If she's closing her eyes, it could be the coil bulb. Even though the newer ones are supposedly ok now, there were issues with older ones harming chams eyes to the point of blindness. I personally can't stand coil bulbs of any sort because they give me a headache, so I can only imagine how...

Also, please don't ever take advice given here as an attack. This forum's main purpose is to help you. You should be happy for any advice, even if you already know the basics and it's just a refresher. Kinyonga is one of the most helpful people on this site. She was the one who saw an issue...

I posted on their facebook page and on mine: "Chameleons should NEVER be housed in glass tanks. A 20-30 gallon is too small and they should be housed in SCREEN cages, not aquariums. Please do not buy any animals from Reptile City until they get their husbandry and care sheets corrected to...

It looks like you have a Schefflera Actinophylla. That is considered to be a toxic plant to chameleons. Check under resources at the top of the forums for safe plants. That one is listed as unsafe...

Oh as soon as the wood was dry enough to touch, I put my cages together and attached all the branches and stuff. I waited a month to put the cham in though, because it still smelled like stain/poly for about a month. You can check out how I put mine together here...

What kind of plant is that?

I use lower wattage household bulbs in the summer, 25 or 40 watts.

I have a friend of a friend who rescued a Veiled chameleon last year with pretty severe MBD. It was her brother's chameleon and he never had a UV light. She never took him to the vet and this chameleon is still alive. He's now about 2 I think, so it is possible for a chameleon to live with...

Oh how adorable! I remember when my little Pepper was that size, well he's big now and still cute, but babies are the best :D:eek::cool:

That's what I used on all of my cages and they are holding up against the water very well. I used 2 coats of stain and then 2-3 coats of poly, as thick as possible and then let them dry for about a month.

UV bulbs on LLLReptile are $20 with $10 for shipping. I have both real and fake plants in my cham cages :)

That's digustingly creepy lol. I am now going to have nightmares :eek:

Yeah I made the mistake of buying 1000 supers once. It was kind of gross. Not as disgusting as crickets, but I can only deal with supers in smaller quantities like under 500. They don't really smell when they're alive, but boy do dead ones reek. They look really creepy in the stage between...

I love these, hilarious! :D

I finally found some saline with no preservatives. I used that to flush both of his eyes. He had his good eye open but has still been closing the bad eye. He did open the bad eye for awhile after I used the saline. Here are some pics: bad eye: good eye: drinking...

Hi everyone. I haven't had time to post anything in awhile, but I'm having an issue with my panther chameleon's eyes. Drac, my nosy be panther has been closing one of his eyes off and on and has been trying to clean it out (bulging, rolling it around, etc). I've been having serious issues...

Why are people bickering over this guy helping an injured chameleon? Maybe it's someone's pet. I would be devastated if any of my animals got loose, got injured, someone found them, and then just left them to die. I would hope in that situation whoever found them would take care of them and...

I am not good at describing things in a hurry, so when I quickly typed "tried to drain," I meant "looked at his face and determined that there is nothing to clean out, there is only inflammation." When I told her that it wouldn't be liquid, she said it was only inflammation. I would hope a vet...

I told her that it wouldn't be liquid, it would be harder puss in the lump and she still said it's just inflammation right now. He ate normally yesterday even with his mouth like that so I'm not worried yet. If it still looks like this next week, I'm taking him back and will make her cut it...

I just got back from the vet. She said she doesn't think it's MBD because only the one leg is bent and that it's a fracture that is already healed. His other limbs are straight but he has stretchy skin that kinda hangs weird. Is that normal for Jacksons? I've seen pictures of other ones and...
