Sometimes, but when he first did it it was to get that shed of his chin as he was also rubbing his face on the sticks, so I’m not sure if it’s still to get that shit off because there is still shed under his chin or if it’s related
I’ve noticed him doing this a cpl times only when basking. Not sure if hes just trying to get closer to the heat or if its a respiratory thing. Any suggestions? Took him to the vet the other week, he will be getting meds for coccilda or smth, then intestinal parasite. Not sure if i should have...
Unfortunately i only had hornworms, mealworms and crickets available at the time. That poop is most likely from crickets and mealworms. Just got a few silkworms today from a place I found. He was being picky and would only go for the mealworms instead of the silk. He had 2 mealworms in the...
I found this in his cage about a few days after the first time we got them. Haven’t seen this since his urates have been otherwise normal. but again just now I found this in his poop. It’s like clay texture and colored. Does that mean he’s dehydrated? we just got a water dripper the other day...
Below is this i just caught if him now, he just came down from basking and closed his eyes. The last pic is the water dripper and fogger. Is the dripper in a good place?
His eyes are closed almost everytime i see him now. I feel like i should continue with the antibiotics, but like you mentioned that could harm his kidneys. So im at a loss of what to do, our appointment is tomorrow and im not sure if we should cancel or not
Would be greatly appreciated if some who is knowledgeable in wc could help. I think i should redo his cage as well. Its nice for a first time cage, but after reading and watching videos, it could have been done better, hopefully this helps
Hey everyone, any suggestions for my set up? I just replaced all the fake plants with two medium sized Pothos plants as you can see in the pictures. I think I may need to put them in a better spot so he can see his walking branches, he tried to climb the wall where he sitting in the picture...
nono this is all great I appreciate any help and info I can get. I just got some more real plants and took out most of the fake ones and a humidifier is coming tomorrow. I will keep reading/learning about more things to help and hope for the beat
thanka for the tip, will definitely do a few fecal tests. And yeah i only found out last night he was wc. I thought he was cptive bred. So you think since he is wc its not that strange for them not to shoot their tongue far?
no blood work, he gave me a container for a fecal test so ill bring that back. He is wild caught, so there could have been a tongue injury prior to me getting him. He did just finally eat today so thats a plus. But again not shooting far, if its too far hell wait for me to bring it closer or he...
Hey everyone, thank you for all the help with my previous post. I have taken him to the vet just to make sure everything is fine. Out of all the concerns I brought up he said the only one to keep an eye out for was my chameleon not shooting his tongue very far. he gave Archie a calcium shot and...
Also thank you all so much for the help. I have been relying on Neptune the chameleon videos and google so its a great relief to have personal support. I really appreciate it
Here the white spot on his feet, I lured him out with some food to catch this and also noticed this white spot on his tongue. Could this be why he is also not really shooting his tongue far?, only a couple inches. The first time we fed him it was like that, and I didn’t think anything of it, but...
Im pretty sure its linear it doesn’t look like a double dome light. You can see the pictures below. Im going to by one of those thermometer guns to get a better basking reading, but the overall temp from the thermometer/hygrometer is just under 80F and 40-60% humidity. I think he was just too...

Handling - the first day or so there was some light handling as i was fixing his walking branches, now very little to no handling
Feeding - First few days were hornworms since they were the...
So i got my 11month old panther chameleon last week Sunday. He has the super big cage on a table, the t5 high output uvb light (might have typed that wrong) a 75 watt basking light its 75 because im in the basement so its colder and im in canada, in the summer i will move it down to 50-60 watts...
