Hi everyone! Just another update! This is Herbie's third poop since I've finished his treatments and I took his poop in today for a fecal and they told me he is parasite free. I froze the other two samples thinking they would be able to screen those too, but apparently not...lol. BUT, just...

Oh yeah, was not aware of that either! I'm already almost done with both of them though, so probably shouldn't stop one of them right? He's on his third round (3/5) of the metro and then had 2 rounds (2/3) of the pancur

gotcha! thanks!

Hey guys! Herbie doesn’t seem to be getting better, I just want to make sure that this is good to get rid of those parasites

I had a superworm that turned into a beetle and I found it in his cage! I want Herbie to try to eat him but I'm seeing a bunch of different reviews on the beetles. What do y'all think? Do they bite? Maybe the exoskeleton is a bit too hard? Thanks!

So when you say that you left everything bare for a month, how does your chameleon drink? Do you still have sticks in there?

I didn't mean to discount anything that you said! I hope I didn't come across as rude before, I am just in such disbelief that there is so much misinformation!

Ahhh okay I see, so what I’m gathering is that for chameleons it’s not great and I’ll need to wash and replace things in his cage to prevent it from coming back

wait so all of his plants and sticks are bad??? oh my lord. And why would the vet tell me something else then? They are an exotic vet and see lots of reptiles so I just don't understand how small of a deal they made of it. I don't know what to believe to be honest, this is all crazy. I will...

Hey everyone! I went to the vet on Thursday (so about a week ago) and they did another fresh fecal and said that they found Giardia. They said that they always have like a low level and not to worry and then gave me some meds. However, on here I am seeing on this forum that Giardia is a bad...

Okay that’s good to know! I guess I don’t want to assume that the uvb was the only problem just in case. But I’m definitely not having a check up like last time where she basically strangled the poor thing. I’m thinking I’ll just do a fecal so when he poops again to scoop it up and bring it to...

It’s so stressful, I’m sorry if it seems like I am being a helicopter chameleon parent! I called a different vet and requested their doctor that has a pet chameleon and made sure they had a prior history with chameleons and I feel comfortable. When we talked over the phone they asked about...

And yes I am positive there has been no poop! I checked in the plants to make sure

So three days ago he ate 5 silkworms and then has not eaten anything since then except for a superworm. He’s had silkworms in his feeder that he has not touched. I tried to even hand feed them today which he normally does with ease and didn’t want them. A silkworm actually tried to crawl into...

Hey everyone! So it’s been 3 days since the last update and he was eating a lot but now he hasn’t eaten (except for one superworm that I fed him) since then or pooped. Thinking I should make a vet visit?

I got a fecal done when I went to the vet 2 months ago! It was all clear!

Okay will do! I’ll keep an eye on him

So when I walk into the room he has his eyes closed, but his tail is not curled or anything. If he hears me then he opens his eyes and looks at me but if I’m quiet and approach him he keeps his eyes closed, like he’s resting. That’s the best way I can explain it. He’s not in a sleeping...

Well actually right after I posted this, I caught him sleeping again but I’m not worried because I feel like he’s just still recovering, if I need to be worried though let me know!

He’s doing great today!! Almost all his shed is gone and he ate 5 silkworms! He was super hungry! Here he is running around! Also just a note a got some dragon strands I’m going to attach for a bit more plants and sticks but I’m going to wait another week or two before doing something crazy to...
