    Unknown Sickness

    Right now the gecko's abscess is getting bigger by the week, the boss from a reptile store near me told me I can poke the hole in the middle with a needle and squeeze the pus out. Bad thing is it will hurt the gecko very badly, so I'll leave that to a vet. Inside his mouth he has some sort of...

    Unknown Sickness

    I know I have to, but when I got him I was unaware he was really sick, and when I noticed he was sick, it was too late, I already him at the cage. Can't just return it to the guy. I wouldn't have gotten the gecko otherwise, even more so the fact it's a male. (I have a perfectly healthy male and...

    Unknown Sickness

    How much would the injections cost? I have a Leo that I've gotten from a guy that didn't want it anymore and was giving it away. Turns out it has a respiratory infection, some sort of slime covering both his eyes, an abscess on his right eye, a few toe tips lost, and mouth rot. Just for covering...

    Unknown Sickness

    I got the cage measurements wrong, I just measured it by looking at it, I forgot the brand but I'm pretty sure it's an Exo Terra small cage. 18W x 12Lx 22T is the actual measurement, he's pretty small too, he's only about 3.8 inches from nose to vent. I can take a picture in a comparison with...

    Unknown Sickness

    My chameleon seems to be having some bad stuff happening to him and I don't know what's wrong with him (He's my first chameleon) He seems to be a bit lethargic, I think he may have some MBD on his arms. His mouth is greyish (on the inside) his eyes are sunken (I know that means he's not...

    Taming Techniques?

    We got him on April 11, although the chameleon was about a month and a half by that time.

    Taming Techniques?

    I recently made his new enclosure and he seems to be more comfortable knowing there's more hides(More vines and leaves to keep him covered). Now that I opened his doors for the past week, just this morning he attempted biting me twice as I got a bit near him trying to rip a dead leaf off a...

    Any safe, weird looking plants?

    So far, I'll think about the Zebra plant (I've seen a plant that looks like it but had 2 red lines, 1 on each side, couldn't get it since it was bundled in with an orchid in a big coconut) it seems easy, I need easy plants lol. All I got for the plant's lighting is the normal UVB and heat bulb...

    Any safe, weird looking plants?

    Recently I went to a Home Depot and they had a couple weird and cool looking plants, I was wondering what plants I can add that look different than that classic green color. Any plant that has a weird leaf shape or a plant with different colored leaves and is a house plant. (Either just a pure...

    Is this setup good enough?

    Okay, thank you lol, I was a bit worried. I googled it, it is a type of creeping fig, can't seem to find the scientific name though.

    Is this setup good enough?

    I just noticed that the green and white plant isn't an Echevaria as the paper said it was. The little paper it had on said it was an Echevaria hybrid but I forgot what it was crossed with and as I google Echevaria Hybrids, none of the plants look anything like it. So far he's eaten a few of the...

    Is this setup good enough?

    It looks really cramped upfront but in the middle there's a large (Manageable would be a better word for it) area that I can do almost everything. As for the carpet I might remove it and add some sort of drainage layer or just leave it bare.

    Is this setup good enough?

    Just yesterday I finished making a new setup for my Veiled chameleon and so far I think it came it rather decent. His floor is repti-carpet (Those pebbles are there to push down the carpet, since it isn't completely flat, some crickets might be able to go under it, so I need to fix that. Should...

    Taming Techniques?

    Well, It's been a while and it's gotten worse. He doesn't eat off my hand anymore, whenever I clean the cage he doesn't get close to me like before, and as soon as I enter the room, he walks away. Haven't really done anything to it lately, just normal feeding, spraying, and spot cleaning on his...

    Taming Techniques?

    Well then, I suppose I'll just handle him for 5 minutes once a week. Forgot to mention he's 2 months old. Doesn't hiss or anything, just somewhat easily startled. Usually when I open his lid to throw in the crickets or spray he'll tend to hide or walk the opposite direction. Sometimes he'll walk...

    Taming Techniques?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering in what way should I best try to tame my chameleon. I've seen a few videos saying similar things, sometimes different. I would like to know which technique is most effective. So far I've heard a person on Youtube saying it would be best to hold him daily or at...

    New chameleon

    I believe its 75 watts as the tank is around 90 degrees. Not sure what my chameleon is doing but sometimes after I mist (Or spray a tiny bit on him to see if that small shed on his head will come off) he'll walk a bit fast then right after he might start opening his mouth pretty wide for about...

    New chameleon

    Well, it's been 5 days still with shed. Just yesterday, I saw him trying to eat a cricket but when he tried eating it, his tongue didn't extend, as if he was pulling back, I got it on video too, but right after I finished the video in 5 seconds he ate the cricket with his tongue back to normal...

    New chameleon

    It's almost about to be 4 days and my chameleon still has shed on his head and tiny tiny pieces scattered on his body and 1 very small piece on his tail. Should I assist? For some reason he tends be a normal green while his tail turns light brown with some dark blotches.
