So glad you're safe! I'm in Northern California and we have been in a similar position several times over the past few years. It's truly terrifying. Keep vigilant and your family (with tails and otherwise) are so lucky to have you. ❤️
Hi there! Welcome to the chamily. It's hard to tell with little ones. Their colors don't start to come in until 7 months or so. What you are looking for is a male will have a hemipenal bulge at the base of the tail. Not the vent on the body, but where the tail connects. I am attaching a picture...
Oh my goodness! So sweet and so exciting!! This is why I will never be able to breed chams. I already obsess over the one I have. If I had eggs/babies I would need to take leave from work because I wouldn't be able to stop watching them and checking on them. Haha.
I'm so very sorry to hear this. Neptune was a beautiful, feisty boy. Watching your videos with Neptune is how my husband picked a panther as our first chameleon. Out hearts go out to you in this sad time. I hope he's basking in the warm light with all the horned worms he can eat. ❤️❤️❤️
The vet says he doesn't think it's vitamin A because he would expect issues with both eyes and the other eye is fine now. I will approach the vet with it again though. Thank you.
Thank you. I will absolutely keep you posted. We bought him from a big box pet store (hindsight is 20/20) and he had issues with his other eye when we got him. It took months to work that out and after a couple of good exams, vet finally determined he had scarring on the edge of his eye turret...
Well, good news!!! Looks like I was wrong and our UVB bulb IS a 6%. Husband thought he we had a 7% for some reason, but I checked the bulb and fixture. We shut the plant lights off after my original post, but his eye still seems to he bothering him. We may be headed toward a specialist the vet...
Hi there cham fam.
Well, I am officially stumped. Paulie has been closing his left eye, only his left eye, in the mid to late afternoons. In the morning, it's wide open. In the evenings while he cruises to a sleeping spot, it's wide open. No issues targeting food. Appetite and feces is normal...
Andrew, I'm so very sorry to hear about your brother. It takes a special person to do what you're doing. I hope your beautiful boys find loving homes. I wish I could help out. Take care. You and your family are in my thoughts.
I'm wondering the same. When chameleons clean their eyes, they puff the turret out in different directions and it's a little alarming the first time you see it. Does this come and go? His eyes aren't always swollen?
