Thanks Lathis, I feel better already! The vet did say it was the most common problem. No advice I was given worked. Tapping on her nose did not make her open her mouth, and stroking the dropper along her mouth didn't work either. So, I will just do as you did, and pick her up, give the med and...

Yes, Camimom, I did see an actual vet, Dr. Greek out in Yorba Linda. He has a really good reputation on here, and with South Bay Chameleons. I know I'm really lucky to,have an exotic pet vet at all! I can't remember the name of the med, and you'd think I would, being a nurse and all, but I'm...

Still need help with giving medication. Help! I posted on Tuesday about my little Jackson girl with the foot abcess. I put cute pics up,and everything! No response at all. So, I'm trying again. I have to give her 1 drop antibiotic once a day. This is so much more difficult than I thought it...

Would appreciate any suggestions as to how to give medication when she's still asleep! Would touching her nose with the dropper be enough to wake her up? Thanks for any input.

second try Pico and umbrella before the foot incident swollen inside toes back foot off to the vet in my bucket

So, On Saturday I noticed Pico had a swollen back, inside part of her foot. I looked at it quite closely, which pissed her off, but I couldn't see any obvious wound, and her nails were all there. Of course, It was Saturday, so I spent the weekend worrying, and trying not to read all the sad...

Looks amazing! I think you should your chameleon's names though. Very important that!

Aah, that's so sweet! Poor little guy, so tired....zzzzzzz

I'm so sorry. But, you did the best thing for her, and she didn't suffer at the end. Thank you for letting us know what happened, as I know we've all been thinking about you and your cham. I haven't had mine for very long, but they work their way into your heart pretty quickly don't they?

You forgot the 'in the snow' part!

Wallace, or Brian!

Such cute babies! I love the first pic,,fresh from the shower!

Yeah, I can't see myself using hornworms much. They're gross, and mostly too large. She did eat one though! She also had some Phoenix worms today, and some bean beetles. Trying to grow some dubias, and bought some new eggcrate yesterday. I'm handmisting several times a day when I'm home, and...

It's pretty humid here at the moment, around 70%, and I'm hand misting two to three times a day when I'm home. The temps are also 78 roughly. But, it will get hotter and drier next month, hence the MistKing. I just need to figure out where I'm going to plug it in! Also have a dripper going. I...

Bought some hornworms today for little Pico, my 5 month old Jackson's, who lives outside. I know the hornworms don't last that long, so I put them outside for tonight, where it's cooler. Question is, how many do I give her? One or two? Is that OK? Also bought some more dubias in the hope that...

I have a 40 gallon aquarium, so to keep Shaun, my two year old tabby away from it, when he was little and climbing everything, I put double sided sticky tape all round the stand. He hated that, and only climbed up there once! Cats hate sticky stuff on their feet. So maybe you could try that...

Oh, I'm going to have to go pattern hunting! He's darling! I love making stuff, prefer knitting, but I think crocheting might be easier in this case. Now you have to think of a name for him... I wish someone would make a little rubbery chameleon that would hang on my pen, and that I could...

So what did the cat get? Funny story!

Not really a delivery as in USPS. Shaun, my 2 year old tabby brought an enormous hornworm inside today. I have absolutely no idea where he found it, but he was incredibly pleased with himself! It was huge, at least 3 inches long and unhurt. I flung it over the fence in the hope that some...

Does anyone have any good places they go to catch wild insects for their chameleon food? Here in SoCal, and preferably south Bay area is preferable. I was thinking about Bolsa Chica, but then wondered if it was even allowed to do that, seeing as it's a wetlands preserve. I don't need that many...
