Thanks for your thoughts I appreciate all of your kind words. It is really wonderful to have a supportive community of friends I haven't met yet. All of you make this love of chameleons that much more enjoyable. Terri

Well, we tried. He looked like he was getting better this week too. We had had him to the vet several times in the past few months for eye infection, spinal injury (a result of weakening from the infection that could have gone to his spine), and pinworms. We were force feeding him tobacco...

update Urlich has a little motion in his hind legs now. I have him in his baby cage, tuned sideways, so it is 24" long by 12" tall with some vines to climb on. He is being misted, and his temps are a little higher bc that was the advice for a sick cham. I have been forcing his mouth open and...

Ive been concerned about poo lately too, here is what I have learned: dont feed your cham too late in the day. basking after eating helps them digest. dont have any substrate or other things they can accidentally injest. dont feel bugs high in chitin exclusively metabolisms slow down in...

Love the baby panther. He's so cute!!!! The Veiled looks awesomely cranky!

Oh, gosh. Just a month, I think. Not much time, anyway. He's back to being blue and green. The yellow was awesome!

He fell and quit using his back legs. The vet thinks he had an infection (had been treated for an eye infection a few weeks earlier) that went into his spine, and weakened it so he fractured when he fell. It was very sad. He hates me more now than ever... He pooped a big one on sunday...

I love sleeping pictures. His tail is cute all curled up. Mine is a stubby tail, so no curling. Im a little jealous...

Those pictures made me laugh! He's HUGE! and very good looking.

These were the colors he greeted me with today. never seen him red before. It is interesting that his legs and tail are still green--he hasnt regained neurological control, evidently.

Thanks, Donna! I'll calm down and let the dude do his thing :rolleyes:

update Hind legs are moving better, but still pretty uncoordinated. Coloring is better. No poo for 2 weeks despite daily warm showers for 20 min, ambient temps of ~80 degrees, fish oil, pears, and lots of pleading. I have gotten him to eat 2 hornworms this week by sticking their little...

THanks, Dave. Yeah, the Fortaz is via injection. Today is my first attempt at it. THe other 2 meds are PO 2x/day. Im giving him pear baby food, and a 20 min warm shower each day, but still no poop. 2 big sperm plugs, but no poop. Im keeping an eye out for impaction incase the vet was...

well, jeesh. who doesnt?

Last night, I dreamed I was in a dilapidated house that had some sort of monster in it. My dog was lying still at my feet, bleeding. I reached forward and opened the door in front of me, behind which was surely hiding a terrifying beast ready to rend my limbs from my body. On the wall was all...

sleeping chams are funny.

look how pretty she is! She's growing up so fast. I remember when she was a little, green, googly eyed baby!

I've never seen him sleep half on a branch, half on a fake rock. It reminded me of my dog when she sleeps half in her bed, or my kids, when they used to fall asleep while playing. Dude must have been exhausted to wind up in that position!

Shedding is exhausting, I guess.
