that sounds normal to me, his growth rate is starting to slowdown so he will start shedding less often. As long as he has enough moister and is still acting normal as well as eating and drinking enough he should be fine IMO, giving him a nice warm misting always helps with shedding as well, but...

found my cord so here are the pics of him i took this morning he still had some skin left to shed off his face,he hates the camera and puffs up when he sees it so it was kinda hard to get a good angle without him puffing up . if he is angled downwards the fluid will fill up around his neck and...

I was giving him rep-cal calcium with d3 almost everyday and rep-cal herptivite with beta carotene once or twice a week. He was 5mths old when i got him and have had him for about 5mths now. He was doing great until this last month. He got a skin infection and was treated with baytril and...

thanx that was a good article. If his tong has become a little calcified and the muscles in it week could this be permanent or will it correct its self after his body works out the d3/calcium overload? Also he is still eating well just having trouble cornering his prey because his tong isnt...

If ive been giving my cham too much d3 and he has a high calcium level could this cause problems with him extending his tong? If so what should i do besides cutting out the d3? (I have more posts with more info on the problem im having)

its time to stop the meds, so hopefully his body will rehydrate and maybe thats all it is, he looks like hes going to shed soon but his skin is dried from the meds ,whats the best way to help him shed easier?

ive been reading other posts and read that baytril could burn the tong, my cham is having probs extending his tong, (i started a thread titled tong problems) it only started after he began an oral baytril treatment to deal with a skin sore, hes been on it for almost 2weeks now and his skin looks...

is there possibly something i can use as a mouth wash to help flush any residue or irritants away and/or help sooth and heal his tong? Im going to stop the supplements for a week then countinue with them sparingly , i will get some calcium without d3, should i be giving him a mineral...

I think i might have an inexperienced vet , i was giving him the emeraid by squirting it in his mouth with a siring no needle of course, the vet said the supplements seemed ok , and didnt know what to say about a tong prob ,how should i flush his tong without hurting him thats probably the...

he eats mostly crickets and superworms, i dust them with rep-cal calcium with d3 usually every day and rep-cal herptivite multivitamins with beta carotene usually 2 times a week, lately i give the feeders frozen mixed veggies usually a mix of carrots, corn, green beans, peas, lima beans and an...

My 10mth old male panther is eating but he is not extending his tong, Its almost like its stuck , he opens his mouth and his tong moves a little but it is obvious he is trying to extend it, so now he is getting as close as possible to his prey items and basically licking them up like a gecko or...

its been a few days since the vet visit, Chubs looks like he is doing ok, his appetite is starting to come back and he seems a little more active, the patches of funny skin seem to be drying up, but he seems to be a little itchy all over, maybe thats a good sign and means his skin is drying up...

OK after talking with the vet she took a tissue sample from his sore. Said of course there is some bacteria present but couldnt see any spores wich is what they look for to identify a fungus, the only way to know for sure is to do a biopsy of the sore and send it out to a few labs and see what...

thank you everyone , I got paid today and im taking him to the vet first thing in the morning, I wasnt trying to be hardheaded I just didnt have the money. All the info i have received will help when discussing my chams illness with the vet , I will be sure that my vet is aware of CANV, witch is...

Im sorry if anyone thinks im being disrespectful i am greatly appreciative to all the info everyone has given me , Jim did give me very good advice, This is my 2nd cham my first was years ago but i am experienced with snakes and monitor lizards, For any skin problems i would do almost the same...
