Okay thank you for all the support, I will keep everyone updated. Maybe I should call the vet and let them know about this? I don’t think they should be seeing anymore chameleons

No they did not, fecal sample was negative for everything

Yes, I called and they are an exotic animal vet that does chameleons! I am very concerned now and just feel awful. Is it possible he could die from this? I really love him and I thought I was doing the right thing

She put a stick in his mouth to bite down on, and he didn’t like that. Is he going to be okay? And she was squeezing pretty hard to get him to comply with the exam, way harder than I would squeeze him, but then again I’m not giving exams so I didn’t know

Yes, I’ve never owned a chameleon before though so I don’t know what’s too rough and what’s not, I have a picture

I do want to say that after the vet (he is now home) he’s acting a bit weird with his tongue, like he keeps missing the silkworms and won’t shoot his tongue out like normal. I’m thinking it’s probably stress related and he’s very tired, but it would be weird if the vet hurt him by accident right?

Just an update for everyone, because I’m not even kidding, on the way to the vet he pooped in his carrier 🤣. I didn’t notice until I actually got to the vet so I figured I’d just go ahead and do a check up! 😆 all is good!

Yeah, there still is no poop so I scheduled a vet visit tomorrow. Better safe than sorry!

So his fogger has been having some issues and I wonder if that may have something to do with it, I’m going to buy a new fogger and hopefully that will give him a bit more hydration at night. He is drinking yes (he’s never been shy drinking in front of me) I actually just turned on his misters...

hi everyone! I’m just wondering when you should be concerned about your Cham not pooping. I realized I was feeding my panther Cham a bit too much so I cut back on the feeders but now he hasn’t pooped for about 5 days. Should I be concerned about an impaction? Or when is the right time to...

Im more concerned if I can put Herbie back in there, he hates being out of his home. Im afraid I’ve “poisoned the area” im just not sure

I have a bioactive closure too, can you not use mosquito bits if you have one?

anyone know if the Clorox disinfectant hydrogen peroxide spray (non-bleach) is alright to use? I bought it and sprayed down my cage with it since I was having bad fungus gnat problems and it just smelled really strong so I took Herbie out and put him in his temporary enclosure and figured I’d...

I’ve been having a fungus gnat problem for a while now so I decided to look up how to get rid of them for Herbie (since he isn’t eating them). I read that hydrogen peroxide is good to use so I bought a spray Clorox hydrogen peroxide (non-bleach). I started spraying around the cage but it...

Oh my goodness 😂 I didn’t realize it was such a complicated ordeal

I think I’m going to switch the bulbs, I think it’s a bit too strong for a panther cham! Thank you!!

What is the usual watt that chameleon owners use? When I went to repticon, they gave me a smaller bulb that fit into my lamp and the zoomed 150 watts seems to be a bit larger but I don’t know what kind of bulb that other guy sent me

Okay I’ll look into a probe thermometer! And when raising the lamp up a bit, I’m not sure what to use? It would need to be something metal right?

hi everyone! I’m a new chameleon owner and I’m not sure where to measure with my laser heat gun to make sure his basking spot isn’t too hot. I’ve caught him gaping at his basking spot after I used a new bulb (150 watts), so I think he’s trying to regulate his temperature but I haven’t seen him...
