Gotcha, thank you!

May I ask what the concern is about it being close to the window? This will help me to think about where to better place it. Thanks :)

Good idea about the child safe door! And yup it’s a cool mist

It is right next to a window. It is very well insulated though, with no cold breezes nor drafts from it during the winter. But yes when that was her response to me asking about doing a culture, I was like nope nevermind 🤷‍♀️

Yeah she made it seem like a regular culture wasn’t possible with chameleons for some reason. It’s good to hear that it is in fact possible. I think I’m going to stop the Baytril and make today the last dose (today was his 10th dose). And if it comes back, I will definitely be getting a...

Thank you.. I try! He’s my pride and joy, I’ve been at a loss of words at figuring out why he got sick the first time and now the second time! The only thing in his environment that changed was that I had bought these fake flowers made from a soft flexible plastic for his enclosure from Pangea...

Gotcha, I asked if they could do a culture but she said they would have to fill the lungs with fluid and then test the fluid, is that what your vet would do? The respiratory infection was very minor so I didn’t want to do all that to my little guy. Do you think it’s likely that he never fully...

In your experience, even for a ‘recurrent’ RI, they would still probably recommend a course of 7-10 days?

I am also worried about it maybe not having been fully cleared up from the first time though it was quite a long amount of time with absolutely no symptoms. I’m a clinical lab scientist so I do agree that it’s always best to do the full round of antibiotics but I’m doubting the vets...

Here you go. Flick’s colors have been more muted since starting the Baytril

Ok so I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any stomatitis if that yellow is normal. I do not fog at all, I sometimes use a humidifier (which I clean well) in the room at night and aim it in the cage and it does bump up the night humidity to around 60%. Because of my dog, I unfortunately have to...

•Almost 2 year old male panther ambilobe chameleon •Everyday he gets access to 2 trees that I put next to enclosure. So I handle him every day to put him back in his house from that tree. Loves to be on the top of my head lol he’s very friendly. •He eats about 5 dubia roaches every other day...

Hello everyone, My chameleon went to the vet for a minor respiratory infection, she heard just a little rattling breathing. But when the vet looked in his mouth she said she seen “maybe a little bit of stomatitis” no pus, just a bit of yellowing discoloration on the sides in the back of the...

In case this will be helpful for anyone in the future, Amber NaturalZ customer service was very helpful and said that the 1oz bottle is just water and because I didn’t mix the small vial into the water, it’s still good to use :)

No problem :) Do you have any opinions on Reptaid? Or have you used it for your chameleon?
