Hi, Grover seems to be doing quite well. I have bought a better mister bottle rather than a standard spray bottle. I switched the bulb to the reptisun 5.0, although it is still the standard bulb rather than a strip bulb. I also purchased a digital infrared thermometer. Do you have any advise on...

I honestly don't know, but I believe the eye drops will take the pressure off and higher humidity to loosen the passages. Whatever it is, it is already making changes. Here is Grover tonight after 1 day of eye drops and critical care solution. There is a noticeable difference in the movement...

UPDATE ON GROVER. So we just got back from the vet. She believes that Grovers nasal ducts are blocked. This would explain him keeping his eyes closed and the lethargy, since he is breathing thru his mouth, which explains the strange looking lips. I have made so many changes thanks to the great...

Thank you so much for the blog info. I will study it well. We already have a vet who can see us on Monday first thing. He is the only one in our area and has treated my beardies in the past. I will give updates as the days go on.

Thanks Dave, Any suggestions regarding what else I can offer other than crickets? He won't acknowledge them at all. We know he is male, he has the spurs on the back legs.

Hi, I have a veiled Chameleon, his name is Grover. He is about 6 months old, eats mainly wax worms because meal worms are harder to digest and he absolutely won't eat crickets. So far his colour pattern is the standard green, with some dark patterning when he gets annoyed. I have noticed a patch...
