Ok, so my 2 yo panther cham has a severe sinus infection, been to the vet (a really good one too) & has been on antibiotics since Dec 1st. Supposed to stay on them until Jan 1st due to level of severity the culture showed. He hasn't been eating on his own in weeks, Everyday i give him his meds &...

My cham just ate a stink bug... I did not feed it to him. I guess it found it's way into the warmth of his enclosure and he grabbed it up. With how bad they smell I would assume that it didn't taste so great. lol. Did you guys ever decide whether or not it was okay for chams to eat them? Thanks...

Thank you! Great advice! :) In the mean time I did give him some sweet potato baby food, he loved it. Def still offering live food, but he has no interest yet. He's def lost weight

Ok, so my Panther Chameleon has a sinus infection and I brought him to the vet last night. We put him on baytril and anti-inflammatory eye drops. The infection had spread to his mouth and his eyes have mucus. I'm raising the temperature in his enclosure, I'll be cleaning his mouth with 50/50...

BTW, I didn't mention it before and meant to... The cage completely dries out multiple times a day, like 10% humidity a few times a day and the soil gets completely dry. Also, he has never ingested soil, I still don't want to risk it, but I just wanted to say that since he's had this setup he...

Thank you. Never thought of that, I'll probably do something now. lol. And just so you know, he is cup trained. Sorry to hear that, that's horrible. So, what do you do instead? Just the enormous flower pot in the cage?

Thanks. Like I said earlier, I am planning to allow the pothos to grow around the cage. I currently have two pothos plants aside from other plants. I want to let them grow a lil and then I might add more. It isn't bark it's safe soil with moss mixed in and some hydroballs underneath, I have...

Cool :cool:

Oh, and when I take him out he usually climbs up to my bed and then just hangs there. I have a tree for him in the house for when he comes out, he doesn't love being on it. He usually climbs it if I put him on it and then uses it to go right back into his cage. He is definitely more interested...

I know, I really wasn't trying to offend you and am not mad I was just beginning to get annoyed with some of the unnecessary comments from people, I just felt a lil bullied and I also wanted to put your concern to rest. Sorry, if I seem like a b**** or offended you. But being that everything is...

He likes the foliage how it is and he knows many ways around the cage, that is not a problem. Every cham is different. He likes to be able to sit in an open spot and bask in the sun (he's next to a window). If I needed more foliage he'd be hiding in it all day. I do have pothos growing in the...

Cage pictures. I don't know why they always show up sideways, sorry. He likes to sleep in the pot sometimes, it has soil, but no plant currently.

He falls probably 2-3 times a month, def. not good, but honestly, he's just a lil clumsy. He almost always catches himself on a branch. He expects me to help him get places sometimes, he'll use my hand as a bridge or expect me to move him around, so a bit lazy too. He won't even go far from his...

Honestly, no. Whenever he falls it's from a leaf/stem, or thick rough branch. He always just steps wrong. He sleeps on that wire almost every night, he has never fallen from it. It's there because it holds up a hanging pothos pot. I appreciate the fact that you care enough to call someone out...

OMG, thank you for replying! lol. You definitely just got me to chill a lil. That's what I though with the short fall, because I know they fall all of the time and must fall a lot in the wild from higher points. I'm mainly scared because he landed the way he did. I think I'll do that, I just...

Sorry if I sound crazy at all, I'm just freakin' out right now. I love my lil guy. Also, if a cham breaks a bone… what would be done? Does anyone know how much an X-ray would cost?

15 moth old Male Panther Chameleon: Spectrum So, Spectrum falls in his cage sometimes, he's just a bit clumsy I guess. The cage is 4ft tall he usually falls from about 3.5 ft. He's always perfectly fine every time, although it freaks me out and I check him each time he falls. Yesterday...

That was... very professional. lol. I like your style. :) Thanks. Yeah you're right about maybe jumping to it, I think biology a lot. lol. But it def. isn't hereditary, just weird. I was just wondering if anyone else out there has seen the spike split. I mean, it's nothing to worry about right...

Well, that's totally true, but the weird thing is that I'm almost positive that not one other cham from his blood lines have his coloring. It's like if you have two parents with dark brown eyes & their parents have the same, there's no recessive gene. So, if their kid has blue eyes it's not an...

So, I've talked about my lil guy on here multiple times in the past and have mentioned his weird mutations. He was born with a fluid filled cyst under his arm which needs to be drained regularly, he had some eye problems a while back (which we cleared up), and he has very odd coloring. After...
