Ok, thank you. I can make that happen.

Looking for an opinion on my bud's poo. He pooped like this the last 3 times and it's not his typical feces. Urates area bit thick but were having dripper issues. (Ordering a new one.) It's the forbidden sausage I'm worried about. It's just....mushy looking. Usually it's darker and has more...

Will do!

It's been a minute since I've needed to post so here's updated info. Phineas the Tongue-less Wonder Your Chameleon - Male, Jackson Xantholophus. Age estimate is 2.5-3 years. I've had him about 1.75 years now. Petsmart source. Handling - I bring him out a few times a week for physical checks...

I'll see if I can get a snapshot or two when I'm not handling her tomorrow. She gets all offended and turns into a green football when I'm holding her. And you may be right, she may just need to hunger strike a bit. Tonight is the first time I KNOW she's eaten in a week. Her eyes are starting to...

She was fecal tested 2 months ago. (She made it easy though by having a worm hanging out her bum.) That is part of the plan, which is why I'm annoyed I couldn't find the poo after she "deflated." We want to recheck. I managed to get some food in her tonight when I got home and will try again...

I get these mixed up. I do use ZooMed. Linear. Sorry.

Ok, gonna do this proper this time. Your Chameleon - Jackson, F, WC, est. 2yrs old, have had her 1.5 yrs. Handling - once or twice a week for sunshine time. She doesn't gape at me anymore. Feeding - crickets, roaches, horn worms. She won't eat mealworms, superworms, or black soldierfly larvae...

I'm not keen on it either but I have some left over from when Phin first lost his tongue. I found a great bug meal mix that I put in it that has all the right insects. Mixing the two, with extra calcium added, made a huge difference in Phin's recovery. It just has to sit and meld for a few...

Ok, here's current pictures of my two referenced children. Phineas is overall doing better from his tongue issue. He has always had the "stressed, too little sleep" expression, but the bags are a bit deeper now. He reminds me of my German grandmother with his perpetually cranky expression...

We're pretty dry. 9am and 38% outside and dropping. We're High desert and have been in fire season for almost 2 months now. I do have a computer fan resting on top of the cage to help encourage air flow. This cage really had fixed all the issues with heat and humidity I was having with her...

Good point. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I'll get some up here ASAP. At work and I've never thought to get a photo of them gaping. Derp.

Two of my buddies are now having issues with their health and I'm struggling to determine what's the cause. I'm calling the vet but am hoping to brainstorm why my healthy chameleons have diminished suddenly over the last 6 months. My 2 other chams, another Jackson and a Panther, have been ok...

Right at the tip. Yes, he is currently learning to hunt down insects and pick them up with his mouth. I am trying to find a feeder set up that will make it easier for him while he learns. I chill his bugs and hand feed him at this point. I think the full throttle-style feeder will be our end...

No, the blobby bit is gone. They amputated the whole thing to the hyoid bone. In fact, my current concern and focus of observation, is that, while the wound is healed up, his hyoid bone sticks out. I don't know what this is supposed to look like at this point. I am watching to see if that...
