Sorry for the late reply. I think she has mated about 5 times in her lifetime maximum? She's had clutches from retained sperm on most occasions... maybe 3 or 4 over the course of a year. I ALWAYS give her time to rest and re-couperate and she is extremely healthy. The last fertile clutch she...

Hi!! Been a while since I have been on here but was after some advice from anyone if they had any to give. I have a 2 year old Ambilobe female who is very healthy and is great. Has dropped may clutches of fertile eggs for me in the past and 99% of the babies have been healthy and fine. I have...

One thing I forgot to mention.. I use the Arcadia Slimline Vivarium Canopy D3+ T5 24W for my chameleons (I have mesh cages so use the stronger ones to penetrate the mesh.) My Panthers are fine but this Yemen is the only one suffering. Could this be too much UV for a Yemen? The vet is suspecting...

Hi everybody. So have been going to and from from the vets who is stumped at the moment. He sent off a swap to a lab where there was no traces of infection so this was baffling. Last week he suggested it may be because he is too close to the UV (which could have been a possibility as he...

Hi! I have a few babies from a last clutch that are getting to the 2 month mark now. One thing I have noticed is that the female and one of the smaller males have slightly wide eyelid holes. They are otherwise completely healthy and are eating and pooing fine with no visible signs of stress...

Just an update. He sporadically will fire his tongue out but 90% of the time he will not. He is feeding, pooing and drinking water fine and I have been supplementing with Vit A. If it was a sprain how long would I expect an improvement? Thanks!

I tried again today (gave his tongue the day off yesterday) and he doesn't seem to be shooting it out still. If it is a sprain it may take longer to heal? His colors look fine, he still has a ferocious appetite and I can't see any other obvious signs of illness. The thing that is confusing...

Bit of an update. I offered him a locust today and his tongue worked fine.. then, on the offering of a second one he was unable to shoot it again. This is leading me to think he may have hurt it?

Ok thanks. I have been gutloading his locusts with Vit A so will see what happens. It was strange it wasn't happening yesterday so that's what makes me think strain.

Hi, One of my adult males is suddenly having an issue with his tongue when feeding. I observed him yesterday eating fine so I presume it can't be anything like an infection. When he goes to shoot it, he opens his mouth and the tongue comes out but it doesn't 'fire' out. He is very healthy...

Thanks! I took a video of the chameleon in question. (apologies about the aspect, I forgot to turn the phone on it's side).. As you can see, he is very colourful it just seems like his body is crooked or he is biased against one side of his body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjk_h7MUMKc

Hi, I am currently in the process of having a clutch of panther eggs hatch which is very exciting. I had one hatch today which looks like a boy but I have noticed he walks with a strange twist in his body. His legs are fine and he grips, walk and climbs fine. It just looks like his body is...

Just to update, his eye is giving him the same problems as described earlier again so I am taking him to the vets later. I will keep this thread updated in case others have similar problems in the future.

So far 2 have hatched fine and 2 have not made it.. the first one needed some help out of the egg but his tongue was hanging out so he was already gone. The 2nd one pipped and then it's egg sag fell through a hole in the egg so it was outside of the egg. I left it for the night to see if the egg...

Ok thanks for the replies. They have been sweating for about 4-5 days now so just waiting for them to pip and that one in particular has started to window and is getting soft so fingers crossed.
