You said…”The Reptivite has D3 in it but the Reptivite has no D3“…hoping you mean the calcium has no D3 in it. The Reptivite should only be used lightly twice a month. You said…”She typically relaxes later in the day and rests her entire body on a branch with her hands a little relaxed”…so when...

When she laid the eggs, did she lay them in the hole she dug and then fill the hole in and tamp it down?

Does your Reptivite have vitamin D3 in it? Does the ZooMed Repticalcium have D3 in it? The arm motion can be a sign of MBD…does she always rest her belly on the branch? How many insects do you feed her in a week?

Did she lay the eggs? If so, how many?

Welcome to the forum! What supplements do you use and how often for each. How heavily do you dust with each? I’m particularly looking for them calcium, phos, D3 and type of vitamin A in the supplements. What uvb lights do you use? Long linear or curled/compact type?

You don’t want a regular vet…you want an exotics vet or a vet with lots of chameleon experience.

You’re welcome. if your chameleon is really not producing the poop/brown part, I would advise you to let us know and you will likely need to see a vet in that case.

I added to my last post.

It’s the urates (urine) and it should be whiter than that. The more orange it is the more dehydrated your chameleon is. It’s ok to be slightly orange. There should be a brown poop part to it as well. If all the chameleon is doing is producing the white/orangish part there’s a problem. Look...

I’m glad I could be there for you. It’s a hard thing to decide no matter how often you have to go through it. All we can do is keep them in our memories! I loved the video of him doing his dance…a good memory.

Life is so unpredictable….we can do everything right for them and yet we still have curves thrown at us. It’s the same for the animals as it is with people it seems. Just remember that he couldn’t have had a better place to live his life out….and keep him in your heart. Big, tight hugs. RIP...

“Our method is simple and reliable and can be carried out with minute amounts of sample, without the need for costly equipment. The application of this method for wildlife research will allow monitoring long-term trends and steroid profiles in reptiles in a relatively non-invasive manner”…...

You can always keep some in a little container until you find out what they are.

If you wipe them up…and they don’t come back it won’t matter what they are.

Spider mites are usually red, green, brown or yellow from what I know.

Any cobwebs near/inside the light cover? Could it be baby spiders?

Not only are they going to go back to sleep in the dark, if you take them out of the cage and the room is cooler than the cage, they will likely go to sleep too.

I’m old school…so I always have used Rep-Cal phos free calcium powder for the calcium…but many others on here use other products…I’m sure they will tell you. I use it at every feeding but 2 a month. Most people use Reptivite with D3 for those two feedings.
