Soft towels to cushion her fall would be good, too. Glad you are seeing signs of progress in her.

I certainly would not wait to get him to a good vet. Not personally familiar with any of these but http://arav.allenpress.com/arav/findavet#stateHeadNY http://www.herpvetconnection.com/newyork.shtml Id all else fails, then forum member Zlew might know of a nearby reptile vet, so you...

Glad the vet saw nothing of obvious concern. One thing that I had not noticed before is that his enclosure, although it is a good size, is on the floor. That's a bad place for it. In nature, chameleons intentionally live higher up than predators. It will benefit him if his enclosure is put...

Sorry your cham is having problems. The reason it is better to cut and paste the questions from here https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ and then add your answers is so that we have all the information needed to give you informed, intelligent replies, rather than guessing at what...

That's kind of funny. They're probably just skittish because they're in a new environment. Mine literally would eat from my fingers because of their voracious appetites.

I absolutely agree with Jannb and Bush baby. No more D3 for the month. An excess of D3 is far worse than a few days without calcium supplements and by feeding the feeder insects high calcium greens, you will make them more nutritious and higher in calcium. The feeders Jannb mentioned are...

I love the name of your handsome cham. That's an awesome background in your Exo Terra terrarium. Where did you get it?

I gave mine supers too, in moderation. They loved them but not any more than they loved Phoenixworms. Most people probably don't realize just how much baby chams can eat. Silkworms should be good for your group, too.

Ditto. A generator if the outage will likely last for days or if it is so cold that the indoor temperature is going to rapidly drop. I use it to run the heat for the house and lighting for my family, rather than just for the chams.

Kind of ironic when you think about it :D

All other issues aside, I would expect a reply in response to my emails. On the off chance that it is a spam-blocking program that has prevented your emails from reaching him or vice versa, a PM would be wise. If there is still no response, then you will definitively know that the breeder...

Welcome to the forum! Sorry your cham is having a problem but as has already been said by sharp229, you've come to a great place for reliable advice. The questions that sharp229 asked are good ones, and filling us in with the answers to the How to Ask for Help questions provides us with a...

Snails are pretty slow growers Here's a good blog entry from Sandrachameleon about raising snails If you aren't in Ca, then you need to be aware of this from Niles Bio

Thanks for keeping us up to date. It is much easier to successfully treat problems when you catch them early.

Honestly, I was hoping that you'd post the answers to the how to ask for help questions because it is easy for one person to miss something important. For the last question there, we do not need to know your town, but knowing what state you're in gives people an idea of the temperatures where...

Sorry your cham is apparently having a problem. I'm sure that he will be appreciative of the larger enclosure he is going to but there are a few changes I would make now, so he doesn't make himself ill before then. It sounds like your cham is possibly getting too hot. Remember that the...

Fantastic! It's always a pleasure to hear about successful recoveries. Thanks for posting the followup :)

She may have choked in part because all of the body's muscles depend on calcium to work properly. That's why the body "steals" calcium from the bones when it isn't receiving enough or absorbing enough. Good thing your dad was there to help her. The Phoenixworms are much softer than...

Yeah, my little K.multi is almost 5 and he can still move pretty darned fast! His kamikaze habit of flinging himself off a hand when you need to move him is not my favorite habit of his, though.

You're very welcome. I found the Exo Terras to be ideal--good airflow, retained humidity nicely and the foam background was great for sticking skewers in as horizontal basking branches. I do want to advise you (and others) of a hidden danger which can land curious little Jackson's in serious...
