Thanks for the responses. When I say battling MBD, I mean that he still looks like he is recovering. He eats perfectly on his own, I see him go straight for the water dripper every morning, his poop is looking good and his legs are healing themeselves. Boy what a little grump he has turned...

My little trooper, Buddy, is on the slow road to recovery from MBD. He has been battling MBD for about three months now and is working on regaining his strength. During the first month and a half I had him before MBD, he had shed twice completely. Ever since becoming sick he hasn't shed at...

About six months ago, my mom bought my twelve-year-old sister a leopard gecko. The only time the gecko's cage was cleaned in that time was on the two occasions I cleaned it out myself. Every time I go to my mom's house I cringe at the sight of the cage. The poor little guy is always covered...

I work as a secretary for Kokoro Dinosaurs. We rent out realistic robotic dinosaurs to museums. It is a very interesting job and I truly enjoy it. Check out our Jackson's Chameleon (it's over 9' long). Our Veiled Chameleon photo opportunity is so cool and that's my office manager in the...

LLL Reptile sells Australian Whites Tree Frogs for $19.99 and Indonesian Whites Tree Frogs for $16.99.

Marc10edora, do you have any photos of your cage all setup and ready to go for a chameleon? I love your DIY post. What a wonderful technique and so realistic.

Thanks to everyone for not ripping me a new ***hole over the money thing like I expected. I am doing my best. Anywho, the Baytril was for the puffy eye I had originally taken Buddy to the vet for. One day I came home and his eye was puffy and would not go down. The vet said he had MBD, so I...

My avatar is a picture of Buddy just days after getting him. Will take some more recent pictures tonight.

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot afford to take care of my sick chameleon. He is about 4-5 months old and has MBD. His back leg may either be broken or pulled out of the socket. I already took him to the vet for the MBD, but the leg thing happened that same day when I brought him...

Since I know that the MBD is my fault for not educating myself enough about chameleons, I feel it is my responsibility to help him recover. The little guy was an impulse gift from my boyfriend and neither of us knew what it would take to properly care for him. We didn't have anything right in...

How have you been treating the MBD, and how has it progressed? Are you using a current UV tube that's been purchased in the last 6-8mo? I have been treating the MBD with NeoCal once everyday as prescribed by my vet, a brand new ReptiGlo 5.0 bulb, and I bought silkworms that are easier to eat...

Okay, so my chameleon who has MBD has a back leg that is not looking so good. After taking him to the vet for his MBD, I put him back in his cage. He climbed up the screen a few inches and fell to the bottom. Immediately afterwards, his back right leg was spinning around in the socket like...

I hope your little guy gets better My little cham, Buddy, is still getting over a case of MBD. Before I first started his treatment with calcium, he had lost all tongue function. Sadly, I had to force feed him in order to keep something in his stomach. It has now been about a month since I...

This is my kid Smiley. I got him as a baby about a year and a half ago. Love my little devil as much as he loves to whip and bite.

I am still having tongue problems with Buddy. Ever since he became sick, his tongue has been sticking out like a pug. The tip of his tongue is always exposed and therefore is dry and has a blackish color to it. Last night Buddy literally just let his tongue hang out from his mouth, but then...

Buddy has been on a stick medication schedule since Wednesday of last week. He is getting used to having things dropped into his mouth and eyes now. His tongue is still a bit swollen, so I am still having to force feed him and eye drop water. I'm afraid that if I try to let him eat on his own...

My Buddy is doing better now. He is looking stronger each passing day and a real trooper. I was wondering though, will he have problems in the future from his MBD and bowed legs? I'm not sure what to expect later on down the line for my little guy. Anyone else with a MBD survivor?

I printed out the recipe for Bug Juice and it says to use Ensure Plus, Pedialyte and raw egg yoke. Do I use all three at once or just one?

I'm not sure exactly how to schedule his supplements. Can you help so that I get it just right? I really can't afford to make anymore mistakes with this poor little soul. Also, should I still supplement if he is getting calcium through his medication?

I forgot to mention that Buddy is now basking under a ReptiSun 5.0 tube lighting, instead of that other stupid bulb.
