I've been misting eyes with a hand mister and filtered water. I also run a Mist King ultimate setup.

Was first given 'Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution USP , 0.3%' as eye drops, but no changes were noticed in the animals. I also have pure saline solution available (no additives)

If you had 4 chameleons in one enclosure, 2 have swelling in eye drain ducts from infections. A third one cham scratches eyes on branches but has no visible swelling yet. The last cham shows no signs. I will defiantly be dosing the two with the swelling, but what about the one scratching...

Looks good, congrats!

Do you have a good uvb bulb on the setup? And are you dusting it's food?

Gov't banned 4 species of python, don't let chameleons or any other non-venomous animal be next!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zom3GGxQ82g&feature=share News info...

When my first female, first got gravid she became very mean. I was surprised since she was so friendly since day one. Eventually when she layed her clutch completely she became quite friendly again. She is an Ambanja panther.

If you order one (which will probably be way cheaper than getting one locally,) the cham can go a couple days without it. Just nothing long term!

Also, I wouldn't worry so much about a live plant, it is more to worry about, I would use a fake plant/vine until you get everything sorted out. All you need is a: screen cage thermometer regular incadecent light bulb and fixture uvb bulb and fixture (reptisun 5.0 is best) climbing...

Look up any 'Panther' chameleon care sheet for specifics, 'Ambanja' is a locale which describes it's color/ where it originally came from. 'Panther' describes what type of chameleon it is. If you have any questions post using the 'how to ask a question form' or you can pm me. OP if it...

I have had the same problem with a rescue panther I received. When I first got her, before her eye was swollen, I gave her Reptaid. She was pretty dehydrated and staved. After it happened: I took her to the vet and got eye drops and had a talk about vit A in chameleons/reptiles, but the vet...

Thanks for the tips! I'm starting to think a secondary containment for all the bugs wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to do some research on them!

Has anyone bred chams on dubia nymphs instead of pinhead crix? I can't find a clear answer in this section.
