    Strange face issue, vet confused!

    Hiya! Kiwi is going back to the vets on Thursday…. The face rubbing is often followed by the weird bulgy eye cleaning thing they do, which leads me to think the rubbing might be caused by an eye issue, and nothing to do with the growth under his jaw. I haven’t had an eye issues with my...

    Strange face issue, vet confused!

    Firstly, @kinyonga @MissSkittles @Carlton thank you so much! It always amazes me how people are willing to take the time out of their busy lives to help. The abscess information is really interesting, agree 10 days of antibiotics would stand no chance without clearing out the cheese. I asked...

    Strange face issue, vet confused!

    Hello! My little kiwi is showing signs of illness that the vet can’t work out… Problem: About 6 weeks ago he started rubbing the right side of his face. This includes the eye but it really is the whole side of his face he rubs. Sometimes he then does that weird eye bulge cleaning thing. Some...

    Sweet Panther Developed Aiming Problem - Please help!

    Hello Cham owners! I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. My much loved male panther has started missing his food over the past couple of months. Problem: His tongue seems to extend and retract properly in a muscular sense, it just misses the bug by about 1-2cm. He climbs closer to the...

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Hello and happy weekend! @kinyonga @MissSkittles Unfortunately the skin issue on my little kiwi doesn’t seem to be getting better, although I know chameleons heal in strange ways so I would HUGELY appreciate your advice on next steps. To note: he is eating / drinking / pooping as normal, no...

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Hello lovely Cham owners, Kiwi is no closer to a diagnosis, he has been seen by an exotic vet (with Cham experience) but they are undecided and therefore kiwi hasn’t been given any treatment so far. It is day 8 since the marking appeared, it seems to be more white & defined but it is...

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Thank you both! @kinyonga @MissSkittles He is cup fed but I don’t give him crickets, he has dubia & silkworms as his staple bugs. If it is a burn, will it heal on its on own or is medication needed? The other unusual thing he has is no pigment on the inside of his front two hands. It’s...

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) @MissSkittles @Sonny13 @kinyonga It’s day 4 since the markings on kiwi have appeared, I don’t think they have gotten worse but they haven’t gotten any better... The white maybe seems more pronounced but hard to say given he’s always...

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Thank you, I really appreciate your time & expertise! Wow I didn’t know chams could bruise, that’s so interesting. It could be a bruise as his missing tail does make him quite clumsy. I will keep a close eye on it, fingers crossed…

    Strange Marking / Burn? Discolouration?

    Ah thank you! I think he is too but he has a sad back story… A really awful keeper advertised him on GumTree as ‘free’ ‘must go today’ because he had lost half his tail and had multiple bite wounds. He was being kept in a small enclosure with over 10 other juveniles who had been bulling him...

    How effective are domestic water filter jugs?!

    Thank you Kinyonga, that’s the kind of explanation I was trying to find :) (My dad uses a Britta for his fancy coffee machine, he’s going to be devasted when I forward this info :ROFLMAO:)

    How effective are domestic water filter jugs?!

    Hi Beman! Thank you as always for being so helpful, you are the Cham oracle! :) Great to know how often you replace the filter. I have researched RO systems but read that they produce a lot of waste water so they can be expensive to run & slow to produce without good tap pressure? I don’t...
