Oh, wow! lol I've wondered about that myself since I wear my hair differently sometimes. I'll try to watch for any changes in behavior. I guess in a little while he'll realize you're the same person. Hopefully, anyway. ;)

Do you have any photos?

RIDLEY ATE! :D I haven't seen any poop yet, but Ridley did eat all of the crickets in his cup and I just put in a bunch more in case he's still hungry. I think he'll be fine. :) Thanks a lot for your help!

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I'll see what sort of arrangement I can find. I'll go check out the Reptisun 5.0 this weekend since I've heard good things about it. I'll check on Ridley's status this afternoon and let you know if he's eaten. Thanks for your help thus far. :)

I actually did a search about my bulb on this site because I've been reading that the coily UVB bulbs cause eye issues, and found this: https://www.chameleonforums.com/zoo-med-powersun-lighting-13483/ I'm not saying this makes it okay, but I was hoping that since mine is a lower wattage that...

Feeding, Temperature, and Humidity Information For now I'm only feeding him small-medium (1/2" at most) crickets that are gutloaded on carrot, bell pepper, apple, celery, and bearded dragon pellets. I bought some waxworms recently, and gave Ridley one one day and one the next day, and he...

Try adding the pictures again so people can see. Edit: Nevermind, it didn't load for me at first.

I don't think Ridley has MBD because the vet checked that the other day. She said he has a strong grip and his jaw bone is nice and solid. (etc.) I've tried to keep on top of the calcium thing, because that's my biggest fear. I'm worried because Ridley seemed fine at the vet only two days ago...

He is thin. The vet told me the same thing and I knew it before. It isn't that he's not eating enough, it's that he's not eating at all. I'm trying to get help over here because I can't figure out why he's not eating but not many have replied yet...

So when I went to the vet the other day, the vet did feel Ridley's abdomen to check for a hard mass. She didn't feel anything, indicating both a lack of eggs and constipation (I assume). So why isn't Ridley eating? His color is getting a tad bit gray, but he's still just as active. Just...

Does this often happen when a young chameleon eats something new? And if he doesn't poop, should he still be eating?

Oh sorry, I must've missed that. Yeah, I'll try that. But is there really no other reason they'd act this way?

So I figured I'd move this over here since my thread on general discussion was a bit more generalized. I also tried reading around the forums first but didn't find exactly what I needed. So I'm still not sure of Ridley's gender. I figured male because of the foot spurs (discussed on the other...

I'm also curious. So dog, cat, and fish food are bad to include in a gutload. How about bearded dragon food? A while back I wrongly purchased beardie kibble for my beardie (which she never ate) and I found that the crickets would eat it. (it's also nice because it's dry and doesn't go back) I've...

Can you not ask the store/provider about it? Do you think they'd know what they are? EDIT: Whoops! Disregard. I didn't notice there were more pages! :)

Okay. :) How soon does obvious male coloring come in? Or is it always there? (Ridley is four months right now) I guess I'll assume male for now, but see if anything "unusual" happens. Thanks!

Hi again everyone. :) So I just read the comments about spurs and barring not being indicative of a male... so hmm. Well, I'll post the pictures I took anyway and let you guys have a look? These pictures aren't that great (I'm no photographer), but the shadows show that there is SOMETHING...

Can you explain to me what "barring" is? I noticed it somewhere else on the forum, and I assume that's the skin pattern. So that means males and females have different patterns too? Fascinating. :) I'll get a picture asap.

I did. :) You must've been there, or heard about it. Yeah, wish I'd known that was too young... "he" seems to be okay, though. Hopefully I can continue to keep him that way! But, until I can get those photos for everyone to look at, what does cause a chameleon to suddenly not eat or bask...

I've heard that Hydrogen Peroxide is okay to use, too. Someone more experienced might need to back me up, though. I don't know about the tongue, though. :( Hope that turns out okay.
