I just did a soak and when I put Rexy back in the cage, there was a bowel movement starting to happen. I’m just getting nervous because I don’t want my chameleon to get sick. In the picture is what just came out minutes ago.
The Vet tech is the one that called and maybe what they’re trying to accomplish is lukewarm water helping with a bowel movement? I was nervous about it causing too much stress as well. Humidity has steadily been 60 and I’m giving plenty of drinking opportunities with misting and Rexy’s dripper...
@BostonKeith @MissSkittles @Beman @MzLaurie11 Just got a call from the vet on the X-ray results. They said bone mineralization looks good and Rexy is lean. Only thing they noticed is some constipation and advised me to soak Rexy for about 15 minutes in lukewarm water each day until I start...
I've already got two humans that are trying my patience. I hopey Cham takes it easy on me. By any chance, can you tell how old mine might be from the pictures?
I just bought the larger T5 HO and I ways use distilled in the dripper and for mistings. I saw my Cham drinking water today off of a leaf and the vet actually said the eyes looked nice and clear and good. Said inside of the mouth looked good too. Never mentioned any dehydration.
@kinyonga i tried to ask the vet but she said they are very hard to tell the sec at such a young age. I thought I saw tarsal spurs but now I'm not so sure. I do have a lay bin at the bottom of the enclosure just in case. Could you share pictures of the supplements you use?
Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, I’m not sure if it’s male or female, been in my care since 6/27/22 and I believe it’s about 6 months. Still pretty small.
Handling - Not often at all. Only a few times since I’ve had it.
Feeding - When I first brought Rexy home, I gave mealworms and crickets...
@kinyonga my Cham was eating horn worms but then a couple weeks ago I tried and my Cham (still don’t know if it’s male or female) wouldn’t touch it. Although, my Cham just literally ate a house fly that got into the cage minutes ago…
I just took my baby veiled to the vet for a check up and was told the stool sample was negative for parasites and waiting in X-ray results now. When I first brought my Cham home, I had no trouble with hand feeding crickets and horn worms. Now I offer two crickets in a bowl and my Cham has no...
Hello, I just got an XL screen enclosure for my Cham and wondering what wattage and brand I should get for heat? It’s a big enclosure and I feel the bulbs I have now aren’t giving off enough heat. The temp is only 78 F in the basking spot now. :/
Danny, did you have to bring a urate sample with you to the vet? I’m so happy I finally have a Cham. He (I think) is the coolest! He doesn’t let me handle him at all right now. But hoping I can gain that trust over time.
