My beautiful boy is over his first hatch day hump :)

First thing I noticed is his basking spot is a bit to hot for his age, he may be lower down in the enclosure due to this. His basking temps for his age need to be 82F max. until he is over 9 months old. One last thing Im thinking of, do you let the humidity drop or "dry" out between...

Hi and welcome, sorry your dude is acting strange. It may help many of us if you fill out the "ask for help" and answer those questions. How old is your cham and what is the d3 brand?

Can I PLEASE be added to that list too?!! :D I am willing to wait!

As I said before along with another, you need it cultured! Any vet can swab it and send it to the lab. There is no need for a herp vet. The microbiologists who actually take out the swab and "plant" it will also be the ones interpreting what they see on the plate. It can take a day or so...

It really could be both. Fungus is opportunistic, so a burn sight would be a great place to hunker down and thrive. Wouldn't hurt to have a culture, that way no matter what could now be growing can be treated with the proper drugs, i.e. anti-fungal vs anti-bacterial.

At least the name is still very cute for a female :)

THANK YOU!!! You are the best!! I was really upset I couldn't rescue him (extra vet bills and school/work schedule) and was so hoping he'd end up in good hands. So happy to see him looking better already, such a beautiful guy.

So lucky you have an awesome vet like that!! I swear Im going to base my next move on location of a GREAT Cham vet. They really do rule our lives :rolleyes:

Jannb that is a nice little home kit! Much easier than the human testing ;)! I did wonder also if that book was worth buying, so I guess I have another one to add to my list. Glad to see it shows good pictures (and hopefully good descriptions) of the parasites and how to ID.

He will most likely need an antibiotic. I would use the search window here and research others who had similar experiences to find what drugs were prescribed. What a horrific accident, Im so sorry this happened to you and your cham! Good Luck, sorry I don't know the drug you need but I don't...

Any word yet on the fecal?! Thats super cool you and your son are into that! However…there really is so much junk and debris in poop! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if what you were seeing was actually a fiber (hair, cellulose from a plant-very common misidentification in human samples). I...

That is an awesome offer!! If we can work it all out, I will take him and do my very best for him. Thanks so much! :) I also have a busy schedule but he really wouldn't take much more time than my guys already do, whats an extra half hour give or take for feeding :o?! I haven't had much luck...

If this really is possible and we can orchestrate this then yes I will take him. I am off work this week but I also have classes Monday through Friday (mostly days). Let me know what is best for you as far as days of the week. Can you post a recent pic of him? Do you know his current weight...

It is very difficult to diagnose cysts, eggs and trophs in feces. The actual worms are easier to see but often can be misidentified. You really need to know what you are looking at to correctly identify them. There is soooo much junk in poop. Did you decontaminate the specimen first or are you...

I would have met half way or (almost the whole way) Wexford but all I have now is a small exoterra and I don't think that would be good for him :( sorry. I for sure would take him if you had the enclosure he would come with. Hopefully someone who has the extra time and space will take him for...
