Are you going to be at the Pomona reptile show by chance?
Am looking to get a new guy and you helped out so much on my other thread so I thought I'd return the favor any way I can
I was looking to get another chameleon and the prices are so high!!! I have purchased from a breeder in the past who is a sponsor here and they were always a premium but not sure if I can afford from them this time around.
It's a bummer because I have all the case and infrastructure but I...
OK, I think this will hopefully be of help to someone in the future who may stumble across this in a search so I'm going to keep this going as I find out more information.
Here is data from the 2 govee thermometers I have in my cage.
The basking temp probe is one of those small displayless...
So I typically buy from Dubiaroaches.com but definitely had my local pet store (that gets them from a distributor but they are already counted out and packaged so not like a cricket bin with 1000's in there.)
I agree, I wish I could have gotten a fecal... it was on my list and even time I would...
Didn't want to start a whole new thread for this and maybe @MissSkittles or @Beman can point me in the right direction...
I have a Dubai colony going but let's assume for a mintue that it may have been bacterial or parasites from his feeders. (I guess they could have been any of the...
OK everyone, looking for some insite and some new ideas.
I've attached a picture of my enclosure and despite the half alive plants and branch setup... since that will all Probably change, what would be part of you're ideal enclosure?
my chameleon passed today and I'm not sure why so to combat...
Well guys and gals; thanks for all you're help. He didn't make it.
Went to check on him and he had passed.
Hopefully I'll get the courage to get another one at some point since I have so much invested into his setup.
It happened so fast too, that's what I think bothers me the most is that I...
OK vet is able to see my tomorrow 2pm.
I'll do my best to keep him going until then but im not optimisticat this point. I'm hoping we can get a determination about URI or Parasites tomorrow.
Either way it will be a hail marry at that point but fingers crossed because he is just so weak.
No other symptoms; mucus is clear and sticky however.
No bubbles, no head raise, no labored breathing.
Good news is he is still alive, super weak, but his eyes are clear and responsive when he opens them.
I took him outside today in the sun for 15min on my hand, he moved a bit and...
Can't help with the sleeping or anything but I can tell you the UVB bulb will be a hot topic with people.
You need a 24in long t8 or t5ho uvb bulb not the compact twisty style.
Found another vet, put in a request through their website but will call in the morning to try to squeeze in.
However, in the mean time;
Here is a video of me trying to get his mouth open. Mucus is hard to see amd this time, of course, was in the corners
Of his mouth.
When I it earlier with...
OK gave some water off advise of
Someone else. Got his mouth open. Lots of clear mucus. Is that an RI?
No other symptoms of that; looking up, labored breathing, popping/crackling.
Im Located about an hour north of corona without traffic.
vet appointment Monday but not sure he'll last that long.
I ran the mister for 5min on you're recommendation and no response from him.
He was moved however from where I left him (got called into work) I was sure he would be gone by...
He's doing the hanging by his tail and hind legs thing again.
I'll be suprised if he makes it the day at this point.
Edit to Add; is eyes are open and responsive however so who knows
Thanks for all this!
I'm going to turn off the basking lamp for a few days (I have a sansi LED grow light so it does produce some heat as well.
Just need to get him eating and active again.
I'll up the 2nd misting to see if I can't get more hydration
Well good news is he's still alive but didn't move from the spot I put him in last night.
before he settled on a spot he did get himself into that virticle hanging position 2 more
Times and I moved him every time.
Not sure if that is an indicator of anything or not
This morning I turned the...
