Here are some older pics. I wanted to show how big he is as well as how thick his legs are and always have been. These pictures are all several months old.

Thanks for the information. His legs have always been as thick as they are in these pics. It is that one ankle that is swollen... I will post some older pics so you can see he has always been big. As for the renal failure, why would he be 100% fine, and a couple hours later he cant move just...

I offer him food every other day. He normally will eat 1-2 medium sized bugs every other day in the summer months. But during the winter months he cuts back a lot on his eating. That is why i bought him flies, to stimulate his eating. He has always been a bigger guy. He was the biggest one out...

Here are some more pics. I know they are not the best but the best i can do with my high quality camera. Let me know if i should post a different angle or something.

Here is some more pictures of my buddy. His front legs are so beefy they may look swollen but i am pretty sure now that the problem is the paw / ankle. The left ankle in the picture (would be his right) is definitely swollen compared to the other. Also, he holds the injured leg up from the...

Hi Dave, Thanks for the information. The more i look at the injured leg the more i think it looks like the paw / ankle is swollen. If i were to mimic the leg movement what am i feeling for?

Thanks for all the help so far. This morning his leg is still slightly swollen. He seems good besides that. He has clear, and alert eye's. Is there something i should do to his cage until he gets his mobility back? I was thinking about making a net of some kind that would catch him if he...

I love your positive way of thinking! I always think of the worst. What is this pedeolyt? Is it easy to get?

Because i am going to be going to the vet here ASAP what should i make sure they do for him? What can they do for a broken / leg? What kind of meds should i steer clear of, and what ones should i make sure he gets. If i could get this info before i have to go to the vet it would be great.

Thanks for the reply, this is very interesting. I have been having to clip the leaves on my plant because it is getting big for the cage. I wonder if he did ingest some of the sap or something. hmmmm... i got this plant because it was suppose to be safe, and i read that the sap from the ficus...

Thanks for the reply. I unfortunately never had his mother autopsied. She got knots in her joints, gout / fractures. I couldn't nurse her back into good health after the birth she just kept decreasing in health no matter what i did. I believe she was pregnant at a young age. She was a small...

Well i really don't know where to start this thread... My jackson chameleon hasn't been eating well so i had bought him some house fly's. I gave him some fly's and he was eating them up. I got home yesterday after doing some er ins and noticed a bubbly substance that i am sure was his puke...

Hey thanks a lot that was everything I needed to know.

Just wondering if some of the fly users here can give me some tips. How do you get the fly's Into the chams cage without them excaping ? Is it cool to put them in the fridge to slow them down? Once the eggs have started to hatch can I put them into the fridge to stop them from hatching? And...

Well he ate today... I am pretty sure he went a week with out any food. I do agree, I think it was for sure the sun light that he wasn't getting that was killing his appetite. He isn't right in front of the window but where his cage is he gets the sun if there is any. That was the problem I am...

The abdomen is not smooth. It has ridges running the long ways down it.

haha my jacksons was a bit scared of it i think.:) Bearded dragon still likes them over the odor they put off hey? I would love to get a bearded dragon but my better half thinks other wise...

well i just did a google on super worm beetle and i think i just answered my question... :) ?? Now if this is a super worm beetle, can they lay eggs without the opposite sex? Is there anything special you have to do to get the eggs to hatch? Why did this morph into a beetle in the...

Hi all, i just wondered if anyone can tell me what this beetle is?? The only thing that i can think of is maybe it is a super worm beetle? I'm not even sure if they morph into beetles... :rolleyes: I got home from doing some laundry and found my chameleon darker than normal and staring at...
