I was able to download it free from my library website. But the pdf is 548.4 KB and the max limit that I can add as an attachment is 250 KB. Does anyone know a way around this?

I came across this article online today and thought it was really cool! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080630173924.htm Imagine having a 5 month lifespan. How do they survive every season! I'm going to download the original scientific article tomorrow at school, where I...

I don't know much about chameleon breeding and genetics, so this may be a totally ignorant question but, could this birth defect have been due to the mutations that cause the translucent skin? Could that mutation have affected the baby's embryonic development? Or does this just happen once in...

I agree. I've tried the search function for some specific things and just got a huge list of threads that don't have much to do with what I was interested in. Although, I was able to find out lots of cool info about other things, that will come in handy, but it wasn't what I was looking for...

Thanks guys. I think I want to stay active on the forum, even though I no longer own a chameleon. Everyone is very knowledgeable, and there is always room to grow. Also, the more I see Archie's empty tank, the more I want to get another cham someday, so this site will be here to help me...

santa can be quite the scary guy... :p

Sad news. Archie had been going downhill fast since I started antibiotic treatment on Thursday. He looked like he was in pain and on his way out so I took him to the vet to be euthanized this morning. The vet said it was probably a combination of not taking the antibiotics well and the...

Thanks Jann I appreciate it. :o

They are so blue! very pretty! Archie was always more orange and light green and yellow. Nice pics!

I talked to the vet and he did say he put Archie on a high dose on purpose, but to reduce it because he doesn't seem to be handling it well. So yesterday I only did a 0.1 cc treatment and gave him LOTS of water from a syringe dripping in it into his mouth. He looked really bad, and I was...

I got a scale during the summer, which was when I decided he was too light, and upped his food intake. Definitely agree in the weight monitoring. Especially for young reptiles, when you see them every day they don't really look different, but when you compare their charts its cool to see how...

He weighed 244 grams at the clinic, and the baytril says "oral suspension 2.5%/ml" I have actually recently increased his food intake because I thought he looked thin. I used to feed every 2-3 days. He has gained 20 grams since august. I've been told that he is pretty big for a...

Thats what I am thinking. Also, my boyfriend suggested that maybe his forefeet were just extra sore from having needles shoved in them and stuff sucked out, that they were bruised or something. I was too panicked to think of that. Thanks for responding to the false alarm though! :-)

So, he all of a sudden looks fine again... he sat up and grabbed the branches with ALL of his feet and chilled like that for a while. Then the lights turned off and now he's falling asleep, like normal. This is so stressful! my nerves are all shot! grrr trying to study for final...

I misted him gratuitously, and made sure lots of the spray went in his mouth after I got him to open it (but not directly squirting the inside of his mouth with the sprayer). I will make sure he is misted more often than usual though for sure. I called, but they close early on fridays. I...

Heres my thread about Archie https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-symptoms-old-age-chameleons-33212/ So yesterday, when I took him to the vet, he still moved around his cage (albeit more slowly than usual with his feet as they are) and he ate (normal amount of daily food, about 6 superworms)...

I agree! Even if it wasn't what Archie ended up having, its very helpful. I wasn't even aware chameleons could get gout before last week! And now I know how to prevent it, and symptoms to look for, for Archie and any other future chams (I had many hours of looking up reptile gout related info...

Full-time genetics student, but not for long! I get my BSc in April! Then I'll be job-less.... Also: Impressive!

Vet results are in The report goes as follows: "Archie overall is looking pretty well, but the swellings on his feet are definitely a concern. From the radiographs it appears there is soft tissue swelling and osteomylitis (bone infection) too. Cytology of the fine needle aspirates are also...

Just the front feet. He gets mostly probably about an equal amount of silkworms vs. superworms. I dust the supers with calcium and vitamins. The silks eat mulberry (i wasn't aware they could eat anything other than what the supplier gave us with them) and the supers eat vegetables and fruit...
