    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    He seems like he is getting worse. He hasn't been eating again and we were only able to get one oral dose in him before he shut his mouth and refused to open it. He won't eat crickets even if we push them in the side of his mouth. I worry that we should have given him the ca injection at the...

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    Update 2: We were able to get the little guy out with minimal stress and got him x-rayed. It does look like he has MBD :-( We have really been trying to provide proper husbandry, and feel super bad that he has gotten this far along. The vet didn't have any calcium glubionate syrup, but...

    Why Chameleons Change Colors

    Not strictly. They also change colors for communication and for temperature regulation.

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    Update: We added more wattage to the basking lamp, bumping the temp reading to ~94F. The new UV CFL came in and we set up both it and the older one (~5 months old) to cover him while basking. He finished off the rest of his shed today. He also ate a bunch of crickets (24, heavily dusted with...

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    We are high enough elevation that it snows and he could be getting drafty. Do you have an opinion of which brand of liquid calcium is best, or does it matter?

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    Thank you so much for responding. He is shedding, but only one leg has shed and the rest doesn't look like it is going. During previous sheds he was lethargic and didn't eat as much, but this is worse. But he is still moving around and even climbing on the screen. In your opinion, should we...

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    In the last picture of him there is a black probe hanging under what is his basking spot. It reads 83-84F except during misting (mistking run off a timer).

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    He seems to be getting worse and not eating. He is pretty lethargic, but still moving around and being able to hold on. I'm ordering new bulbs and am going to try to see if he can be force fed food and liquid calcium. The soonest a local vet can see him and possibly give him a calcium...

    Looking for reassurance regarding MBD

    A friend has a bearded dragon that they didn't give much if any calcium to and wound up with a broken back. Now we are a bit paranoid about our veiled chameleon. He is about eight months old. His main staple is gut loaded crickets that are sprayed with calcium every feeding, calcium + D3...

    Live plants for chameleons

    Our Veiled loves the flowers. The hibiscus plants we put in there were in full bloom and he went and ate all the flowers. Now he eats the buds just before they flower.

    How to make a dripper for chameleon cage

    Before I got the mist king setup working, we used a plastic cup with holes in the bottom and then put ice in the cup. The only problem was that the surface tension of the water on the screen caused it to pool and needed help breaking tension and dripping. Now that the misters work the little...
