Is it stressful for a chameleon when it sheds?

His eye got a lot better. All I did was mist him more and he seems to be fine.

Sorry I didn't realize you were syringe feeding. Well if you ever need to administer medication try the worm method.

I would go back to the vet and ask for a needle. Then inject the medication into a worm an feed it to your chameleon. I bought a nosy be a month ago. One week after having him I had a feeling something was wrong. Sure enough he had parasites. For six days straight I had to give him .1 ml very...

I alternate with the worms.

the ambient room temp is 75 and where the thermometer is its says its 85-90. As far as high traffic, im not really in my room. He basically sees me wake up, mist him a few times and then go to sleep. I handle him once a week to weigh him. I brought him to the vet when I frist got him cuase I...

That's what I thought. Most of the time I see him basking but ill catch him crawling sometimes in the lower part of the enclosure showing his blue coloring. I think the spot where he basks isn't close enough to the bulb. This might be why hes mostly darker colors. I don't think its stress due to...

How many crickets and worms per day should I feed a 7 month old nosy be?

So I have my now 7 month old nosy be one month. When I bought him he had dry skin around his eye. The breeder said he was beginning to shed. When I took him to the vet for parasites the vet checked him out and didn't say anything about the dry skin. I figured he was shedding but it's been there...

Should you directly spray a chameleon. I've seen some posts where they say you should not but ice noticed that if I spray fom the top of the enclosure mimicking rain my Cham seems to like it and he begins to drink. Also if your not suppose do you prevent the direct spraying of your Cham if an...

The temp around basking is over 90s. He use to hang out near the bulb but now he hangs out lower not near it. I agree I think it's too hot. The vet advised me to get a hotter bulb. He only told me this becuase I was mistaking his darker colors for stress colors. The vet said try it. If he's cold...

temps are in 90s now*

My nosy be is six months old and he has been displaying darl blue to green colors with significant barring. I've noticed this after putiing in a cricket feeder and enveloping three sides of the cage with a shower curtain to keep up humidity. I had a 100 watt blb in his cage which jekpt the temp...

the blue bulb is for heat.

I just bought a panther chameleon about a week and a half ago. It has been an interesting week and a half. I took mine to the vet because I thought something was wrong. Turns out he has parasites which I think was induced by the stress of brining him to a new home. This is my first chameleon and...

I don't supplement much. Calcium with D3 twice a week. I would attribute this type of feces to the diet. I also feel the supers are not digested well. I want to begin to feed silkworms. From what I read they are a good staple.

My chams poop looked something like that last week. I had to bring it to the vet to get tested which came up positive for two parasites. Now I'm not saying the reason the poop looks like that is because of parasites due to the fact that when I feed my cham waxworms his poop looked very dark with...

He looks a little stressed to me.
