Hey thanks... HandBag will be going to the vet tomorrow.... I'm so heartbroken. He's been a good soul for 5 years and has never had this problem....I'm so in love with this boy and he seems like he's suffering...grip still good, poop still good....

My veiled chameleon has recently been to the vet for not eating. The vet put him on Emerald IC and he started eating again and seemingly back to normal. His blood work came back normal and there is no sign of MBD. I've noticed today that he cannot seem to extend his tongue like he used to, and...

Yes I'm also giving him pre formed Vitamin A...that was suggested by the vet! He's eating again and seems to have made a full recovery:)

Hey guys..I'm so happy to report that HandBag has completely turned around and started eating again...about an hour ago..he went from lethargic to eating 4 worms...not always ideal but he hasn't used his tongue in a week...he also seems stronger within hours of the Emeriad IC Carnivore...

Have any of you had experience with Emeraid IC Carnivore? HandBag seemed to be doing better yesterday however today he's weak and closing his eyes some which I know is never a good sign. This is breaking my heart! I've read in other posts chams will drink lots of water before passing and he's...

Hey, wanted to report on the vet visit. His blood work was good, not lacking in supplements or vitamins. The UVB is still a question and I've started him on Emeraid IC Carnivore. He's had it before which he responded to beautifully a few years back. He already seems more active and hopefully...

Rob! Awesome! I absolutely hate the cages for Chameleons. Mine sits in my living room and it just sucks. I've looked around the city to find a piece to make one as well and I'm still searching for the right look! You've inspired me though! Please post pics of the finished product...HandBag would...

I have a 5 year old veiled chameleon. He's always come straight to me, and loves to crawl around on me and my furniture. I think it just depends on the personality. He's been mellow from the day I got him. There has only been one time since I've had him that he's hissed at me, and it was because...

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I have an appointment later today with a guy in SF who seems a bit more knowledgable about Chameleons. He still is not eating but had normal bowl movements today and yesterday so that made me feel better. He did this eating strike about two years ago and the vet...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? He's a veiled chameleon, male and I've had him almost 5 years in September Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I've handled him a lot as he came to me and was not...

You seem knowledgeable and would love to phone you? Not sure how to give you my number privately? Seems too long to message!

Sorry you guys are right. I hear a lot of banter on here. I've heard of people giving their chameleons "baths" or running warm water on them. I've done this two times before and he usually reacts actively. This time...nothing. Confirming his lethargy. His cage/lighting warmth have been...

Hey, So I've had my guy for 5 years. I'll spare you with the details of his cage, lights etc because he's thrived all these years...however he's become lethargic and today I put him in the bath which he usually hates and responds to negatively...or at least actively. Today nothing..he sunk and...

Thanks. He's never really been into leafy greens and I've tried a lot of different things over the years. He used to be excited about his crickets and occasional super worms but since he's tasted the cherries, he's refusing. Also wondering if the cherries are bad for him. Can't really find much...
