Thanks for the heads up. My guy used to love butter worms, wax worms and super worms (that's what they carry at the pet store), but now he's almost completely off them... silk worms too, actually, he won't touch those anymore... so he's just eating crickets right now (and even then with less...

What about them? could a cham eat earthwroms? I'm thinking like the bait worm nightcrawlers. Anyone tried these?

lol "They also tried to plug the UV bulb into the chameleon's mouth..." good job tho.

No need to be sorry, I'm looking for advice so the next one stays healthy! You mean a whole of room humidifier, or can you get humidifiers that just keep the enclosure humid?

You know what, you might be right. The humidity in there was getting pretty low actually, around 40% (somehow my new place is much drier than my old place; I used to have the humidity up around 60% generally). THis was before the heat light was added. The addition of the heat light didn't...

Good point, but I thought that was only if there were stones and sticks in it? Hmm. Why would chameleons eat soil if it was completely unnatural to do so?

Is it necessarily bad for the chameleon to eat the soil?

Lol omg nsfw!

RIP lil buddy. Anyways, the parasite medicine the doc gave him didn't really seem to help at all. I was wondering if maybe he was blocked up but the doc didn't catch it, so I cut him open to take a look post mortem. Everything looked okay from what I could see, except that the intestine was...

His mouth isn't usually open. It was only open when I found him upside down. There's no substrate in the cage but I have two potted plants in there. I repotted them in organic soil (no vermiculite). No fertilizers, no pesticides. One is a schefflera (I had a big leaf schefflera but then...

-no UV on at night -the cham was drinking. he drank earlier today. -I don't think he was too hot. he was moving up to the heat and away from it at various point. -I put the heat lamp in there because I checked the temp at night and it was dropping below 20, around 15-18. -no dripper...

No, no culture/sensitivity tests were done to my knowledge. The vet did ask me to bring a poo sample in, and he gave me a little bottle with some water in it to put the poo it. But he hasn't pooed.

Oy... A bit bummed out about this one actually. We moved about three weeks ago. I noticed about two weeks ago that Killa wasn't eating much and hadn't pooped in a bit. I figured it was just the stress and the move etc., but I wasn't too worried. He'd stopped pooping for a while before...

Since December, and 1/4" I kept him in a smaller enclosure when he was a baby, so this one has only been 'active' since around April. That sucks about the warping, do you know what causes it? Maybe I can try and take steps to prevent it. The cool thing about the enclosure is it's...

The two domes are basking lights. I only have the one on these days cause it's pretty warm out, but I can turn the other one on to keep the enclosure warmer when it's chilly. There's a 24" 20w 5.0 UVB tube light under the half-assed hood sitting on the top, to the left of the enclosure...
