Is it hard or soft? First thing to do is to feel the consistency, and determine if it is painful. A vet could get an aspirate and get an idea of what it may be. I think we'd be guessing otherwise.

I believe after the first hatch you lose the title novice. That's exciting. Good luck and post lots of pictures. -Joe

Sorry to hear about your loss. Just wanted to say that if you are still interested, don't give up on chameleons. I would recommend an older animal. Whoever sold such a small animal to a novice keeper bears responsibility as well. Veileds are relatively inexpensive and you can get an older more...

Looks like keratoconjuctivitis sicca (fancy word for dry eyes) we see in dogs all of the time. In chameleons most likely due to vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is required to maintain glands and ducts. Without it you get no tears and no drainage. Eventually you get ulceration and infection. It...

Scott Stahl is a well known reptile vet and does a lot of chameleon work. He would be highly recommended.

The size of the animal and the location make this quite difficult to treat. Is it a fracture or dislocation and are the teeth damaged? The good news is young animals heal quickly. If you have an experienced reptile vet in the area I would go there. Its not an emergency and you can make an...

Where there are a couple ants, more will follow. Not sure I'd recommend feeding them to a chameleon for the same reason I don't recommend bees, wasps and spiders.

You really need to fill out the https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/. Temperatures depend on the type of chameleon, sex and age but your temperatures are way to high for any species. For baby veileds the temperatures at basking should be 85 degrees and ambient should be 72-80...

Check temperatures. Higher temperatures will make the containers fog. Just a suggestion. I'll be waiting to hear what the experienced keeps say as well.

Don't let them get away with simply giving you medicine without describing exactly what the medicine is for and what they think is going on. Infection is too vague to really know what he means. Infection of what by what? If it was infection did he offer bloodwork to confirm or did he just assume...

Looks like a "sperm plug" and a partially prolapsed hemipenis. As the others have said shower or misting to gently try to dislodge the plug and hopefully the hemipenis with naturally withdraw. Sometimes this is indicative of low humidity but can be a sign of vitamin A deficiency. You may want to...

Armed Forces Pacific is your military mailing address. Okinawa is still Japan and you will need to follow Japanese laws for importation of animals. They do not require inspection or quarantine for reptiles but to be safe you may want to contact them at...

Excellent video. Congratulations on the National Geo collaboration. Its a dream of many.

Regular cicadas can remain larvae for 2-5 years and feed on tree root sap. This not an insect you can propagate in the basement. You can find newly hatched ones on tree trucks in late evenings. If your chameleon is large enough they can be fed to them.

Chameleons have temporal glands at the corners of the mouth that produce a mucoid product. Many think it is a scent gland that attracts insects. They can become impacted or infected. If it is not causing a problem then I'd just be aware.

A photo would help and fill in the https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ If it is respiratory it could be bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral. That is really something you need a vet for. You could see if there is an emergency veterinary service in your area. They may be able to help...

You may want to check out the https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/. Glass aquaria are not good for chameleons. A screen cage is generally recommended. Plain calcium should be your main supplement with twice a month calcium with Vitamin D3 and twice a month with a...

Thanks for the reminder. Yes it seems ponazuril is the new drug of choice and has been used safely in reptiles including chameleons. Been a long time since I dispensed meds. My main point was cleaning the environment.

I'm awesome but don't live in Indiana. Temporarily in Texas. Energy drinks (and sugar?)...are you a programmer?

LOL I've said that after my 25th birthday. And more than a dozen times before and after that.
