I’m not sure if there are negative effects from using tap water/what minerals they have in it. That’s why I use spring. I’m sure others will give some more advice on the topic of using tap water or how to purify your tap. Or you can always buy spring in the meantime.
Hey @Wisto&Co the Mistking is by far the best automatic spraying system I sadly have the thrive automatic misting product but I never use it I just use my sprayer. From my experience with what I use I don’t get ANY buildup from the water I use, the only water you will get buildup from is tap...
@elizaann2 I think your photo was the best off first look most definitely(not to disappoint others competing) but you/your chameleon did great I’m sure your one of if not the top contender.
Happy new year everyone I wanted to start this post by saying a few things about Iris, she loves car rides, she also loves chin rubs and attention, she has been warming up to our family after mistreatment from the pet store, new year new life for Iris ❤️
Feel free to interact and post pictures/a...
It is normal for most people to have to travel to get to an exotic vet, you can find your nearest one in an unlikely emergency situation by obviously searching the internet and making some calls. Make an informed decision on the vet you choose some aren’t as qualified as others. (nearest vet for...
With do respect to @Beman I am also stating for the record he is correct, it is technically pointless to feed your chameleon fruits/veg. The fruit/veg should be fed to the feeders that is mandatory, feeding your chameleon extra fruits/veggies is optional and while their may not be science that...
This is all gotten aside from the point this chameleon needs seen by a vet. It could possibly be anything. Our advice is just advice your vet will ultimately decide. I will leave the rest for others to comment.
I agree with what others have said. There may not be science to prove it can help the vitamin deficiency but feeding your chameleon diced collard greens and carrots is a treat that most veiled chameleons love. Now if you have a panthers that’s different, veiled will eat fruit/veg let them...
Also just stating this for the record I did not recommend any fruits or veggies. I asked do you offer your chameleon fruits and veggies. My recommendation would be as said in my prior post to dice collard greens and carrots to a very refined dicing them into near rice sized bits would be ideal...
You also received great info from me @Kodyf rather beman agrees or not your chameleon can break down diced collard greens and carrots easily to help a vitamin A deficiency you can actually dice them and mix them with in with the feeders breeders do it all the time. Not to argue with @Beman but...
I agree with @MissSkittles, the red bulb you’re using can potentially cause blindness. Incandescent bulbs are the preferred bulb for a chameleon but reptile basking bulbs from your local pet store also work. Just make sure it isn’t daylight blue, red or colored as those all cause eye problems in...
I will leave the husbandry review and what other think to the rest. Everyone here on this forum helped me fix my veiled chameleons husbandry, so of course they will probably help you as well. Once you’ve put it back together post some more photos for the others to take a look and give advice. I...
I would take him to a vet if you’re financially prepared for a visit as the most safe decision they can properly diagnose it. It still could be a broad range of things. I’d still throw in that reptivite with d3 it’s $10 at your local pet store and replace his calcium with d3 that you give him...
I don’t think that is the issue still though. I think obviously a vet would have better knowledge to diagnose this. But from my knowledge if he isn’t sick it is either his supplements/vitamins being off or his basking area/uvb is not correct.
My recommendation(I have a veiled) I would spray the cage twice a day. Once in the morning when the lights come on and once after the lights go out. Spray for 2-4 minutes until you reach %90-100 humidity.
