so we finally were able to take frank to the vet today
turns out he did have infectious stomatits (mouth rot)
and a swollen tongue
so we got some baytril and maloxicam
poor frank, he had a rough day
we constructed one of those milk jug cricket feeders to keep in his cage
since he doesn't always eat all of the crickets we put in there
we put some food and a couple pieces of gel in there
we've been doing that for 8 months and hes never eaten the gel before
i'm assuming that he either tried to...
the uvb lights are on opposite sides on the top of the cage
its a really big cage
they aren't close enough that he would be getting light from both at the same time
and its a reptarium so the mesh is quite dark
we were told to go with a 10.0 uvb from juilers
he doesn't seem to have a problem...
we just found a cricket gel in his poop yesterday
the kind from coastal silkworms
would this have anything to do with the problem?
hes still been acting strange
[/IMG]
the last time he pooped it was 2 days ago
you could tell that it was just one cricket
he got constipated/impacted 2 months ago and we gave him a tiny drop of pedialyte with his water
and hes been fine ever since...well till now
he hasn't been acting the same as he did when he was...
yes he keeps his head pointed up almost all day and opens his mouth quite a bit but no sound
no it doesn't make a popping sound when hes breathing
he was eating about 6 or 7 a day everyother day then it went to 2 or 3
but the past 2 or 3 days he hasn't had any
i think it might be since he's...
we've had frank our veiled chameleon for 9 months now
as of last week hes been acting rather strange
first we noticed him not eating very many crickets
only 2 or 3 would be gone a day
we figured there probably wasn't anything wrong since sometimes he'll go a day without eating but then pig...
i live in michigan and its been about 40 degrees outside this whole week
my boyfriend just got a house thats only a 4 minute drive from where he lives now and is planning on moving there sometime this week
i was wondering what would be the best way of transporting our chameleon there
i tried...
why don't you just buy some reptisafe?
we bought an 8.75 oz bottle about 7 months ago
and its only maybe 1/4 of the way gone
it instantly removes chlorine and chloramines
removes ammonia and helps prevent its accumulation
adds essential elecrolytes
aids in rehydrating new arrivals
and reduces...
yes, i read the wikipedia about mealybugs after i found out what they were.
the jade plants that are in there now are new,
and have already been re-potted with fresh soil and cleaned with soapy water.
i'm also well aware about the ficus elastica and its sap,
we don't live by very many plant...
we ended up getting rid of all 3 plants that were in the cage
since we found mealybugs and then some small black bugs eating away at the plants
i'm wondering if they were in the soil then eventually came out and started getting on the plants
we cleaned frank's entire cage out
and found a 4 foot...
