    Aspiration/Syringe feeding

    When I called yesterday the vet & techs in weren’t available. The receptionist gave me the best info she could but I just thought it might be a good idea to check the forums too…I have a pretty good exotic vet w/ specialized veterinarians but since it’s the only practice in the state that still...

    Aspiration/Syringe feeding

    I generally have been aiming for small drops at the back of the mouth, today my hand slipped and I ended up squirting about 1/3rd an ml of carnivore care onto his tongue. My main concern is that because he is still lethargic from surgery (only a few days out), he may not have been showing...

    Aspiration/Syringe feeding

    My cham is currently dealing with a very bad liver infection that required surgery (unfortunately based on how advanced it is, he has likely had it since before we rescued him & has been hiding symptoms until he couldn’t anymore as reptiles do) and he is being syringe fed. I normally give him a...

    Enclosure/Husbandry feedback

    Thank yall for the advice! I’ll definitely be investing in a UV meter to check so I can correct it if it’s wrong. I love the idea about the pothos. That’ll open up room for a ficus too! When I originally got him this scared me a bit because I didn’t know if he’d bite the leaves a bit (I know...

    Enclosure/Husbandry feedback

    I posted around a year ago about how I was rescuing a panther cham from a facebook ad & that it turned out that he was being horribly mistreated (almost no water let alone misting, lots of force handling, tiny petsmart enclosure, fake plants, the whole nine yards…at least they didn’t put a cup...

    RO vs RODI

    Completely agree, was just curious as to what people here thought about it because when I put RODI into the search bar it seemed like there are some that use DI

    RO vs RODI

    Hi all, I currently have an RO/DI membrane for my fish tank. For misting and fogging of reptiles I am currently using distilled water, but I plan on getting a separate RO membrane for misting & fogging. In the reef tank community, the general consensus is that while RO water is safe to drink...

    Bioactive substrate/soil

    Here’s a couple pics of him. He’s pretty friendly and willingly hops right onto people’s arms even right when we got home so at least there’s some good w the bad. And I’ll look out for it in case I can get the fecal early Whatever was happening w his nostrils is gone now, but I think it...

    Bioactive substrate/soil

    Just picked him up and the person that had him before had really improper husbandry and a very undersized enclosure (they said it was 48” but it wasnt) :( Gonna grab one of these enclosures (https://tamura-designs.com/collections/arboreal-large-enclosures/products/48x24x48) and get him in right...

    Bioactive substrate/soil

    I know most people are prob good at it but DIY stuff just always blows up in my face. With my animals I’ve always gone by safe and spend a little more than make my own and have my luck kick in and something be wrong lmao. Plus always good to support places that make safe plants easy to access...

    Bioactive substrate/soil

    So basically, as long as I set it up right neherp’s V2 is good? Amazing Also appreciate the concern. Prob should have made clear, I’m adopting him from someone that doesn’t have the time or resources to properly take care of him. She has him in an adequate sized mesh enclosure with a bare...

    Bioactive substrate/soil

    Hi y’all. Been lurking for a while and studying up, finally getting my first panther chameleon this Sunday. I’m almost completely prepared, but I want to go bioactive because of the many benefits. I have 2 other reptiles that I have in bioactive enclosures, one being a bearded dragon and the...
