Does anyone have the slightest idea as to whats going on or what is called? I can at least start researching the issue and then present it to the vet.

Sorry about the delay in getting these photos, but here it is. It gives you a good understanding of what is going on along with a top view to see how far it sticks out from him. What do you guys think? Please note that white center of the bump is from old skin as he just finished shedding...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Panther Chameleon - 2 Years in my care i believe. Handling - 1-3 times a week Feeding - Crickets as a primary, 5-10 per day and gut loading with whatever veggies i have in the fridge. Every Thursday i pick up a horned worm or two for him as well. Supplements...

Hello, Thanks for coming by to help, but i seem to have found myself in an unknown situation regarding my chameleon. We have a panther chameleon that has started to develop a wart like growth on his side that is firm to the touch. I am not quite sure what this could be as some have advised me...

Thanks everyone for their replies, he is doing much better! At first we weren't sure if he was on another hunger strike and not eating the crickets in the bowl set out for him. As soon as we let the crickets go inside the cage, he jumped up and started hunting them and gobbling them all up. He...

Update: Just wanted to shoot a little quick update with a photo of Theo as he appears to be doing better. I will come back on later today and give the full lowdown of what we have been doing. He seems to be more responsive of me getting close to him, pufffing up for the camera as a sign...

Just thought i would update everyone with some fresh pictures of Theo: https://app.box.com/s/hz9es280v14nlih19mqz For some reason, he has this strange dark spot on one of his legs and i am unsure where it came from. Let me know what you guys think of his condition via pictures. Also, they did...

Sandra, Thank you for the reply. I thought i had the hydration in check but appears he is still sorta dehydrated. His eyes this morning looked to be sunken in slightly, i could be wrong so i will go out and pick up some Pedalyte. I will try giving that to him instead of water as it has...

Just a little update: Today i fed him approx 3 crickets this morning, unfortunately he didnt want to eat them by himself so i had to open his mouth to do it. He was receptive once the crickets were in his mouth and he chewed them up no problem. This afternoon, i wanted to give him 3 more...

I agree with you 100% and as per your comment i went to check right away what his basking temperature was. I have attached a photo of the gauge i have to check his basking spot right where he usually sits. It is reading right now: 27.9 to 28°C. Please keep in mind that once the mister goes...

Hi Sandra, I just wanted to quickly ask you one more question, you mentioned that the lights need to be off at night as he needs to sleep too. What about the misting system? Does that need to be off too? I find that if it runs all night, at specific intervals, it really brings the temperature...

Checked the temperature at his basking spot and yup as per my OP its around 26-29°C and does fluctuate a little bit when the mister comes on. It cools it done for sure. I have always wondered if i should find a way to warm that water so its not so much of a shock to the cage with cold water. Do...

Thanks for understanding, been trying to help to the best of what i have here without spending a lot on useless things. I have been saving all of my money to get him to see professional help. Do you think he is opening up for heat? It is more likely stress because i have to open his mouth as...

Sandra, i really do appreciate you taking the time to help me out here and give me advice. I am working on bringing together some funds to goto the vet. This unexpected visit to the ER was not cheap and has drained my funds currently. I will take him there, but in the mean time, i cannot...

Hey everyone, it is now day three of the rehabilitation of Theo and things have really plateaued. He is sorta drinking, i am still force feeding him the baby food mixed with calcium at the moment but he is not wanting to eat any of the bugs in his cage. I may want to try crushing some bugs up...
