I agree, it looks like an intermediate stage of MBD. Lovereps gave you excellent advice, I would carefully follow his supplementation and gutloading info. A trip to the vet would also help with increasing his calcium levels, although making changes to husbandry is critical to prevent the...

He looks good. I would recommend you fill out the help form just to verify you have everything right since this is your first chameleon; often pet stores give bad advice. You can copy and paste it from the below link: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

Sounds like you have a lot more experience than me :) Veileds usually have larger clutches so panthers will probably be easier for you. I know you can produce hydei fruit flies and crickets for food, but those are the only two I am aware of.

How old is she? Were you planning to breed them? That was an attempt to mate, and how are you sure it wasn't successful?

I'm not an experienced breeder, but I am planning to start with just one male and one female. Since panthers can easily produce 30-40 eggs, I imagine you would at least only want to breed one pair first to get an idea of what it is like. From my understanding the hardest part is making sure...

They are built to fall, so he should be fine as long as there is not abnormal behavior. In the wild they will intentionally fall out of trees to escape predators, and they puff up involuntarily for protection when they fall. Almost all my chameleons have tried to do something crazy at some...

So sorry he didn't make it :( With it happening that fast though I don't think it was likely to be caused by a husbandry issue. It does seem likely that he was either bitten/poisoned by an insect, had an accident when you weren't there, or had some kind of internal issue like a hemorrhage. I...

Welcome to the forums! Sorry you didn't get a reply before, it probably just got missed. As for the question, you could probably orient the laying bin so that it gets little or no water from the mister. The mister does not have to cover the whole cage. I use a very large pot with an...

PetSmart usually has a 15 day health guarantee. If you are still within that window you can take her back and they should provide vet assistance. Unfortunately I can't say how great that assistance will be, so you should still get advice from people here. Can you please fill out the help...

I'm very sorry that you lost your brother and that your chameleon is not doing well :( The best thing you can do right now is to take him to an emergency reptile vet if available. If you specify what state your in, someone may be able to recommend someone, or you can try looking at the links...

He looks healthy, even if he is a slow grower :) Did you ever get the results of the parasite check?

Congratulations! Looks like the pic is not showing up though :(

I would agree that if it comes right off it is probably urate that got stuck to him. If it is slightly yellow he may be slightly dehydrated, so you would want to ensure he is able to drink enough.

I think what you are most likely seeing is the cooling lines remaining cold after the power to the compressor is turned off. They will continue to cool the fridge until the temperature inside equalizes. So you will most likely have to adjust the timer so the compressor runs for a much...

Can you post pictures of him and the cage? He may just be dark because you have only had him 5 days and he hasn't adjusted yet. It's usually best to handle as little as possible the first week or two. Note that when he is an adult, he will need at least a 24x24x48 screen cage. You should...

He should be OK in the aquarium for a week, especially with fans and if you are keeping it clean. You should dust with PLAIN calcium every feeding, calcium with D3 twice a month, and multivitamin twice a month. You need to be really careful to clean the water bowls daily if you are keeping...

Yeah, your right, if it happened right when the branch hit that was probably the issue. It just seemed strange that a single rub would have such a big effect since it seems like they are pretty good at protecting their eyes.

Yes, he will need a new screen cage with lots of foliage and climbing branches/vines before he will improve. At least an 18x18x36, but when he is an adult he will need a 24x24x48. There should be no substrate to prevent ingestion. They turn bright colored when asleep because that is the...

He's a male. That little bump in the middle of his foot in the picture is a tarsal spur. Can you post pics of the entire cage? From the current pics, it looks like he may not have enough foliage and enough areas to hide and climb. This is likely to be the cause of him being darker colored...

What are you feeding him and what supplements are you using? Vitamin A deficiency can often start with him holding one eye closed. It could also be that something got in his eye. Can you post pics? If the eye looks completely normal then I would guess one of the two things I mentioned above...
