I am pretty sure it was a Vitamin A deficiency mixed with dehydration . . . which is odd because I gutload carrots and kale, I have an hourly automatic mister, and I give her a good mist in the morning and afternoon. This is the second time in her life she has gotten nearly fatal dehydration . ...

Do they ever beat the infections by themselves? I am wondering if she could get over it before the vet appointment

When my cham started basking today she had her eyes closed so I thought that was weird. When I got home I notice she as in the same spot (she may have moved and just come back to it, or maybe not) and when I walked in her opened her eyes, but kept blinking them. When she blinked, I saw that...

If it's not the humidity then it is probably the heat, because they live in room temp and I know they need higher temps to breed. Hopefully they will during the summer though. Is there a specific food that they can eat they encourages breeding or can I just keep feeding them kale, carrots, etc.?

Maybe I should stay away from them then, because since I live in a desert with next to no humidity, the dubia roaches don't really breed. I even struggle getting my cham's cage to a moderate humidity level, which is dealt with by lots of mistings. I will look into getting the cleaner beetles...

My cham does the exact same thing. Her internal clock is so solid, if I turn her lights off half an hour early in the evening, she wakes up exactly half an hour before her lights turn on in the morning!

I am in need of some dermestids because during the winter I can't clean the roach bin as often (we have loads of snow/rain) and I think a cleaner crew would be very beneficial. I don't know how many I should buy, though. I was thinking about 25 beetles. I have a medium storage bin, not huge, but...

Thank you so much. I still don't get why multiple chameleons have it, but maybe it's just when they hold it in an odd or specific position. As long as it's not hindering her movement or causing her any evident pain, I think I should just leave it be. If I see swelling or something, to the vet we...

Thanks, I will do that!

I just noticed a little bump hear my cham's shoulder and I haven't seen her neglecting that leg or anything, so I didn't think she had any pain, but it only shows up in this position. I apologize for the blurry picture. Is it the equivalent of a shoulder blade? Or time for a vet? I also have...

If they are chameleon safe, I don't think it would matter but the problem is sap. Living trees often leak sap for some time after they are cut and that wouldn't be fun with a chameleon. I would cut some, let them dry out for a week or two, clean them a bunch, and then try putting them in your...

Can you post a pic? That's just mineral deposit, and it isn't fatal or anything. It usually happens to most chameleons. It is good that you don't overload the calcium, because some chameleons are more susceptible to mineral deposits than others. Especially if it comes off with a good mist, it...

Wow, they look so incredible.

Oh yeah I guess I forgot to clarify, extra misting on the plants, not directly. ;)

Extra misting helps

Do you feed him like this every day? It depends on their age, as juveniles should be fed quite a lot. Adults don't need as much. For example, I only feed my female adult veiled about 2-3 times a week. But, she often goes down and hangs out beside her food bowl, sometimes mere hours after she has...

CF isn't the same without her :confused:

I know a few members have contact with her. She was having tablet troubles, but I would think she would have resolved those by now. Perhaps @jannb knows more

Do they come with the crickets when you buy them? Because in that case they might be some kind of cleaner crew . . . This source seems similar to your situation but correct me if I'm wrong: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/cricket-larvae.162797/
