Oh, one more thing I'd like to add before I let this thread die: The vet said to let them soak for 1 hour every session. I'm about to throw away my "instructions" and I wanted that "data" to be saved somewhere before I do.

Just showing off my Christmas present ❤️❤️❤️ She's from the Johnathan Hill line

Thanks everyone!

I thought it sounded way off. Thanks for the second opinion! Dr. Leor Shuflita at Exotic Animal Hospital of Orlando

There is an exotic vet in Orlando that told me that my helmeted chameleon probably passed of kidney failure and that I should have soaked him in water that covered his vent 3x a week. She said that it's "a new study that hasn't hit the forums yet." I asked her for a source and she said she would...

Please do! Sorry I blanked and didn't check my notifications in time. But it looks like you had a great time. :)

I've lived in FL for 15 years. What kind of wildlife/ habitats do you like?

But also cute!!!

It's okay. They are invasive ;)

I've had similar experiences with a vet that knows about the pet's health but not their sex. I would think that they see so many cases of MBD (or whatever) that they specialize in THAT but not necessarily in chameleons.

What about the dark spot on the tail; was that a burn also? Is the skin hard or normal?

Thanks! I want to use them to do an informal study on how maternal parasite infection can affect the offspring. I don't have access to all the fancy tech but I'm hoping to at east get some antidotal data and vet records to see if it's something I should pursue further. I know that sounds...

Fogger and humidifier at night. I used to use a fountain because I thought I could keep up with the cleaning but it's entirely too much work so I'm switching to a dripper. She went through a phase where she quit eating. I got worried and gave her a couple doses for the liquid Mazrui diet. Turns...

I wanted to add these photos to the thread as it's especially fresh. Also, she's been on a wetter, than normal diet lately and this is the result. Jumbo Jackson.

Is there any over the counter prevention med or de-wormer med? I know... silly question.

It was examined but they determined that the wound wasn't as deep as the liquid loss made it appear. No interference. Idk if that was the right move or not (the vet hadn't seen this before either). It seems to have worked out though.

Sorry to leave yall on ice! I was busy with the vet and babies and in complete freak out mode.... Update: mom and all 14 babies are all alive and well. It appears that the mother was rubbing her side on the cage walls and foliage while walking around giving birth. Something presumably was rubbed...

Guys, I need immediate help. This female (in the message I'm replying too) just had babies this morning and I'm ready for them (yay!) But... her side popped in the birthing process. Some blood but mostly whiteish/ yellowish fluid is coming out. Obviously I'm on hold with the vet rn.

Nope. Just the topical... should I be worried?

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update for future cham owners to reference: I took her to the vet. They used a 25 gauge needle and an upward wrist "flick" to open the bubble. The "puss" was pushed out and put on a slide. It is bacterial. The toe is being treated 2x a day by diluting a...
