Yeah I guess just hearing from a Vet in person that he looks okay. Then I will be alright. I watched him drink off the leaves, so he is drinking eating. He also booked it up his branch like his butte was on fire:) I believe what I am giving him is helping, I just wasn't to know not just think it...
I have had a gut instinct today that tells me to take him back to see the Vet. He has gotten better, but at the same time, I don't want to take the chance of something going terribly wrong. I have seen him sit in almost the same spot for more than a few hours. Granted he has moved slightly, and...
That is SO awesome! Make sure to drop into any of the Care resources, and post pics so we can see your new family member, how exciting:) As long as you listen and ask questions, you will be in pretty good shape. Everyone on here is very knowledgeable and they helped me tremendously:)
Welcome to the Best place to get advice and feedback:)
I am a newbie here myself. So I will tell you that Pets Marts is not a good place to purchase any reptiles, that is where I also purchased my Cham and he ended getting MBD, which I am now working on correcting. Definitely want to get of the...
Thank you Nick:) I am one of those people that when I ask for help, I expect to get both criticism back as well as advice, because both tend to work effectively. I never mind the help. Ever since I found out what he has, and with all of the advice on here, I have tried to put all of it to play...
This is a really good idea:) I just put a plant in with my Chevy Cham, and never thought about haven't the crix and such in the dirt, so I am going to do the same as well. I liked your half gallon crickets feeder you made:) I made my mine a feeder out of 2 3in couplings and about 2 foot pvc...
Chevy - Update on possible gaping from too much heat
Okay - so I believe the wonderful help I received from a few of the fellow communers here was exactly on key! I rearranged his cage, moving branches at least 6 inches below the basking and I have not once seen him open his mouth indicating...
Sounds like a grand plan! Funny side note - So I attempted the liquid, upon placing the dropper close to his mouth he flung his head booth left and right. I looked at my husband and said "did he really just shake his head NO?" WE both laughed. Good ending though as I again dangled it over his...
I agree 100%. I am weary about that right now only because I live in Arizona, and we are still in high 100's. I will definitely be taking him out when we get below 100.
Okay - so should I give him say Liquid calcium everyday for a certain period of time along with the dusted that he already receives? Thanks again. Much appreciated.
inlinefourpower - If you are referring to that circular one I had way back there, it actually stopped working, and I just hadn't removed it till now because I forgot about it, so thanks! I have some form of a electronic one that has a sensor for Temp and Sensor for Humidity that I can placed in...
jamjam - Thanks so much for being specific, that helps a lot with me because I am still learning. I appreciate the time everyone is taking on helping me make this little guy safe.
Kinyonga - I am a newbie so define extra calcium, I am not sure what you mean there:) I have been dusting with Calcium without D3 at every feed, and there others every other week. If I should give him more, I will certainly do that. I do have a bottle of liquid Calcium. If you think I should add...
Okay thank you, that was a huge help. I was also wondering about the height of how I placed the branches as well as it being a good temperature. I am going to rearrange the branches. The basking bulb is the one in the picture that is all the way to the left on the top back of the enclosure. I...
Okay I will copy and paste the help me form below. I think is he doing good, but I don't know because I am a first time owner. The opening of the mouth thing kind of bothers me. Granted I have seen no saliva build up or his nose being stuffed, he looks good minus the MBD. Am I just being...
I will make sure to share the final product:) I can't be more grateful to you and everyone else that helped me out, told me what to do and how to do it with out being harsh. He started shedding yesterday. First time in months. He just all round look so much healthier. I have documented...
