Wondering what the vets said it is that’s wrong with your chameleon?

Michael Nash is aka @javadi on the forum. Chameleons hatching in the wild…

She may not lay for a few nore days then. It’s usually about a month from showing receptive colours to laying. It’s not written in stone though. I use washed playsand in the lay bin. The best sand I have found is produced by King’s and comes in a white bag with red, blue, yellow sand box toys...

Cute to see them all eating…

How many days ago did she get her receptive colours?

I forgot to mention…the cage floors were left bare so the chameleons didn’t accidentally ingest soil or other things that might be used in a substrate on the floor of the cage. Misting the cages, using real plants, etc. kept the humidity in the right range. (Back then, fogging was not used to...

As @MissSkittles has indicated Chameleon Academy is an excellent source of great information on every aspect of chameleon keeping. This might help. Bill has been studying them and working on husbandry, etc for many years! You said…”My dr also believes that even baby chameleons signs only ever...

I don’t see any reply from you @Delray .

She definitely looks gravid….I hope she’s not eggbound. Does she have a lay in in the cage? I see a lot of dirt, but I can’t see how big it is.

I’m not a vet…but I would say infection. I would take Jerry to a good chameleon vet to have it checked U will likely need to get it cleaned out and get a test to see what bacteria is involved so Jerry can be put on an appropriate antibiotic.

Oops…forgot to say, they are all beautiful and full of character!

I’m not sure why your chameleon is doing that right now..but a checkup with a good chameleon vet is a good idea. I can tell you though, that I would remove the moss and replace the artificial plants with real non toxic well washed one asap. Veiled females are famous for munching...

It’s always amazing how well they can hide from view, isn’t it!?!

Imagine this…a nurse who is an addict! Know who I’m talking about? 😘 They are also lucky to have ended up with you!!

I’m not a vet, but I’d bet on it being an abscess…definitely I’d get it checked out by a good chameleon vet.

Here is some information on UVB lighting…take it for what it’s worth… “The “proper” UVB is not a bulb, but a deliberate UVB exposure map within the cage using an effective bulb, fixture, basking branch, and distances to achieve the goal.”… https://chameleonacademy.com/uvb/ This is an older...

You said…”I have thought the temperature difference and the eggs not being in a clump all touching eachother could not be the reason because I see people put eggs in neat lines, apart from eachother, all the time for chameleons and all other reptiles. And they pretty much always are reported to...

Regarding desynchronized hatching…I have a few thoughts on it..but not much. In the wild, all the eggs are laid in a “pile” in a hole in the ground…so they are touching and able to communicate with each other. In captivity, we lay them in rows, spread apart somewhat…so they don’t have the...
