Someone posted in a local pet group they are looking to rehome a baby veiled chameleon. I asked for pictures and was instantly sick to see the poor baby the way it was. I'm going to pick him up tomorrow but was wondering if there was any advice you guys could give me to rehabilitate this poor...

so it is pretty normal for her sheds to be kind of random And as you said "partial"? she always seems to have some part of her body shedding. also, what kind of issues could be associated with her pooping issues? it's not all the time but has occurred a couple times within the past month or so.

I've just noticed that she isn't as "curious" anymore and is just more stagnant in general. she doesn't seem to try as hard to get shed off (i have to assist her regularly) she also seems to be having a more difficult time pooping. like she gets it stuck on her butt sometimes and i have to help...

hey guys. I'm having a hard time finding anything concrete about the lifespan of female jacksons. everything i find is for males followed by a vague comment somewhere along the lines of "females don't live as long" has anyone had experience with them? my girl is a couple months over two years...

Yes but they are an hour drive away And as i stated before she is very very very sensitive to stress. And this is not even an exaggeration she quit eating for a week when i removed a dying plant from her enclosure. I brought her to bask in natural sunlight and she became stiff as a board and she...

It just becomes extremely frustrating. You have to understand that. I see it all the time where someone is asking a question and people respond with unhelpful information just to show they know something it seems. It's especially frustrating when it has Already been explained why the bump in d3...

People have to realize that not every case is the same. Chiming in with regurgitated info is not helpful in any way. Yes, the suggested supplementation of d3 is monthly. But if your cham is not metabolizing the calcium, more d3 might be the answer as it promotes calcium absorbtion. Please know...

It was suggested to supplement more for a short time to support calcium absorption by a exotic animal vet since mbd was taken into consideration. I have recently switched back to her normal regiment as mbd does not seem to be the issue.

It has also been sitting in a little puddle of water all day i can try to get a better one in the morning. Those little brown specs come and go and was told it can be diet related especially with gut loading. I have no doubt she gets enough water as i have a mistking at 3 5 minute intervals and...

I notice this coloration more after i give her vitamins too.

This is a recent poo from today

and that is why i am kind of confused about this one because she is showing no other signs of mbd at all.

i have a t8 linear uvb 5 (going to get a 10 next month) i upped the d3 a tad because of the mbd scare and is necessary for calcium absorption, and being a montane species wasn't sure if the 5.0 was providing enough for absorption (this is advice given per an exotic animal vet to a friend who was...

I have not had her tested. Nothing has raised any alarms in regards to parasites so i haven't considered it. I have been reluctant to bring her in as i feel it might do more harm than good. She is a sweetheart but suuuuuuper sensitive to everything. She will stop eating if i even look at her wrong

Yes
