It could also be a UVB burn. It is caused by having too many ultraviolet rays being absorbed into the skin. This can detiriorate a chameleons health quickly. The fastest death by UVB burn is 2 days...I dont knowmuch else about UVB burns,though.
a thermal burn usually starts from an unusual green patch on the skin. It is caused by being too close to a heat lamp. After the skin turns green, it turns a gray or black color. The tissue will then become necrotic. Infection is imminent if it is not treated properly. Unfortunately, the skin...

THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO MY CHAMELEON!!!! I took little ginger to the vet and he said that there was nothing we could do and that the constricted part would fall o9f and heal on its own. It has been a year since then and nothing has changed. I have also searched if it could be fixed and...
My veiled is 7 months and has layed eggs. Usually there is no set time of maturing. You can tell when they eat less and have less fecal matter and hang out at the bottom of the cage.
I recommend that you put sand and peat moss in the corner of the cage if it is a girl. You can indicate gender by checking the chameleons' back foot. If it is a boy, it has a small bump. A girl has no bump. For my chameleon I do not use substrate. I use a type of "carpet" made by ZooMed. It is...
I do not recommend putting a male with females. He may breed them to death. If you get a 20 gal and put a divider, I think that should suit them just fine.
I would put about two handfuls of sand in a corner. about 2 inches thick or so. Female chams lay "duds". or unfertilized eggs and if they can't find a blace to bury them,like peat moss or sand, they will not lay the eggs. when they are eggbound the only option is oxytocin or operations to remove...
I truly am sorry for your loss. You did your best. I think you should get the "Best Owner Award". I know if I lost Fred or Ginger I would be devastated.:(
I reccomend that you set up an area w/ peat moss and sand that she can lay her eggs in. As said above, if chameleons do not lay eggs, they can become egg bound and will most likely die. If she was in fact in an enclosure w/ other chams, she would be a darker colour than usual. This indicates...
