It's the archival feature of forums I appreciate most. I frequently refer back to my old posts both for my own knowledge and as a kind of journal of my keeping.

All I’ll say is that it sure seemes like Linda was saying “ We don’t use that form here,” to mean she doesnt want people posting it and didn’t want the OP to respond to it. I saw an offer to help, and a rejection of that offer by an admin.

Seems like they broke multiple rules there.

From Camo's perspective, he offered to help. When he requested a form be filled out, he was told the form isn't allowed. Is using the form truly against your rules? Also, illnesses have symptoms and causes. The form allows one to work on both. If a cham is sick, he needs a diagnosis. He...

That is understandable. What is hard to understand is that onc specific way (the form) appears to be banned. If someone wants to help, why rule out their method of assistance?

One other thing a form does is prevents people from answering in the affirmative. A tendency we all have. Exactly, I could've held back posting, but when he wholesale disregarded the benefit of health/husbandry history forms; I took issue. He stated that those forms are not widely accepted...

Exactly. They said they don't ban people for opinions, but they cut off discussion over them. I hope the OP's entire problem was the suppliments, but like many others, it's likely he's doing other things wrong. It's the reason your Dr asks for your medical history on a form before he sees you.

I would just like to point out that his response about supplements was directly in response to the form posted.

IMO, forums are no substitute for veterinarians. But, Facebook is no substitute for forums. Glad places like this exist.

Is it true veiled chameleons don't need misting? Wouldn't that depend on your climates typical humidity?

I just joined the group to check it out. Lol. they are philosophically opposed to medical history forms?!?!?!

Well... His clumsyness got the best of him. It looks like he lost two nails on one of his rear feet. It doesn’t look terrible but I am watching it. Hopefully it didn’t take out then root and it’ll grow back. Cosmic still runs all over the cage screen when I enter the room. He hasn’t...

He's angry! He must have been insanely difficult to force feed. You made a good choice and made good decisions. I don't think this would've turned out the same with a less conscientious keeper.

Having someone gift you a sick Chameleon is like getting hit by an uninsured driver. Its not your fault, but it is your problem. Make a list of your needs and prioritize them. Ask your parents if you can do jobs around the house for extra $. Explain to them that there are certain things...

You can make a dripper by poking a hole in a milkjug. Use a hot needle and poke a hole bottom side and in the top. Its not perfect, but will add a few hours of potential hydration.

I use that dripper in addition to a misting system. For the price, its worth it. If you have no other source of water then you should buy it.

Just want to say OP seems to be doing a very good job in difficult circumstances.

Is the sneeze random? Or does he do it in response to something you do? Cosmic snorts to tell me hes not happy about something.

He was a little bit larger then I expected when I received him. Since, he’s been eating like crazy and growing like crazy. He’s a lot larger now then I thought he would be. I can understand your skepticism.
