Sorry, I didn't catch that. Just wanted to make sure she was definitely a female, so that needing to lay is a possible diagnosis. I don't see anything wrong with her, sometimes they just go dark like that, and especially if they're basking outside. You may also want to make the tree separate...
Yesterday for the first time, my panther, Captain, WANTED to come out. He saw I had food and got so excited he climbed to the edge of his cage and reached for my shoulder, and then I hand fed him while he sat there.
If only Treecko liked me...he hisses and puffs up at my hand unless I have...
Jade looks ok to me. Do you have a laying bin set up for her? It's possible she is ready to lay eggs. Also, can you get a pic of her back feet from behind?
Whoops! Sorry, I didn't realize he was a juvie. There was a big debate about ambanja crosses and how ambanjas can't have white, and the general consensus was white=cross. Also, Dez is very reputable so I don't doubt his purity.
There is something going on here, and it is more than just impaction. You have to get him to Dr. Greek ASAP. I'm sure you can work something out with the money since it is an emergency.
What does his poop look like? I'm not seeing dehydration in the photos, and if he were malnourished, he wouldn't stop eating unless there was something else going on. Did you notice the sleeping first, or the not eating? I noticed with oliver, my late baby panther, that he stopped eating first...
If your chameleon wants to come out, you are very lucky to have a chameleon that required no training for handling! Handle him as much as you want as long as he still gets the proper water, light, and food. If you have him sitting on top of your head inside all day, he isn't going to get much...
Your chameleon has SEVERE metabolic bone disease/disorder. He needs to get to a reptile vet ASAP. How long have you had him? MBD is caused by lack of calcium and Uvb Rays. He will need calcium injections and supplements, and you have probably not been caring for him properly. Please read this...
As everyone knows, it's always great to get the chams out for some natural sun. My question is, on a cloudy day, is the natural ambient light still beneficial even if they aren't really basking in it?
He doesn't really look fat to me. And your husbandry sounds great. How long has his casque been bent? It could be that he was growing, and it became more defined. Also, what are the dimensions of your cage? In the photos, I feel like it looks like he might've outgrown it, but I can't really tell.
Cricketoids. Heh. I find that as long as crickets have a constant supply of food, they remain quiet. My large cricket bin is in the boiler room because my family complained about the noise, but when I want to do extra gutloading, I will take a bunch and put them in a small tupperware lined with...
From what I can gather, spinach and kale are high in oxalates, which can bind calcium. However, I don't know any more about it so someone else will have to chime in.
It looks like you are doing a mostly great job. It does look like he could use some more space, but that isn't crucial at this point. The leaning and bent casque are both early signs of MBD. What greens are you gutloading with? Spinach and Kale have something in them that affects calcium...
