I'm a herpetologist with degrees in animal behaviour and conservation so I completely understand what you're saying, and it's correct. Humans do anthropomorphise animals. Randall was too weak to hold on to his branches when he was dying and this was visably stressing him out. Once I held him and...

Thank you for all your kind and supporting comments, this forum has been so much help over the years. There are so many educated and caring people who all share the same love for chameleons. I hope to also share the knowledge I have gained. I still feel very traumatised from watching him pass...

Update: Since finding out Randall had kidney failure on Friday I took time off work to spend every minute of the day and night looking after him and making sure he wasn't alone. I've barely ate or slept because I didn't want to miss anything he needs. We had such a good weekend together, basking...

There is a vet list I found on another thread here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/attachments/chameleon-forums-vet-list-2024-u-s-a-pdf.353636/ I'm from the UK so can't help you much with finding a vet, so I hope you can find one close on that list! As for the virus, I don't know enough about...

Can anyone help me correctly age my baby? This picture was taken by the pet store in February 2019 (a month before I bought him). They said he was the runt of the litter and small for a male. I also looked further back on their photos and found pictures they had of a baby chameleon in August. I...

This looks like papilloma virus to me. I would take him to a vet as soon as possible to confirm.

Thank you so so much ❤️

Thank you for the advice! The plan over the weekend is to see how he responds to it, and if he doesn't respond well then I'll have to make the decision to end his suffering :(

Thank you!! I managed to do it first time with no problems once I was at the vet, very typical. Turns out I was worrying about tiny bubbles way more than I should as it's not going into his veins. Worth the visit though as they kindly gave me loads of extra needles and syringes free of charge :)

Update: Struggling like hell to syringe the liquid out of the bag without air bubbles. Currently on a trip back to the vet to get some assistance & hopefully will leave knowing how to do it with ease. I need to do this twice a day, so if anyone has any tips this would be appreciated ☺️

It's really not enough time, I still remember so clearly the day I got him. He was in the store for at least four months because nobody wanted him due to him being small for a male 😭. Thank you so much for your comment and suggestions, I really appreciate it

Thank you, I hope so too 😊

Thank you so much. The clay print is a really good idea, thank you for the suggestion :)

Thank you so much for your comment - I really appreciate it.

My veiled chameleon is turning 6 later this year, and I really thought I'd have more time with him. He's never had a serious health issue. However, the past few days he has taken a turn for the worse and a vet visit determined he has age related kidney failure. I had the choice between having...
