This looks like a respiratory infection, and it's a really good idea to get to an exotic vet as soon as possible. I'm also noticing their eyes appear more bulgy than usual, too. Is it possible you could get a photo of your little guy's entire enclosure? It would also be helpful for you fill out...

Oh here’s the husbandry form. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you...

I'm so thrilled and filled with anticipation! It's hard to believe that it was just yesterday when I meticulously set up my chameleon's cage, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Now, I feel fully prepared and ready to welcome my male veiled chameleon from FramsChams, who will be arriving...

Maybe filling out a husbandry form will be helpful. I’ll copy and paste it below you can copy and paste your answers below and one of the experienced keepers will take a look and try to help. Most likely a vet is in order but the people here are great. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The...

I’m afraid that your reptile store hasn’t given you fully correct info. The most important is your UVB is not the right type. Chameleons need linear T5 fixtures with either Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0 UVB bulbs. Distance between basking branch and light should be 8-9”. The coiled screw in type...

Hi and welcome! :) We can most definitely help you. For lights, you need a linear UVB, preferably a T5 (you currently seem to have a T8) with either an Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0. While a good uvb light can be a bit pricey, it’s no where near $200. I suggest going thru...

Alrighty, see my feedback in bold also Cage Info: Cage Type - zoomed screen cage the biggest one they had about 40 something inches tall, 24 inches wide, and about 24 inches in length. Perfect! Lighting - I’m pretty sure the brand is zoomed again not 100% sure for the lights, if I remember...

I've never provided water for any of my insects, just fresh food and places for them to hide. I use egg crate flats, but you can also use kitchen or toilet roll tubes. My current cricket box is an adapted storage box since I ordered 500 crickets, but the company sent 1000 instead! Sometimes, I...

NO DON'T SHUT UP! Lol. Okay with the new enclosure coming, I am not going to turn the tank and create more work for myself. Instead I'm just going to get her out of the enclosure for a bit each day and under the UVB lights until her enclosure comes in this week. That way she's getting UVB (I...

YOU ARE AWESOME!! NONE of the 30 minute tutorials I watched mentioned that UVB doesn't pass through glass and screen is required, I'm assuming it's because most people START with screen cages. I watched every single one I could find and read the comments of each to get an idea for callouts of...

I can see plainly just by the cage set up one major issue. He can not get close enough to the UVB to be able to actually get what he needs. the branches are way too far away from the lighting. We need specifics to give you an exact distance needed. Copy and paste the form below into your reply...

Hello everyone, it has been a little more time since my last message and I hasten to inform you that nothing has changed with our problem (. He also can't shoot his tongue beyond two centimeters. We also have a few more problems and I don't understand why I'm asking you to help me. I began to...

Hi all, Just hoping to get a general husbandry check on my guy as a paranoid reptile parent. Chameleon Info: •Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Yuki is a 10 month old male panther chameleon and I have had him about 4 months...

Thank you so much. It is so helpful to hear the anecdotal differences that people have found to work effectively.

Hi and welcome. I’m afraid your guy doesn’t look very well. I have a ton of questions so that I can try to help you figure out what might be going on and how to correct it. If you could copy/paste the following with your answers, we can get started. I will color the most important info needed in...

I have moved the lay bins to a Styrofoam cooler with holes. This helps maintain humidity and 85 degree temps. Close to hatch time I'll move the lay bin to a reptibreeze with corrogated plastic sides.
