Small update.... So despite the fact the linear bulb and housing is too short I gave it a test run at the suggested distance and have been observing the new digital Hygrometer/Thermometer humidity is averaging 50% and temps minus basking bulb are 74 (in fairness I have it maybe a bit more than...

Hey it's a live plant lol .. thats better than NO live plant ( I just prefer real plants and it's to add foliage) he's got tons of actual tree branches in there and other climbing stuff already. I also got a digital thermometer and hygrometer combination because the one that came with his set up...

I'm going to exchange it tomorrow, they gave me the wrong length metal bulb housing for the enclosure I didn't even notice as I was fed up standing in a disorganized line of 10 people. I'm going to swap out the bulb as well for the weaker strength tomorrow.

I should add he went back to the vet today for his followup and she said his color is looking better and she suspects he may have some stuck shed in his eyes, she irrigated them as best as she can and said to really focus on keeping his humidity levels up in the enclosure, I usually hand mist...

T5 10.0 UVB

I was able to get him a linear bulb today found a store open curbside with stock!

Alright guys, I am not being snippy and I am not being rude... I'm not as uneducated as I may seem... Can we please remember we are in the middle of a Pandemic.. everything is closed where I live, including pet stores and supplies are available online only. I realize most vets are clueless...

The bulb is a foot above his enclosure. So you are suggesting I remove all lights from his cage and just allow him his ceramic heat element? Are you a vet?

So to confirm and be sure, you feel that a 13 watt thrive branded tropical reptile bulb will burn the chameleon (this bulb is used by one other person I know with a Jackson, and was also cleared by a reptile caretaker at Menagerie in Toronto.

A standard compact fluorescent.

Hello thanks for you inquiry, my vet has said I am doing a wonderful job with husbandry. :)

Unfortunately yes :(

What area do you live in? we can look up a good vet for you :)

Just cruising by to say OMG he's so wee and adorable! My Cham was never this small since I've owned him......precious!

I posted you a few pics.. one from Friday and one from Tonight.

Is this a vet who has Reptile certification? because it makes a massive difference. You need a reptile vet... If he told you outright "she probably won't recover" I don't think this vet knows their ass from a hole in the wall, he didn't even do any tests? Problem is with these guys.. they don't...

Did your vet do bloodwork on this gal? IMO that is essential to find out what is really going on..

Again I am NO expert but I have learned enough to know that my vets initial blood draw contained lymph fluid and skewed the first labs on my boy. My understanding is that swelling is not caused specifically by MBD but may be a symptom of a kidney issue? someone more knowledgeable can correct me...

Ok this is fair... Sorry a bit defensive because it's been nothing but a struggle (personally trying to get consistent advice on husbandry other than " oh Chameleons are the most difficult do not get one"
