So my humidity is actually about right then but my temps were a tad low. I had started at mid eighties in the warm end as my chams were pretty small when I first brought them home. Now they're starting to get some decent bulk to them I've (just now) put the heating up a little. I'll put it up a...

I'm reviewing my husbandry after an upper resp tract infection of my female. I'm finding different caresheets saying different things unfortunately. Can you guys and girls comment on enclosure conditions for me please? I've just read one that says to avoid exposing them to humid conditions! I...

Taking her medicine well (good job they growl at you easily! lol ) Nostril looking functional and not too bad, lump on the head still there but we've only just started treatment. The main thing is she is behaiving perfectly normally which is great :) Thanks very much for helping everyone :D

She tried to drain the lump but it wasn't happening and she didn't push it too far. Cham not shaky or any other visable signs apart from the fact I saw her resting on her belly yesterday which I hadn't seen before. I'm cleaning the nostril and the bump with dilluted iodine and we're hoping the...

I haven't heard any wheezing no. I'll be listening carefully though each time I treat her. I'll need to handle her twice a day now so I'll make full use of that and check and closely as possible. There was gunk at the back of the mouth, coming out of the nose and a bit of skin damage around the...

Ah right yeah I see what you mean. That really isn't masses bigger than the ones in the park is it. I think maybe I was thinking of Savanah monitors. Those things are massive!! That's not much smaller than a Komodo !

Ok just got back from the vet. She says upper respiratory tract infection which is obvious really. I have ummmm Batril ? Something like that to treat her with and I've just got the first dose in now and cleaned the messy bits with iodine. Fingers crossed she starts to improve! In the mean time...

I'd have thought it equally dangerous and irresponsible... :)

Oh of course yes.... :) Well, it looks like i'm going to have to choose between the chemist for my pain meds or the vet. Nice. After a mix up yesterday I'm already feeling ill as I'm on morphine :( I won't die though and the chameleon could very well die so the vets it is... Cricky everything's...

Is it just me, or is this moniter VASTLY overfed?! Moniters are supposed to be sleek and fast!? This poor thing looks like an elephant!!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQwvtFNCJAI These people are a big shop too. I think I'd turn around and walk away at the sight of this moniter.... Or...

I've been keeping snakes for years and have a fair few in my snake room. I'm no stranger to how quickly things can get out of hand. I'm just new to chemeleons. :) Reptiles of any kind just need very very careful looking after don't they...

Nope, I take that back, the eye is now swollen and the nostril on that side has errupted with puss which has hardened into a volcano looking mass :(

They do yes but I had put that down to her being in the throes of her latest shed. The folds of skin that allow the orbit to well... orbit lol seem to become a little rigid as the top layer of skin hardens and seperates. I am new to chemeleon keeping but it seems to my eye that the shedding skin...

Got an appointment at five today.....

Yeah it's vet time isn't it. I just looked at some pictures from the last few days and there it is but smaller. Must've been building up for the last week or something until I noticed it. Oh maaan :(

What causes them? Are they treatable with antibiotics of some kind?

Oh man there's another dodgy looking bit close to it aswell :( This doesn't look good :( I'm really worried now :(

My female chameleon (veiled) has a small lump on her head between the eyes that wasn't there yesterday. I'm thinking it's a cricket bite maybe. I'll photograph it in a minute to show you. Has anyone else ever had a cricket bite thier chameleon? Do you have a picture you could show me please? I...

I have one of those carnivorous plants like the one he's sat on, I take it those are safe then? The chams never fall down the "kill hole" ? Looks like yours is getting ready to spew aswell! Pretty soon it'll chuck out enough fine fluffy stuff to fill a pillow lol

Oh that's just the cutest little thing!!! :eek: :D
