First Reptile Expo :)

Thanx Dr.O :D Im really happy Henry is alright. He's my boy! lol

Well I believe I had the basking lamp too close to the cage and he burned himself. I changed the bulb from a 50 watt to a 25 watt.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Henry is back to normal his back is fine. However he did loose some of his spines. You were right Dr.O it was a thermal burn.

An update on Henry. He is very active like normal the only thing is he is very scared and quick to move away if I get near which is not like him at al. During feeding time he was always very eager to be fed. Not anymore. He gets very nervous when i open the cage like if I lost his trust. He's...

Ok I will buy some neosporin. Thanx doc for the info I really appreciate it

Oh and another important thing. When i brought him home I put some crickets in because I had not fed him. Anyway he went for a cricket and was unable to reach the cricket with his tongue. Henry's tongue only came out about half an inch! I'm thinking maybe this is from stress?

Yea i think thats the last time i go to that vet. I was not pleased at all and No, no meds :/

He took a sample of some of the yellow stuff and sent it to the lab he will contact me when the info is available. Heres a pic of Henry after the Vet. He has a small cut from the vet when he took a sample.

Alright went to the Vet with Henry and found out what was wrong with him. Only took 200 dollars :o. It was dry skin clumping on his back. The doc took a warm towel and rubbed his dead skin off. Henry is going to be just fine :D

I'm taking Henry to the vet tomorrow so well see what happens. P.S. The bumps look deflated now. They aren't plumpy like in the other pictures. I also Bought a 25W Basking bulb and replaced the 50W Hopefully this will prevent some burning in the future.

Heres some more pictures of his waxy yellowness. I turned off his basking lamp for the time being. I also check the cage on top and it did feel real hot. If I were to keep my hand on the metal it would of burn me too :/

yes they are. So it is a burn mark is what your telling me?

bacteria! oh no! This sucks. I dont even know where to find a vet for exotic animals like Henry :mad:

Could these yellow marks on my chameleons' spikes be burn marks??? :confused: It's only on that one side. Also the lamp is not on the cage its about 3 inches above the cage.

Just give him some time man. He'll eat, he has to eventually. keep doing what you're doing be interactive with him. It's the only way he will get used to certain things. For the calcium I use Repashy Calcium plus every other day on my crickets. Some times you might see some white crusty stuff on...

Dude you need to feed your crickets cricket crack its easy, and healthy for your cham. I bought the 1 LBS and had it for about 3 months now and still have more than half left. http://tikitikireptiles.com/supplies.php?id=48 thats where i got mine order that ASAP and for wet i use to slices of...

Yes its safe. However its a pain in the ass to keep alive. I'm using a plant aquarium T12 bulb to try and keep it alive but its not helping. All of the leaves are falling off! And on top of that, there are little, tiny flies around the plant. They kind of look like fruit flies but are smaller...

:D Thanks everyone I'm flattered. I need to get a bigger cage for him lol. Heres another pic i took today just after he ate his first hornworm
