My panther's colors go a little muted during the colder months of the year. I suspect its 'winter blues'. Keep an eye on him, if your temps are in the right range and he is getting proper UVB I bet they will brighten up in a bit. I did notice his casque is a little puffy, which is often a...

Hi! I'm here too and will offer as much help as I possibly can. If you can share a photo of her x-ray that would be a great start. I am also concerned with how big your girl looks and would be surprised if she did not have eggs. Do you have a laybin for her?

I agree with @Beman, you need to adjust the branches in his enclosure to make sure he is getting proper UVB, without it he will get sick. We are happy to help you get the proper adjustments for your beautiful guy.

Yes I will

What a beautiful boy you have! And fantastic photo of him zapping a fly!!!!

Ponazuril is a great medication for coccidia. Other meds that treat coccidia are sulfa based and are quite hard on the chameleon's little body. I'm glad he was prescribed this one. Do you fog at night? This would be an excellent way to keep him hydrated while he is going through this...

I agree. Note that parasites do not shed oocysts (eggs) all the time so you may have some false negatives.

What medication was prescribed for the coccidia?

I agree with this. Basking temp is too high. This could be the cause for his behavior you are concerned about.

I think misting or using a dripper would be fine. Fogging with high temps would be bad.

I use this AC for lower night temps in the summer...

I don't dare mess with anything that flies so you will have to let me know how that goes!

Did they say how much his parasite load was? Mild, moderate, high?

She is adorable!

Oh she would LOVE flies! There are a couple options, theres BSFL, blue bottle flies and house flies (don't catch the ones in your house, you don't know what they got into)

Well then it sounds like you are doing fantastic! Keep it up!

I don't know if you have a xanth or a jacksonii jacksonii, either way your baby is DARLING!!!! Some tips I have for Jacksons that I'd love to share with you: - They are very passive communicators, many other chameleons will get big and gape at you if you are stressing them too much. Jackson's...

I would grab one of those hand pump sprays so you can still mist your veiled when power goes out. No uvb or lights for a few days isn't going to cause any damage...you could always take your chameleon outside for some supervised outside time to get natural UVB. The biggest concern hearing...

Is your bioactive in a screen enclosure or a hybrid? One trick to see if your chameleon is thirsty is to take a water bottle or one of those red solo cups and poke a hole in it. Place it over the top of the enclosure so it drips down on some leaves for your chameleon to drink. If your baby...

I believe Dubia.com and rainbowmealworms.com both have those. You could also try some bsfl and let them hatch into flies and watch her hunt them down, thats my favorite!
