Me lurking on the thread for inspiration while trying to think of a good caption (couldn't find any for this one 😂). Maybe "Angry Stick"?

Twins!

Happy Hatch day! 🎉 He looks so cute in those pics 😊

So cute! He looks like a pufferfish 😂🐡

If you had two of them plotting together 😂: 'Pinky: “Gee Brain, what are we gonna do tonight?” Brain: “The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"'

For some reason it looks like he's sitting at the bar 😂 "I'll have my usual"

Upside down curl 😁 Happy Tail Tuesday!

I'm not sure if this will work since he's ignoring the hornworm, but ever since I've been feeding my veiled silkworms his urates have been almost completely white (usually 1 silkworm per day--he's not fully an adult yet I think so still growing). I've only seen mine drinking once, and for other...

Hi all! I thought I’d give an update: Wisto seems to be doing better and has grown a lot (you can see the difference compared to when he first was with us in the first pic). He does still gape from time to time (with his mouth very slightly open), so I’ve started putting ice packs on the top...

Ok that makes sense--he ate more today (4 waxworms mixed in with 3 BSFL and 1 mealworm) so it seems to work for now. Will try those and see how it goes, thank you In terms of the vet recommended supplement: I had been dusting all feeders with plain calcium at every feeding from when I got him...

Thank you! I did get the fecal and blood results back today: negative for parasites on the fecal, and blood results were normal (minus "decent" but not ideal levels of calcium given the deficiency he's being treated for). Recently I've seen that his tongue doesn't shoot out as far as it used to...

Thank you again for all the help so far. Still haven't gotten the fecal test results back (and also still waiting on the blood test results). In the meantime, I got UVB test cards to see if maybe the UVB bulb is part of the issue. For these cards (got them from...

Made the changes: thank you very much for pointing that out! Seems like he's not gaping anymore, at least that I saw. I'm running the basking light only 8 am to 1 pm these days. The distance between the quad and nearest branch is around 8 inches now per your guidance too. Next step is the...

Could be that he's annoyed, good point. I'm looking into raising the cage so he's higher than me. He was gaping when I wasn't around (I would hide and look at him when he likely couldn't see me and he was still gaping)

Thanks for the suggestion--I have a vet appointment for tomorrow and will ask that they take a look at his mouth specifically. He's been gaping less since I made the changes to the branches, but definitely worth a look given the decrease in eating

Thank you for all the advice--agreed on the second fecal and will get that done, as well as buying the discoids. And yes please on the vet recommendations: it's my first chameleon and I wasn't able to find any other chameleon-specialized vets in the area on arav.org (even if just to get a second...

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Ordering some dubias, BSFL, and/or silkworms is definitely on my list for this week. Edit: or another species of roach since dubias are illegal in Florida

Hi all--I have been reading the threads on here, and wanted to make sure I made any husbandry changes since my chameleon Wisto hasn't been acting as usual lately (gaping last 2 or 3 days). Sorry for the long post but hopefully it has all the info needed. I would very much appreciate a review if...
