Well that is a relief tht it could not be that. But i will definietly be taking him to the vet for a checkup since he is from petsmart and i feel they are less cared for then online breeders now tht im looking more into it. But i still love my little guy and just want him to be okay, ive been...
are there any steps i can take to reverse an early infection by myself? Ive read a few things of a few mins outside a steamy shower might help, but again im new and still learning and dont want to make a mistake which will end up being doing more harm then good
no i had callled a few before i got him and they went out of their way to tell me tht chameleons by me arent very popular so the vets are not to experienced
i have called a few vets before i got him so i would know where to go and alot of vets tht had experience are 2 plus hours away which is not an option considering i would have to ask parents for ride
ive only had him for 2 days in my house, tomorrow being the third. and its not the often maybe once every hour or 2. He seems to be gaping less due to the heat change i made, but he still puffs out and will sometimes pop
do you think he will last till next Thursdays appointment or do you recommend an er visit? I dont know if i can do an er visit since they are very pricey and starting at 250 and considering he is under petsmarts warranty for 2 weeks idk what the right move would be.
i saw those but i didnt know if they were ment to replace a mister system or bottle method, but now tht i know its for night im gunna need to get that to, little buddy is spending more money then i am.

any recommendations on how to keep it that high with no plant and still misting less often? i dont usually mis tht long as i have no substrate to really soak anything up right now. I severely underexpected the expense of owning one of these little guys.
I usually only spary for 30 seconds or so...
i have not noticed anythig like this but i will be checking. like i said i am home most of the day so i can really look at his habits right now and get a good idea how to raise these guys
humidity is also between 50 to 75 during day and im misting about once every 1 or 2 hours due to me not having a ficus or other safe plant in their for him right now
also he has been drinking fine for the 2 days in my care, i have little dripper and am home most of the time with online school so misting isnt a problem since he is right next to my desk to keep me company
i have a 60 watt daylight bulb with blue hue, i know its not the best but all my household lights are 6 watts or so. But its about 88 at the top but the light fixture is already about 4 to5 inches above cage and uvb is aslo tube arouynd 4 inch from top. The uvb is reptisun 5.0 18in
Just bought this little guy from petsmart yesterday and he has been pretty calm and not really to active in his new cage, as it is alot bigger then the one at the petstore i figured it will take him a day or 2 to warm up to it. But he hasnt eaten since bringing him home didnt know if this should...
