I haven't read though the links yet but I'd assume the techniques discussed would work on a panther? I think my new guy is going to be a challenge.

After a little more correspondence with the breeder he's trying to make it right and I'm sure we can agree to something that is fair for both sides. I guess it's true that cooler heads prevail. While I'm a little nervous about the rough start, I'll be keeping him and hopefully I can bring him...

A company call ATI out of Germany makes T5 light fixtures for reef aquariums that are dimmable. You can purchase the dimmable ballast separately but I don't know if you'd need a special dimmer control.

Well, just got back from the vet. She believes that it is the hemipenes protruding from his vent and also agrees that his bulge is very swollen. She advised to put neosporin on the exposed part to keep it moist. The breeder did suggest the same in a email that I didn't see until this morning. I...

I sent the first one but he didn't even comment on it, at this point it's just a pissing match and I don't think I'm going to get any further with them. He hasn't responded to my last email. The last correspondence said to send I'm back and if he arrives alive he refund the purchase price. I'm...

And another

I didn't buy from him blindly, I checked out his reviews before hand. He seemed to have a good reputation so I felt comfortable buying from him. I didn't expect this at all. He replaced the first one with the edema, I was understanding, sometimes things happen, but now this? Here are a pic of...

I haven't had him long enough to neglect him. I sent him the pics in my other thread and he suggested that the lights are too close to the cage and that might have been the cause. I just don't see how that would be possible, it's only a 40w bulb and its not like the bulb itself was on the cage...

I don't think the breeder is willing to help me, he said I insulted him by suggesting he sent me a sick chameleon, which I did receive a sick chameleon but:confused:

Do you think it can wait till morning or should I try to find a emergency vet that takes reptiles? I'm just worried that he might get very expensive sub-standard care at an emergency vet, if I can find one. I'm in CT.

Well I just purchased a chameleon and this guy is not doing well. He arrived on Wednesday and right away I noticed that his bugle at the bass of his tail looked swollen. I wasn't sure so I didn't say anything, the next day I notice a little bit of blood on a branch and something sticking out of...

Are LEDs only for lighting the cage and you would still need to run a UVB bulb? If so that seems like an expensive option. I have a reef aquarium and have made some DIY LED fixtures and there are some uv spectrum diodes but I don't know if its the correct spectrum. They are blindingly bright and...

I though the same thing but wasn't sure if I was just being overly worried. I'm guessing that the blood I found on the branch was from whatever is protruding from his vent since he looks intact everywhere else. I don't know if his dark color is from just having been shipped or from whatever...

Ok I just got this guy in on Wednesday. He is a replacement for another nosy be I received that looked like he might have had a gular edema or something else wrong with him. I noticed there was blood on a branch yesterday and something hanging out of the base of his tail. He is passing his...

Just an update on this, we got our new nosy be yesterday. I felt really bad sending the other back especially since I think he was warming up a little to us and he was really displaying some a great color when I was putting him in his box to go back. The new guy is two months older, twice the...

The zoo med is crap from what I've read, I haven't looked into the exo terra though. The mistking and the aquazamp seem the to be the quality misters that everyone prefers but I've yet to find a side by side comparison of the two. I'm in the market for a mister myself but can't decide between...

My last nosy be would drink from the spray bottle when we would mist. He would run to the front of the cage as soon as he saw us walking up to it.

I went through almost the same senerio with a panther many years ago. I had him in a smaller juvenile cage at the time and my breeder suggested the same thing about the shed in his eye. He told me to put the whole cage in the shower with warmer water and just let it rain on the cage for 10min or...

I can't wait to see what you put together. The in laws have a a couple of maples they took down so branches galore.

For anyone who may be interested I came across this thread that looks similar. https://www.chameleonforums.com/unusual-bumps-52369/ It's sounding more and more like an edema to me, but then again I'm really only guessing. The breeder has agreed to exchange him for another, like I said before he...
