Does he do it when he's asleep as well? Usually veileds with URI will "squeak" when they are asleep or produce a low hissing sound. My female sometimes does it to me during the day only and thats when my hand is in her enclosure or I manage to spook her by accident.

You could but why mist longer when a shower will basically do it for you? A shower is more direct, does not flood your cage and has proven to be a time-tested remedy for dehydration. Doing it a couple of times a day should help hydrate the little guy up. I am not sure what species of cham you...

I am no vet but my suspicion would lean with mouth rot. I would take it to the vet immediately for antiseptic and antibiotic creams. It is important to note that mouth rot is caused by secondary conditions such humidity, temperature, light, uvb exposure, diet, supplementation...etc It...

Thank you for this thread! It's extremely handy to keep track of my cham's health through his waste :D

I would be concerned about that fecal deposit. The urates are very orange. However that's not runny poop. The liquid is urea which is basically pee. The poop looks solid from the cellulose of the crickets. Runny poop usually looks like bird dropping, dark/light brown and splattered all over...

Thank you all for the responses! From the looks of things it still not a preferred method of administrating UVB light to the reptile regardless of the manufacturing problem or not. The success stories are minor and collectively puts this type of method as a risk factor and I am not willing to...

So i am looking at buying another UVB reflective holder and I was wondering if I could use the coil UVB bulbs instead of the T5 bulbs. I know that coil UVB is not really preferred and I also read some posts which suggest they are fine and that the whole myth of them blinding reptiles was due...

That was my thought as well hopefully it is cause of the baytril and in the next few days she will go back to her normal colors. She just got off baytril so I'll wait 3 days before giving the next medication to give her a small break between the two. I feel that if I continue to force down...

He looks quite healthy to me. When they are dehydrated you can notice his eyes go deep within the socket, the veil also sinks in a little. He looks about 3 months. Usually at that stage bones are more prominent. Chameleons have thin skin and thinner bones

What other possibilities could there be? :confused::confused: The male is positive for coccidia and pinworms as well. His colors are bright, he eats well and drinks also. The female does bask and move around but she's just constantly black and refuses live food. Right now I have been...

I'm glad you think so :) Thank you so much!

This is really amazing work and I am hoping to achieve something like this in my build (without the background, I'm just gonna use cork for that) One thing though, is it possible to attach a normal water pump to a timer and then the pump is placed into a tub full of water, connect that pump...

No she can not. There is a thick cardboard barrier between the two however I am beginning to suspect that she can smell the male and this could be why she feels constantly stressed and gone off food. Either that or the it's the pinworms and coccidia. Btw guys, I could not find 40vol...

I agree with MVAD you should have setup the enclosure before getting the animal. This would just create unnecessary stress on the animal but screw it what's done is done I suppose. I use the HAILEA screen cages. The N11 model seems to be doing my 4month old really well. The reptibreeze...

Thank you guys! They are absolutely priceless to me :D I also find beauty and sadness in my creations. It's a nice feeling of melancholy. However the saddest experience I had was when I was volunteering with LifeMigrate on a sea turtle project and about 30 nautical miles out at sea we saw this...

I wish we had more varieties, like Madagascar :D :D The ones over here are pretty cool though. If I am successful at healing my current veils I might join my local exotic vet who is currently rehabilitating local chams. He makes part of a conservation group called "Nature Trust Malta". I make...

It's not the insides I am worried about. It's the environment and constant cleaning. If I mess up once I need to start from the beginning again :confused: Alright I will pick the 40% stuff Thank you :) Any idea why the female is constantly black ? She has been like that for the past 5days

These are pictures of a baby chameleon I found at my university wondering on the ground within the grass

I have read all the extensive documents that were suggested and read also on the life cycle of coccidia. I have picked up a 500ml bottle of hydrogen peroxide 12%, is this good to use on it's own or should it be diluted? I should be picking up the medication today. The vet yesterday did not...

This baby chameleon was found last summer on the street while doing volunteer work. It was already dead and I suspect it died from dehydration. Since we do not own any dead animal clean up crews and I am a collector of bones, wet specimens and so on I picked this guy up and buried him in...
