Ryan is right. Baytril can cause some nasty tissue necrosis at the injection site and probably burns like hell. Oral baytril works really well.

Point taken. Although, not everyone keeps baytril around the house and if they have some it is probably because a vet has trusted them to use it. I don't think knowing how to dose it correctly is dangerous if you already have it ... In any event, you are right that I did not put the unit...

Baytril Dosing Be careful with Baytril. while it works very well on respiratory infections, you need to make sure that your cham is drinking extra. Otherwise, you will need to inject fluids under the skin. As others have suggested, you really need to see a reptile vet -- one who has actually...

I have the females in a 18x18x18 exo terra. The male is in a larger screen cage. The photo makes him look a lot bigger than he actually is. He was really puffing up at me for taking his picture.

Laurie, don't be hurt! jared has been bugging me for photos and since I was already posting the boehmei pics, it's a two-fer. Are you planning on putting yours together this spring? I have no idea how many eggs to expect from either species, so it will be a surprise!

Especially for Jared, here are some photos of my three k. tavetana.

Hey Jared -- the tavs are definitely pissier than the boehmei. When the tacs give you the stink eye, bes tnot to reach out and try to touch them. They are attack chameleons! The boehmei not so much. Very laid back, and don't seem to mind my hands in the cage. As soon as the weather gets...

Pics I will post more later. I took these a few days ago. Not the greatest.

:D Even before I could post pictures of these guys, they are at it! Apparently, for quite a long time. Long enough that the female was obviously bored and started eating her breakfast while it was still going on! She ate at least 3 flies while the male was still perched on her. I will post...

Enclosures and supplies If money is tight right now, you can look on craigslist for cages and lighting fixtures. i have found some really inexpensive supplies that way. You will find that a 5.5" clamp lamp from your local petsmart or pet store with a Reptisun 5.0 compact uVA/B bulb will work...

I need a few females for a breeding project. If anyone has one or more they are willing to sell, please email me: [email protected] Thanks!

I've used the Exoterra Reptiglo 5.0's (compact) for years and never had any problems. I think you will find that there are many other forum members who use compact UVB ulbs, too. Those manufacturing defects were corrected. If you google the issue, you will come up with a study done in Britain...

I have had luck mixing chicken baby food into a slurry with pedialyte. It replaces some calcium and electrolytes and gives him some calories. You can even mix in some calcium dust to boost it a bit. Sometimes, this is enough to "bridge" the cham into eating on its own. I think anesthetizing...

This looks like an abscess. They are first flat and yellow and then raised and yellow. When the skin heals underneath, the scab will usually fall off with a shed. I swabbed mine with betadine, then rinsed with a saline wash (both from CVS), dried it and applied neosporin. Of course, mine was...

Was that his only water source? I thought you had posted several days ago that you were going to remove the waterfall? Waterfalls and chameleons do not mix. You have to mist at least twice a day every day. Chams of any species do not do well without proper hydration. He will need extra...

Great looking chams! I am in the process of drawing plans for a large outdor enclosure for my crew. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to see what your enclosure looks like/how you plan to build it. Thanks

Is the cham eating at the moment? Sometimes, with URI's, they don't eat much. Injecting a feeder with antibiotics is fine but only as long as the cham will eat it. If the dose is .6 ml, that is not a tremendous amount and the cham must be fairly large for that big of a dose. So, I don't know...

Mist Nozzle Cleaning THe mister is probably cloggged if it won't spray. (it has an adjustment knob which you might need to play with too). If it's clogged, try running through some diluted white vinegar followed by a plain warm water rinse. It should get rid of any particulate collected in...

Those of you who saw my first post on this poor pet store flapneck might remember how horrible she looked and what bad shape she seemed to be in. That original post is here https://www.chameleonforums.com/dilepis-issues-55329/ Well, today she not only pooped, she ate five houseflies and...

My daughter ust completed her science fair research project on social signaling in chameleons. In her research, if they see a predator, they signal (e.g. change color) and often flare and hiss. She used photos of natural predators (eagles shrikes and snakes). These are chameleons who were...
