same problem
we had the same problem w/ our panther cham - vet flushed her eye out topically w/ antibiotic liquid and gave me some broad spectrum antibiotic shots which I administered at home over 10 days. Her eye cleared up, but a few months later it was infected again. It has been infected...
Took my female panther to the vet last week b/c of an eye problem (I have read all the posts on eye issues and it would seem she has one too). Anyway, he gave me some drops for her eyes and said to shower her to loosen stuff... she now has good days and bad days - not a full recovery yet. The...
thanks, very helpful
i have read a million things on dusting too... i think i am doing too much. will cut back right away and also need a new bulb for one of my enclosures... thx a lot.
ok - I have 6 month?? old male panther and a 1 yr old female panther. separate cages (except on date nites). female panther layed eggs for first time this past October (before we got male panther) which is what made me want to get the male so that I could try to mate them. How do I know when...
our cham ate an iguana
When we got our chams they were given to us with a bunch of other reptiles including 4 anoles, 2 tree frogs, an iguana hatchling, a green snake (and the chams - 1 adult veiled, 1 young veiled and 1 young panther). The previous owner had all of the above animals in two...
drinking from syringe
my female panther is about 1 year old I think?? not entirely sure as she was adopted. anyway - it started out when I was spraying water into her cage w/ a spray bottle and instead of spraying it hard I just started dripping it into her cage from the top and she would...
drinking from syringe
this may be weird but my two panther chams drink straight from a syringe for me. I started doing this when we had a veiled cham that had bitten his tongue off and we had to syringe feed/water him (we have since had him put to sleep as his tongue was not healing after...
burns
we had a veiled with similar problems (had the burns when we got him) - our vet thought it was b/c he had been too close to his lights and this had caused burns. his skin would not shed well on his knees/elbows and top of his head (sorry I dont really know the proper technical names for...
shower solved our eye prob
our male panther had a similar eye prob. - we put him in the shower for about 20 minutes and he was better immediately - he just needed a good eye cleaning
I have introduced Superworms, butterworms and phoenix worms to my panther chams -- no interest. They just keep eating their crickets. How do I get them to try something new??? Any ideas??
chk out reptile depot
I just ordered a cage from reptile depot (www.reptiledepot.com). it is 24/24/48 black screen with a huge door opens front and another foldout door at bottom for cleaning -- $80 - it was on special last week - may still be. I think it looks pretty nice. Still working on...
waterfall/glass cage
Tried a waterfall - thought it would be very cool - crickets kept getting sucked in to the pump and we got rid of it after a week or so. .. dont waste your money
RE the glass -- I have a cage that has one glass side. I put it toward the back and then when I spray water...
what a coincidence
my male panther shedded his skin today and hasnt been eating much either. I have also noticed this behavior with our bearded dragon. I assume there is a correlation unless someone wiser than I disagrees.... anyone else?
breeding season?
I guess I am clueless - when exactly is breeding season?? I mean, we live in Cincinnati Ohio - I'm not sure when chameleon breeding season is in Cincinnati? Actually I'm quite sure there is no chameleon breeding season in Cincinnati Ohio. :p All I know is that she is about...
