Hoping this can be a learning experience so others can avoid this situation. The store we got her from is taking some responsibility and is reimbursing us for the cost of the chameleon. Nice, but it doesn't cover our heartbreak. We'll get another when we are ready. And I'll make sure it's a...

This makes so much sense. The store I bought her from told me she was eating 8 crickets a day. She only kept up with that for about a week when we brought her home. She went down to maybe 4 a day after that for a week and then stopped. That's when I came online for help and was told she was a...

From what I understand now, most are wild caught or kept with males (Petco and Petsmart are notorious for this). They hold onto sperm for months, so even if they aren't gravid when they are sold, they can "become" pregnant. I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong!

She said that she probably had too many in her little body, as they grew, she ruptured. Just an unlucky thing that couldn't have been prevented. The reptile surgeon there said she wouldn't have survived any surgical intervention. Thanks for everyone's kind words.

Sad update. We had to put Cosmo down today. She had an x-ray and ultrasound at the vet today and they discovered her uterus ruptured and her abdomen was full of fluid. It wasn't likely that she would survive a surgery to repair. We did the best we could for her, and put her to sleep. Thank you...

Anxiously waiting for a call back! I'll update when I talk to them.

She hasn't eaten anything for 9 days. How long can she go?

Yes! Not too much to choose from right now in Idaho. I plan to take out the fake ones all together and have all live plants. Once the stores start carrying the right variates, assuming she's still alive :(

Any tips on how I can get her to eat anything at all right now? I have fruitflies in preparation for the babies. Is that ok to try?

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Female Jacksonii Jacksonii, unsure on age, she's been with us since Dec. 23, 2020 Handling - Once/twice a week only if she steps out to us. Most handling takes place when we are cleaning cage. She was handled often at the feed store we bought her from. Feeding...

Do I find this somewhere or do I just copy and paste to fill out?

She survived the night, took a small sip of water this morning and is not as dark as she was last night. I'm just going to leave her alone and give her some space today. Kinda freaked out none of you with experience have seen this before. I'll be calling a vet tomorrow and will fill out the...

No, they had eyes. Here's a pic

Yep. This pic of her was 2 days ago when she was a happy girl.

We've had our Jackson Cham since Dec. We were told she was male, but after some research realized she was a gravid female. She gave birth this morning to two un-formed babies. Nothing since then. She seems very stressed. With it being a weekend, I cannot reach a reptile vet. Should I be worried...
