Wow; I'm sure glad he had a good tail-grip! Must have been a little scary to see him that way, though--glad you've fixed things so they can't fall again!

Ah, excellent point, Dan! So, 1) There wouldn't be a way for water to leak near them except from their own cage(s) (not meaning to imply I would ever keep more than one per cage; I know they are solitary and each individual needs its own cage). 2) The bath soaps and shampoos, etc...

Hang in there. I'm sure they will do their best. Have you/they thought of trying Bug Juice or mashed bugs fed via syringe?

I was just reading back through everything to refresh my memory and I realized I had posted about BPs regarding the Reptaid, but this is about a beardie! Ack. So sorry! How is he doing today? I hope you are continuing to see improvement! Sandy

Hi, Ruslan! I'm wondering whether you ordered the hornworms from a vendor or whether they are wild caught? If they are native to your area, then they probably won't eat tomato plants, as tomatoes aren't native to your region. However, it's possible that as people began growing tomatoes there...

That's hilarious! "I am just a vine--you don't see eyes, you don't see a cham; I am just a vine!" I've seen my snakes make like a tree branch, but this is even better! Great pics! Sandy

How is he doing today? I hope he's hanging in there so you can pamper him more!! Sandy

Were they feeding her a hopper mouse or a hopper rat? BPs should be eating rats, otherwise you're going to find yourself feeding $$ of mice each week when she grows up! :) It sounds to me as if she could use a little feeding up. As she's so small, about 20% of her body weight is probably a...

That's soooo funny! She clearly thinks you should let her have them! I hope her little treat turns out to be just fine for her digestive system and overall health! Sandy

Hakai, I am extremely impressed by your willingness to dive into such a tough job! Not only was this your own cham that you had to cut open, but also you were trying to do a necropsy without any training--and you did a great job under the circumstances! When I read that you're a senior in high...

You must have felt such relief to hear it's just dead skin cells! I'm a little confused, though--if the bumps are just dead skin cells, why did the vet prescribe an antibiotic for your cham? Did he think he's not shedding properly due to a bacterial infection? Or was there something else...

I love your corner jungle! It's really beautiful, and I'm sure Claire loves it, too--though I can see that she really didn't want to pose for pics! She looks so healthy and vibrant. It's wonderful to see her! Sandy

Oh, wow, what a hopeful sign!! If you can just get him to the point that he's eating on his own, then things may really begin to look up for this guy. I'm so glad you took him to the vet. I know it had to be hard to hear that prognosis of only 10-20% chance of survival, but with your...

Oh, what a painful way to lose your gecko! He was a cute little guy, and you gave him the best life you could while he was with you. I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling about how it happened. Sandy

Oh, Virginia. This is so hard. Having lost one not long ago, I can really empathize with your pain. It's amazing how attached we become to these chameleons, isn't it? And you, I, and so many others here try so hard to do everything right . . . but sometimes we just don't know what...

I wish you all success in helping him! He's luckier than he knows that you have taken him in, I'm sure.

Well, he is certainly brilliant in the photos! Beautiful boy!

This looks fabulous! I looked through Web of Knowledge via my university, and Mark Finke has published quite a number of articles on his research into feeder insects. Great find! Thanks so much for sharing it! Sandy

I didn't know about the form or how to find it when I first came here; I was just lucky enough to give adequate information to get the help I needed. Here's a link to the form (it's in the Health Clinic forum): https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ Good luck! Sandy

Wow. What a tragic loss! You must feel so frustrated with all the preparatory study and work you put into your chameleon . . . The most frustrating thing is not really knowing how he was taken care of before you got him. The previous owner may not have had the best husbandry. Or it could be...
