So sorry it's been so long. Living where I do I couldn't get him into a vet..there aren't many vets out here that know anything about chameleons. I believe it was a parasite that he had though. I tried the laying bin, force feeding, hydrotherapy, natural sunlight, changing his bulbs, everything...
The black has spread and is covering him now and he sleeps all day almost..he won't eat still and has let me take him out with n problem and is sleeping on my hand as i type..which is NOT like him at all :( I don't know what to do!
Yeah I meant Ive used the same brand bulbs since Ive had him, I just switched them out a few weeks ago actually and that's also about how often i dust their crickets, but I will try and change up the gutloader a bit. He's finally moving around a little bit more and I see one less cricket in his...

haha its so freaking cute! And yeah i figured. Im taking stool samples in to the vet today actually. They are WC, so i figured having parasites would have something to do with the smell...i had to put 3 poop samples in 2 plastic bags and then wrapped it in foil, before i brought it in my car..it...
My chameleons are both eating regularly (crickets mostly and some superworms), with the right vitamins and calcium. They drink water all throughout the day. They're poop however smells like the inside of a rotton egg, to say the least. It's horrible. Its always brown with a bit of white at the...
ok yeah I figured bare may be the best. My chams dont get too big, about 7 inches at most, and their cage isn't big enough for a big potted plant, but we are working on putting some live small plants and vines in there. Thanks a lot guys! Also, we have a feeding cup in there and its in the...
I was wondering what most of you put on the bottom of your cages? right now we have a screened terrarium with this bark like substrate on the ground (pet store used it, so we just stuck with it) But I hear a lot about the Chams accidentally eating it and choking on the substrate. I've heard of...
the bigger one will only eat when we hand feed them, so far neither has eaten out of the cup that's been sitting in there..the crickets are dusted with the vit. d3 calcium. We have a UVB light and then a red heat light. No basking light..is that necessary, even though its warm enough in there...
i figured i would have to seperate them. They came together and we got them along with the terrarium and lights so they wouldnt even have to move to a new tank. They are always sitting by eachother, the little one sits ontop of the bigger one and they seem fine, no puffing up or anything, so we...

my bf and i got 2 juvenile senegal chams a week ago. The smaller one was very active and friendly while the other slightly larger one wanted to be left alone and sleep most of the time. (i figure she/he was stressed after moving) It's been a week and they have both shedded and now swtiched...
