Okay @Beman your prediction was correct: the silicone works as an adhesive but it’s not strong enough to hold the tension the vinyl needs when stretched in the frame. I give up!! I’m going to try solid PVC panels instead. Is there a specific type of PVC/acrylic sheeting that is enclosure...

IGNORE ABOVE - just checked the epoxy resin packet and it says toxic to marine life, so that’s a no go! I’m going to try the marine vinyl with one more product then call it quits and switch to solid pvc sheets. Do you know if the following would be safe / strong bonding? - PVC pipe cement...

Hi @Beman :) Yes I’ve got marine grade vinyl pvc, as you predict it’s proving really difficult to get an adhesive that works. Epoxy glue sort of sticks BUT it has such a potent smell I’m worried about using it. Do you know if it’s safe to use inside an enclosure? (After it has cured/gassed...

It’s so frustrating! I can’t return it either because I painted it before I realised 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was so easy to customise before dammit… thank you I will try sanding!

Hiya Cham keepers! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) I have just purchased a new reptibreeze to replace my current old one and noticed zoomed have changed the design of the panels - in a way that is causing a big problem in my attempt to replace the mesh screen with PVC. I wanted...

Hiya! I hope everyone is have a great weekend :) Just a quick question, I never see my 8 month Cham drink because he’s still very shy. SO I have been monitoring his urates closely… Is the attached okay or on the dehydrated side? I would say it’s cream (maybe with a bit of orange?!) but I’ve...

Hi folks, Happy weekend! I am considering adopting a new male panther and came across someone with a mixed litter. Strangely, all 3 males are missing the ends of their tails, the 2 females are fine. The owner said the males nipped each other. Is this a likely explanation? Would this cause any...

He Totally agree, that’s why I wanted to gauge how serious it looks so I can emotionally prepare myself! He has a dripper that he drinks from religiously so it was just his humidity that dropped when the mister was busted. I will ask the vet to look into both types of gout, thank you for the...

Thank you both! @MissSkittles @Beman The only recent thing that occurred is my house move, during which the mister was damaged and it took a couple weeks to fix so humidity was low. I have also realised my UV bulb is over-due replacement. Could either of those factors have caused this kind of...

Another photo attached - this morning I woke up to him in this position, his left legs both hanging in the air :( His left back leg is definitely swollen at the knee, left front leg is swollen a little bit. Is this a husbandry issue or time for a vet appointment? Any advice for next steps...

Hi Beman, I hope you’re well, happy 2023! Of course, please find husbandry form below :) I have also just taken some photos of him and tried to inspect him more thoroughly. His grip seems worst on his left hand side, the back leg on the left is swollen at the knee and perhaps a little at...

Hi guys, I hope everyone & their cham’s are having a good weekend :) My Nosey Be rescue has been increasingly clumsy over the past couple months: - he is standing less, resting on his tummy mostly - sleeps with half his legs dangling, not gripped in the usual sleep position - His feet often...

Haha sorry, pics attached! Ah so is it just the LoD that causes edema? In which case, subbing in Arcadia Earth ProA and using it with the LoD isn’t going to make a difference? Pablo is a rescue, the first two years he lived with really bad owners and husbandry. He had edema when I first got...

No bee pollen or extras. It’s a cheeky male Nosey Be. Attached is: - photo of the edema I took before stopping the supplements, it’s gone down a lot since I did that. - photos of Repashy labels Thank you so much for your help! This forum always amazes me how generous people are with their time :)

Hi Beman! The chameleon oracle to the rescue 🙂 Hope you and your cham’s are well! I was using Repashy supercal no D on every feed then subbing it for Repashy calcium LoD twice a month. I paused all supplements for 2 weeks and the edema has definitely reduced so I’m sure it’s linked to the...
