Leave them, theyll be fine

she had compacts but I switched her to my 4 foot bulbs........I felt the compacts didnt really put forth enough spread. could be why they hurt the eyes........too focalized.

Next update I tossed a couple crickets in her cage..........she eats. Still really not wanting to use those back legs. She kind of gets around on the screen but every so often I still see her laying on the cage floor. If by chance she is absolutely egg bound.............what good would...

Long story short, little guy hasnt been doing well. I asked my friend what was up with them one day and she replied "Well one kinda sits around with his eyes closed" and I suggested she put him in a small enclosure and move them outside every couple days for a couple hours of sunshine and...

Toss another update for yall......... She is less lethargic but still has very little control of those hind limbs. Almost done with the baytril course and I will continue mixing in the calcium powder with her water and babyfood cocktail. On a side note, I had placed my little sambava...

dont know about that to be honest but I asked the same thing and I think that there was some people speculating that some species if not all could be temp induced. What I gather is that no one has precisely controlled the incubation temps within a 2 degree temp for the whole incubation period...

Still no real changes..........she is moving around the medical cage some but not too much. The back legs have a tiny and let me stress TINY improvement with grasping but she still pulls herself around the cage with her front legs. Her color is a very dark brown and if I thought she could do...

Im surprised by that chart as well...........would be nice if we had everyone give averages. I didnt weigh mine often if at all but I know the Sambava male I have is well over 200..........hes huge compared to my 40 gram yearling female Nosey be female (sick) and my sambava female who is also...

Well today she seems to be doing "A LITTLE BETTER" as she climbs with her forelegs abit more and is at least grasping things with her hind feet. She definetly has some sort of respitory problem.......I see the mucous when she opens her mouth..........I tend to think I probably helped that...

I have nothing but good things to say about those guys. Took approx four days to get my stuff across the country. I use a 5 gallon water bottle/jug from a water cooler set up. I have pretty hard water and I started buying the water initially until I got a filter for drinking water under the...

Todays update.............. Gave her some repti-aid mixed with some calcium and a dose of baytril. She was pretty pissed off when I picked her up so I may have inadvertently put water at the wrong time.............ie while hissing. She sounded like I may have gotten a bit in her chest on...

Sorry the pic is in my phone .............Ill try to get it on the computer. He has contacted a good friend of his from OH and she specializes in avian and exotics......... She was also the one that said "Unfortunately with chameleons you either have one walking around eating or it has X's...

Jim, I appreciate the help you did give me as it was a start for me to be proactive. I still very much believe that this is not a condition of husbandry as my two sambavas are fierce eaters and my male is gigantic. While I hope to not kill any chameleons I do know however that animals...

Udated again........... Female was dosed with the baytril solution every day over the weekend and this morning and was given soaks in warm water for 10 or better minutes every day as well as a minimum of 1cc of water or Water, repti-aid solution and on saturday she was given yet again another...

Thanks for the tidbit Dave!!!! If you caught my post this morning I said she dumped a huge poop on the coffee table when I was holding her loosely in my fist this morning. I felt her perculating and I hovered her over the table and couldnt believe the size of what came out of her. I...
