the problem very early and felt sure that I would nurse my...

reply the puss build up was more on the top of the foot not the bottom of his foot . Im soaking it now in a 50/50 h20/ peroxide solution before we go to the vet. I guess it could be that but there was a little blood the day i pulled it so I feel responsible. Ive done it before when hes had a...

The Viv will be awesome Im sure glad you got that viv, Im jelous. I think those vivs look great and function well also. Good idea in limiting height for now untill he gets bigger and more stable. Im sure that youll make sure that he wont be able to burn himself on that light when you grow the...

Distilled or RO Has anyone figured out how to get Distilled water cheap or RO ?

Get another Vet Did you go to vet that specializes in Chameleons. Youre chameleon looks like he has a bad case of MBD and needs special care to recover. More senoir members will chime in here but that vet you went to may not be very good if he told you take your cham home and give him sun. I...

Reptiglo 10.0 You said in your post that your lighting was a reptiglo 10.0, most owners on here recommend using reptisun 5.0 the 18 inch linear bulb.

Awesome He looks great ! Im so jealous Smeeglez is still to young to really fire up like that but seeing your guy gives me something to look forward to

Reconsider waiting You should reconsider waiting to make a vet appointment. It seems to me that he is not in good health at all and really needs a specialists care. Also ask your local herp vet if he knows of any reptile/chameleon owners he could contact for you and have them take a look at...

Sounds Awesome Cant wait to see some pics !
