Trace: Can you give me some input on the mixing of the Repta-Aid? The directions say for a 30g reptile to mix 6 spoonfuls per 3cc of water. When I made it per the instructions it ended up being a ball of dough. I assume I am mixing it incorrectly but that is what the directions say.....

Well that was a fail on the feeding..... First off the directions on the Repta-Aid say for her weight to mix "6 spoonfuls per 3cc of water", that combo made a ball of dough:confused: So I added some more water and gave it a whirl. She absolutely refused to open her mouth no matter what I...

Okay mine is very close to that in length. Thank you, that was extremely helpful:)

How long would you say your female is? I ask because I have no idea how old mine might be and not familiar with the size of a cristatus.

Wanted to give everyone an update on my chams situation. I have been doing daily showers and I am successful getting her to drink during them. I have also been misting her several times a day for about 10 minutes each time. I have not been so successful getting her to drink during the...

Still a little early to tell about her recovery.... He was asking 90 dollars, I got him down to 60. I have no idea if it was a good deal or not to be honest. Sounds like you had a good time at the Con:) How is your Water Dragon doing?

I got one of the Sailfin chams.... Turns out it is actually a crested and mine was extremely dehydrated. I am still nursing her back to good health.

Just wanted to give an update.. Yesterday I gave her a long shower and several LONG misting periods. She continues to remain perched with eyes closed. I have chosen not to feed her yet until I see a little improvement on the dehydration. This morning she is in the same condition. I'm...

Thanks Trace:) Should I attempt to feed her some crickets or should I hold off till she opens her eyes?

Thank you to both of you for the laying bin info. I just got her out of the shower, she drank a ton of water. She is back in her environment and did a little climbing around. Currently she is sitting still with eyes closed. I will repeat the process in a bit and keep doing it till she gets...

Thank you for the great info! I am upset with myself that I have contributed to the process of wild caught chameleons. I am going to get her in the shower now and will post back afterwards. Question: How deep does the lay bin need to be and what substrate do I use for the bin?

What causes them to develop missing scales in the wild? Sorry if this is a idiot question but I hate to assume things:)

Holy cow! I have only had one prior chameleon and it was a male Jackson's. This is my first exp with a female and a possible prego one at that. I believe the proper course would be to provide her with a container with sand in it at the bottom of her enclosure? When you say put her in the...

Thank you, I have a few more things I want to do. I just want to provide the best home I can for him. I am concerned about this new crested I picked up yesterday, I hope I can get him back to being healthy asap.....

Here are I hope to be some better closeup pics of his crest. I am very concerned because he/she has opened its eyes a couple times this morning but for the most part is sitting there with eyes closed.
