@Motherlode Chameleon … Exactly what I’m thinking!

This might help…pay attention to the spines on the crests on their backs and the colour of the different areas of the heads… http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulManchen.html

Hope they do well for you!

You already have an answer from @nightanole …and I’ve never used wood sealers on my cages because none ever had wood that needed to be sealed.

You said…”it took me 30 minutes to catch 15 of them”… These might help. It’s one way to set the crickets up so you just lift the tube or the egg crate piece, full of crickets, out of the container and shake the off into a plastic bag…

“These 9 new cases and the previously reported cases (1,3–7) highlight the difficulties in identifying the N. obscura species complex. These fungal infections are likely underdiagnosed because of features shared with more common species, such as Trichophyton spp. or Trichosporon spp. ”…...

“this fungus is difficult to identify on culture as it may be mistaken for Trichophyton, Geotrichum, Malbranchea and Trichosporon. Therefore, it is important to inform the lab of any suspicion of Chrysosporium infection when submitting a biopsy for culture.”…this is quite true…in the beginning...

“In conclusion, clinicians treating lizards with confirmed or suspected dermatomycosis caused by N guarroi should be aware that this microbe may have environmental persistence after exposure to aque- ous and solid substrates. This information should be paired with currently available data on...

You said…”He drank water from the dripper...well, he shoots his tongue at it. Is that considered drinking?”…he would likely get some small amount of water if his tongue is getting dripped on…but it would be better if you could drip the water, at the rate of one or two drops per second, on the...

Turn the light off for a bit and see if he shuts his mouth. Let us know. Does he shut it when you’re not near him?

It definitely is.

So sorry that you lost your chameleon. You did everything you could for him. Sometimes the whole thing is just too much for them to deal with. I can only imagine how painful it might be. Prolapses are one of the hardest things to deal with…it’s not always clear why it happened ..so figuring out...

I’m glad you’re willing to post the “good” and the “bad” about breeding. Like you said, very few people talk about the downsides of it …like the baby losses, etc. Good luck with the all! I always loved seeing babies hatching, growing and worried that they would end up in good homes. Hardest...

Please post some photos of your chameleon from today so we can see all of her from the side. If you’re not following the info @LizardLurkin quoted to you, your chameleon may be heading for reproductive issues. That is not to do with the tongue issue, but needs to be addressed. You should be...
