My chameleon didn't really like the drippers that I had/made for him. He'd drink from it but not as often as when I mist him. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with being raised on a dripper as opposed to being used to mistings. I bought Fred at about 5-6 months and he had been misted at...

Don't use that. Get the reptisun 5.0 linear tube, as presented in the image above.

Lol! Maybe she's a 3rd date kind of girl. Thanks for explaining that! I knew that territorial chameleons most likely should be larger male-wise for more successful breeding. The video i saw was on youtube, where the male was taking jabs at the female before they began mating, so I guess I...

There's already a thread for this. I don't think it'll pass. It'd put too many petstores/vets in jeopardy.

I know your frustration. Don't interpret my advice as being something meant to be harsh. I just know that as a novice I too have made mistakes, hasty mistakes...Kitty I know you want what's best for your cham, everyone does. Please dont let my advice discourage you from posting. I meant no harm...

Mine does sometimes. Perhaps readjust the lighting schedule to 1.5 hours earlier and see if your cham likes it? What is your lighting? UVB? Basking lamp? Wattage and brand please?

Oh. Well nevermind then. I wonder how tall chameleon casques can actually get? After they hit the one year mark it seems they stop growing in length, all except for their casque.

Get another vet.

The whole part of that casque that is black looks like a burn. I guess there's a chance that it may just be...black, but I'd suspect you're going to see some scales coming off soon. My chameleon had burns like that and a month later they peeled. It could be the picture, though, especially...

She ate it by herself, or did you put it in her mouth? Also, my chameleon goes off of food when shedding, but he doesn't sit there with his eyes closed or appear weak. Uhhh. Don't do that. You don't want to do that until you go to a vet. Baytril is really rough on chameleons and should...

Well that was kind of a success. Keep doing that every couple hours in case she'll chew for you again. Did you dust that worm before you have it to her? Also, really consider the ensure idea. Just get a little syringe and buy a can of ensure and give her a little bit once or twice a day. it...

Try the ensure idea instead then. When I force fed Fred during his vit deficiency he wouldn't keep it in his mouth. Instead, I held the worm with tweezers and kept it in front of his face, and let him chew on it for a bit until it was almost completely in his mouth. then i'd let it go and he'd...

Good luck!! :) Just make sure you don't overheat, I'd use a 60 watt house bulb. Those are pretty efficient for warmth and not too strong to burn.
