You're welcome. I'm glad to be able to help. I wish I could tell you the exact deficiency and exactly how to correct it but nutrition is all about balance. If you give too much of 1 nutrient, it may completely inactivate another. The safest treatment is to switch the supplements to ones...

Do you dust her feeders with a multivitamin powder 2x a month? If not, it would be a worthwhile addition to her supplement schedule. Here is the forum's Veiled caresheet, which has some more good care info for Veiled cham keepershttps://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

You're very welcome. :) Hopefully, changing the supplements gets him back to zapping his prey. Keep up the good work with the gutloading. It will certainly benefit him. I've been using Zoomed ReptiCalcium without D3 and the one with D3.

This can happen when shed skin sticks instead of falling off. Warm water mistings can help him to get the skin off. When it doesn't , then more stubborn skin requires wetting it with olive oil and helping get the skin off. What happens is the stuck skin cuts off the blood flow and makes the...

I would remove the Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate now, so he can continue to adjust to his new enclosure. Cham's don't like changes. Your best bet is to be sure that you follow the temperature, humidity and feeding guidelines that you will find here...

It depends on whether it's just plain dirt or if it has sticks or rocks or is actually coconut husks, moss or some other kind of substrate. It is always good to copy and paste the questions from here , then add all your answers https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ That way...

Lazy Boy meant to provide this link to the Questions you should copy and paste, then add all your answers to. https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ Pictures are also helpful. You can either add them to your post or you can include the URLs to the pages online where your pictures...

Does your chameleon have a basking light to allow him to warm himself and digest his food? Does he have a dripper and is he misted regularly? Is his environment humid enough? Did you use the same exact supplements for your older chams or just the same number of times per week...

Based on what you've posted, I strongly believe your cham's tongue problems are being caused by his supplements. I also doubt that there would be any benefit to your cham whatsoever by reducing his calcium intake at all. Believe it or not, elevated blood calcium levels can be caused by...

The 2 things I'm aware of that cause a cham's tongue to not stick to bugs are 1) Too little water. Even mild dehydration can affect the stickability 2) Excessive supplement dust on the feeders The cause of the dehydration should be found and corrected. Is the enclosure too hot? Change to...

LLLReptile carries Reptivite without D3. Kinyonga, are you sure that there actually is a blood test to determine vitamin A levels? IIRC, the last things I read about it was that a determination of vitamin a levels could only be made via liver biopsy.

The fact is bearded dragons, iguanas and chameleons all have very different requirements nutritionally, so a blanket statement like that on a supplement bottle is best ignored. She sure looks like she has a problem and since it's in the area of the kidneys, they could be the problem but I...

Without knowing more details, it would just be guesswork. If he wasn't getting enough water all week, then it could be severe dehydration. Your very best bet is to get him to a vet ASAP. I hope the poor guy recovers.

What a lucky cham to be able to see Dr Stahl. Your cham is lucky to have you as a concerned cham caretaker, too. Obviously, he was heading down a bad path, so it's a good thing you got him treated when you did. Meloxicam can be hard on kidneys, so just be sure to give your cham plenty of...

Oh, I'm so sad for you :( Sorry he didn't pull through.

At least your poor cham only needs 3 days of the anti-inflammatory. I'd hazard a guess that with chameleons vets probably treat far more husbandry-based problems than incidental ones. Whne you peruse the health forums long enough, you see it here, too. Very often, the poor chamkeeper is...

The OP had already tried to free it up after softening it with warm water, to no avail. I still can't forget the post about the poor cham whose owner pulled on a sperm plug and caused a serious prolapse. :eek:

Sorry about that---It's no wonder that made no sense to you. I apparently got distracted and thought I had posted this link there https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-metabolic-bone-disease-mbd-looks-like-how-happens-how-fix-95071 Cold? Oh man, you Californians need to visit NY. We'd...

I don't see anything wrong with your very handsome cham. Honestly, if you are carefully follow the guidelines in the forum's Veiled caresheet https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ and tend to any problems that do occur without delay, he should stay healthy. Nutrition is...

Jurgen, you didn't ask a question in your message, so I thought you were aware that it is a sperm plug. Here,https://www.chameleonforums.com/prolapse-125923/index2.html in post #17 are pictures of similar sperm plugs. It isn't poop and it isn't a hemipene.
