What kind of Jackson Chameleons are there? I know of Jacksonii, Xantholophus and Merumontana. Are these the only subspecies? What are these "Dwarf" ones I've read of? Are there any photographs that can accurately depict the differences between a xantholophus, merumontana and jacksonii? Some...

Firstly, I want to delete this thread eventually. Perhaps the moderators could just remove this thread entirely in a week or so? It is really bothersome and depressing to just leave this morbid topic here. I just wanted to let everyone know who had been following the updates I have been posting...

Thank you for clearing that up. Tricky would eat every day or ocasionally every other day. There were a few times where he would go two or even three days without eating anything but never any longer than that. I only started to get worried when ten days passed without any food. I was concerned...

I've taken your advice and others' advice - it is difficult to do everything that everyone suggests, and impossible to do all of it simultaneously. Everyone's advice here is unfortunately so conflicting that at the moment I am stuck. Three people tell me I will have to force feed him, one of...

Yeah my chameleon does that when he wants more warmth and does that pretty often when I take him outside and he feels the sun. btw, I luv ur picture.

So you would not recommend giving him a "shower session" even? of course my main concern is him drinking, even above eating. I will stop with the repta+boost and won't give him the gaviscon tomorrow either. But he does feel a bit full and has not excreted anything, feces, urates, fluids. Could...

okay i will do that. I put a towel ina small box wit holes and a stick under the towel. I did this because every now and then he will squirm around and I do not want him getting somewhere in the back corners of the enclosure where I couldn't get to hmi easily, or in time. As for teh RI, that...

I just saw him on the floor squirming a bit, I have him in my hand now. Iis there anything i can do?

Here is a video of him earlier before night. The loud bit of air you will hear is not from, Tricky. I think it is from me actually. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B12ZzMMMtMynMWFQOW1Ec3lrRE0/view?usp=sharing

It has been over two weeks since he last ate anything. The only nutrients he's gotten is the medicine and repta+Boost I've given him. Also, turning dark outside isn't the problem, if anything that's positive. I would often take him outside until two days ago and he would turn dark to absorb...

I also really want to say that he seems incredibly uncomfortable. He seems to be sleeping, then will wake up and either scratch his head or wiggle around and gape. I will try to link a video to show this.

Thank you 1) Just recenty changed the UVB. 2) I just took him out earlier. He honestly doesn't seem to be fond of sunlight anymore. Until just yesterday he'd puff up, turn dark and just sit and bask in the sunlight. BUt now he'll wake up (open his eyes at least) turn around and climb my arm...

Just bumping

Thank you so much for responding. When he would open his mouth I would drop as much water as I could before he would shut it, which would b quite quick. When he was squeaking his tongue was sticking out just a tad bit, I do not really know how it would look if it was "strained." HE looked a...

After analyzing my chameleon's blood we found he has high phosphorus. And likely kidney disease. The veterinarian suggested that I give him 0.05 of antiacids with aluminum hydroxide twice a day. He mentioned Mylanta but all I could find was Gaviscon. I only gave him about one drop yesterday...

Well thank you. I could not find Mylanta so I found Gaviscon, cherry flavor :/ that is all I could find.

bloodwork, I think. That is how we found he had high phosphorus.

Any advice/recommendations at all.

My adult jackson chameleon, after a vet visit, was discovered to have high phosphorous and likely kidney disease. I was recommended to give him 0.05 of Antiacids with aluminum hydroxied twice a day. I just want advice, encouragement and help, as much as I can get. I have kept him allive this...

For those of you who hadn't been following the issue with, Tricky: He stopped eating even though everything with the enclosure, food, etc. was fine. Didn't know why it happened but apparently he got an impaction, gave hi some lactulose, got the blockage out. Even after defecating again, he...
