With veiled chameleons you can sex them right out of the egg. If it is male, there will be a small spur on the back of each of his back feet. If you're not sure, or want a second opinion, post a pic of the back of his feet.

I am by no means an expert, but if it's been in the same position for two days you may want to help it out of the eggs

Do people take their amphibians to the vet? How would an examination like that go? I'm imagining spray bottles all around because of their skin.

It's normal for chams to get much lighter in color when asleep.

How is their care in terms of difficulty when compared to chams? Or are they not really comparable?

Is that Evan Phillips's Kamo Chameleons? He is a known scammer.

Reptaid is the immune boost. Repta + Boost is a caloric supplement for malnourished chams to help them back to health.

It's hard to say. Sometimes, they just get parasites from a feeder or a dirty spot in their cage and it's really nobody's fault, so that's why a few poop tests a year are recommended

I have mine go off every 2.5 hours for four minutes each session.

Just to add to that, I think it is possible that he has a sinus/mouth infection, possibly because of the reasons Jann mentioned, but also I think your humidity might be too high too consistently. If you can lower the ambient humidity in the room, and mist him a few more times a day, then you...

I tried, I failed, you have my everlasting respect.

She does have some sinus/mouth infection going on. The vet may have to drain the pus. As for your husbandry, the egg laying difficulty (if there really is any) could be related to your lack of proper supplementation. She needs: Calcium without D3 everyday, calcium WITH d3 twice a month, and...

I'm so sorry to hear that! I feel so bad we couldn't help more. I would have a necropsy done to see if they can figure out what happened.

Impaction is basically constipation. It's more serious in chameleons than it is in humans.

Also, if the substrate isn't in the cage then it should be fine, although the fan is not ideal

Hey, I added a response to the previous thread. Didn't realize you had started another. Check that out, and also, it is definitely worth going to the vet. How good is she about being handled? She doesn't necessarily have to go in the box, you could have her perch on your shoulder or something.

I've never seen just the back legs go dark...and the fecal matter hanging is worrying. It is possible that she has impaction, or something large stuck up there that is painful, and that could be causing both the darkness of her hind legs and the disuse. I would definitely take her to the vet...

I'm glad to hear she is doing better. I would still make the changes I mentioned as well. To catch falling water, I use a big plastic tub, so no rust. If you must use a substrate, use coconut husk/coir bedding and you probably won't need the fan after that. Also, did the vet run a fecal to check...

see if what i suggested helps. I think it is related to the length and intervals of mistings

It sounds like there's a bit of ruling out that needs to be done. Can you fill this out: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ Some possible issues could be--parasite, eggbinding, MBD, husbandry issues, etc. We need some more information to give more specific advice, but a vet...
