don't get it either.. i submitted a nice photo of my cham sleeping and it was removed? that's some bull shi* but there is always next month. good thing i got a rebel T2i now :)
so i started doing everything the doctor told me to do (posted above). i'm still noticing that Carmelo will keep an eye closed (while basking, or under the UVB bulb). he is still alert with the other eye?? i need an opinion because i don't know what the hell could be wrong with him...
some...
So i went to the vet this morning and got a full check up on Carmelo. turns out, the vett i saw is an outstanding reptile specialist. Carmelos fecal exam came back good. He said the chameleon looks very healthy and strong. i went over every detail of everything with the vet and he gave me a...
so i swapped out the powersun bulb for a 75w basking bulb i had and i noticed a bit of a change in how he was acting... immediately he started to drink more water as i let the enclosure cool and i noticed he went to bask under the new light once i put it on. im still going to get this little guy...
i live right outside of new york city. in the lower hudson valley area. im 15- 20 mins from conn., the city, and jersey so im sure ill find a vet for him. it could also be a little more being that its NY lol but even so that's not a bad price. i was thinking a check up would be 150 or something...
yeah im going to keep a close eye on him but regardless he is alittle over one and a checkup couldn't hurt..
what am i looking at as far as a standard fee for a checkup at a reptile vet? i know of one in my area but im curious as to what ill probably end up paying.
I'm going get a humidifier anyways just to be on the safe side. also, i just tried the mirror thing and i don't think he was bothered by it. i moved the mirror closer and he puffed up a little but no flaring. he seems very timid at the moment.
i do have the 5.0 UVB bulb its a year old so im getting a new one tomorrow. for basking i use the zoomed power sun uv bulb. its a mercury vapor UVB lamp (it was recommended). think it could be a problem? i was also thinking of swapping that basking light for a 65K grow light to house my plants...
yeah the uv bulb is a year old so i was gunna buy a new one tomorrow. ill change the misting to twice a day for like 4 mins. crickets are his main source of food but i do give him other feeders as treats. i will also cut back on the miner-allO (no D3).
what about the humidity? is it too low...
yeah that sounds like a good idea.. but other than that shoul di improve on anything?? i mean he looks healthy (eating and drinking) just his activity has been slowed down the past week or so and he does the whole one eye closed thing.. he is moving towards hit water now but ill try and get an...
