Oh and also, the post from Sandrachameleon mentions that this gradually gets worse if the supplements are at fault. My cham lost his ability to shoot literally over night. He shot normally one day, and when i went to feed him the next day he tried shooting, but couldn't, so he climbed in the...
Thanks, i will check all posts and will change my supplements. I will go to the pet store today to check if they have any other supplements, if they don't i will order online.
Yes, i would love for him to be outside, but sadly i live in Slovenia, and we currently have 15 degrees celsius, and...
Lovereps, thanks so much for this!
Yes he has a basking light and i have an automatic mister. The humidity is naturaly around 60% here where i live, so after mistings his humidity is even higher.
Yes, i used the exact same suplements, but my other chams were all older when i got them, so...
Not yet, but i plan on going back on monday. Did the tounge problem resolve itself after you cut back on the calcium?
I am just super scared, because i read that some chameleons may swallow their tounge because of similar problems. The vet is now closed till monday and i don't really know...
Hey,
Since i am now out of ideas of what to do with my little boy (panther chameleon) i hope you guys can help. He is now around 7 months old.
For the past 10-14 days he has been having trouble shooting his tounge and it has been getting worse. I have now been to the vet twice but he has...
He does show some signs of color he had, when he sees my female, sometimes when he sleeps (but it is much lighter then). Not that bright but in the same shades. I have an appointment at the vet today, just to make sure, he will check his poop, blood and take an x-ray. I want to be sure he's...
Thanks for the advice, i will take him to the vet first thing tomorrow. Since he has issues with shooting his tongue, this might be the reason..
I am quite sure this isn't happening due to a shed, since it has been happening gradually for a month or so and he has shed during that time.. That...
Thanks for the help:) No, he has been through quite a few sheads and has never had color loss like that.
Yes, i was thinking about the same thing, since i got him in spring, and he was out alot in the spring and summer months, but now fall has started and it is just too cold to take him out...
Hey, did, you find a solution for your panther? I seem to be having a similar problem with mine: https://www.chameleonforums.com/panther-chameleon-color-loss-120142/
I dont have the option to take him out, since it is currently way to cold where i live..
Yes i gutload their food, i give them dandelion leaves, lettuce, carrots,... I give him a multivitamin, containing d3 once a week, and calcium every other day or so. I have tried changing the bulbs, 2 weeks ago, but nothing has improved. I have a 5.0 and a 2.0 bulb, i was told by my vet that...

My chameleon took 2 months to lay her eggs. I was just as much worried as you are, but as long as you leave her alone she should do fine. Make sure she does not see you and only check on her once a day. But as everyone here has already said, you NEED to leave her or she won't lay.
