hmm I need to call my vet and ask him what type of parasite it was. I forget but he said it was a single celled one. Panacur to my knowledge is for like worms and stuff but I could be wrong.
We are all lucky there is so many well informed members on this forum. Thanks for the info guys. I will be regularly having fecals done on my Chams from now on.
The title says it all. My chameleon gobbled up a rather large horn worm today and swallowed it up whole. Didn't even chew it. . They usually explode in his jaws. Maybe I am just over reacting...
-it will digest correctly?
-this isn't going to back him up?
Hmm and I could just bring a sample of his feces in rather than bringing the whole chameleon in. I got lucky I took him in because I thot he had an RI because of stringy saliva and he was sleeping vertically...turns out he dosent the vet said a swab isn't even necessary. He pooped on the car...
Hmm my poor chameleon had a minor case of a parasite. I forget the kind I'll call vet tom. Anyways he's on Panacur now so should be fine in five days. . And then administer again in 2 weeks.
My question is what can I do on my part.
I replaced all his feeders and tomorrow I will replace...
I use the outdoor stuff on nearly every feeder. Then I supplement repashy calcium plus (LOD) version 1-2x a week. Some people use it with almost every feed but I gut load very well and dont feel comfortable supplementing my Cham that much
Sorry I don't have an image of mine i'm on the go on my phone.
What I did was go to michaels(arts and crafts store) and get the 5/16th of an inch (.8cm) wooden sticks (44 cents each) I only needed 2 for the latter.
I then bought 12yds of hemp rope for $1.49.
I assembled it how I wanted using a...
Wax worms aren't worms at all, they are larvae for Greater Wax moths. Im pretty sure you can feed these to your chameleon but idk about the nutrients/fat content. Wax worms are like 20% fat or something.

I have cricket crack, bug burger, and Dinofuel(raptor edition) and I can tell you the crickets prefer the bug burger the best. (but that dosen't mean its the best)
-And the color part, I don't think the Dinofuel is going to change your chams color or make it appear anymore vibrant, honestly I...
Sorry to hear about that.
I had a similar experience with my veiled named Sherman, it was devastating losing him. We had him cremated and he now sits above my new chameleons cage :D.
Getting a new chameleon was the best way to fill the void in our hearts at least. Seeing a guy all healthy...
If you want you can use the Repashy Calcium + (LOD version). You can dust this on your feeders a couple times a week. its calcium and vitamins all in one. You should still do your regular calcium supplement daily/every other day.
This is just an alternative, you can still dust d3 2x a month...
Where did you hear that this is the way to go. I have down countless hours or research on here and I haven't seen that.
I'm not saying your wrong, I just want to know where you got this from...
Thanks guys.. You don't understand how much your advice means to me :D I'm so particular and paranoid hehe. Really makes me feel better about my decision to get him
