Took my 6 year old (I was sure he was older than that!) panther to the vets today. He has a small abscess on the inside of his lower jaw, possibly from an insect bite. The vet cleaned his wound and he got prescribed Baytril, 0.1ml every couple of days for a fortnight. Does this sound like...

Anyone know if these guys are still going? I want one of their bases for my new Jackson’s cage. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your advice and info. Can’t wait to get my Jackson’s! I’m in the middle of moving house and got him on hold until then....hopefully it won’t be too long!

Thanks for the recommendation? Is it relatively silent?

Thanks for the great info! Some of that stuff I knew, had or do - I just forgot to mention it in my initial post! I’ll be sure to get a humidifier for nighttime humidity. Is there a humidifier you recommend? A silent one would be ideal as my reptiles live in my bedroom! Thanks

Hi, I’ve had a Panther chameleon for almost 9 years - he is amazing! He has a 2x2x4ft screen enclosure with devils ivy plants and an exo terra monsoon misting system. He gets misted for 2 minutes, 4 times a day. He has a dripper that he happily drinks from. His basking spot is set to about 30...

I'm actually a wheelchair user. My dripper is on the inside of the cage on a large exo terra lamp stand, with the base underneath one of my pothos' pots. Works perfectly for me. Hope this helps

Oh no, I'm really sorry. I hope he recovers. I think I'll take Starr back to the vets and ask if she'll do a blood test. The vet I went to initially is the only reptile vet in my area, so it may have to be there, seen as it's sounds like it's not a neurological issue as she diagnosed.

The drops I got are called tiacil. I didn't note where you're from, if the US, it might have a different name. I hope you get on ok. Keep us posted how you get on!

The eye issue that responded to the eye drops was directly before this eye drooping problem. As soon as he started opening his eye properly all the time, that's when the eye drooping when eating began. The uvb is 2/3 inches from the top of the cage and a further few inches above the basking...

Any other ideas please?

Yeah sorry, I should have said, the low 90s is directly under the light on the top of the mesh. On the actual basking branch I imagine the temps are much lower. He doesn't get any heat at night, he did when I first got him though, until I read not to on here. His cage is positioned so that the...

Hey guys....so I have a problem.... Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Starr is a 16 month old panther chameleon. I've had him from being like 3 months old. Handling - he waits for me to open the cage in the morning, and comes straight on my hand, so for a few minutes almost every day...

So I contacted where I got my chameleon from (chameleoco - www.chameleoco.co.UK) and Simon's advice was to either turn the chameleon upside down and he'll open his eyes or to put a drop on the closed eye slit and when he eventually opens his eye, the drop will go in. I've not tried either just...

I have the exact same problem at the minute. As soon as I go near him with the drops, he either shuts or moves his eye to make it more difficult. My reptile vet is on holiday too... I was one of her last appointments before her holiday! I'm fairly sure I've not got any in his eye yet since I...
