Looks good weight but might have some edema. Could you fill out the form? https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

Spring is in the air after 6 months of hibernation. Even though winter is going to hit again... Just look how skinny, Lola has a center line down the entire length of his tail and all of his hip bones are showing. All he has left is cheeky fat.

"but since I only have one chameleon" Mum used to base half the garden on what the beardies would eat. We had two beardies...

Another idea is just soaking it in starsan if its good enough for beer and silk worms, it cant hurt.

There is an ingredient list so you just go through and ask yourself "what is retinol acetate". Other suppliers list the raw and what it is supplying (retinol acetate vit A). The issue of feeding "meat" to lizards that mostly eat insects, is their organs cant process it well. Take a beardy...

Insects show higher feed conversion efficiency (i.e. a measure of the animal's efficiency in converting feed mass into body mass) in comparison with mammalian livestock. Van Huis et al. [11] even stated the feed conversion of house cricket (A. domestica) to be twice that of chickens, 4 times...

Bad husbantry normally results in misses from the flick bone weakening or deforming. Chams can not "recalibrate" and from then on forever miss. But they atleast try to hit, they dont stop using it. If its injured, and permanently injured, it will turn into a iggy/beardy tongue and just stick...

This is what i do. Lights and mister is on a timer, mister has enough water to last two week. Cham on gets big feedings on the weekend and a snack or two during the week. So if im gone for a week i give him a big feeding, then load up a run (well i use a tub with sticks across it) with lots...

Typically if they dont recognize the glass or see themselves, they will show stressed colors (cuz now there is another chameleon close by in the tank) or they will constantly rub their nose because they can not understand why they can not get past the invisible forcefield. However clawing at...

Im going to go out on a limb here and assume Kiwi is a veiled chameleon. They are unique in that right before they are full grown, they go through TVS. Teenage Veiled Syndrome. They hate you and the world, and this will last for about two sheds. Then they will be adults and no longer cricket...

Ok lets say worse case, the feeder (or sharp stick etc) created a puncture. Its still a lizard, and 99% of the time they will not get an infection vs us mammals that have skin pores and are moist and delish with lots of proteins/oil/dandriff for the bacteria to eat, etc. So i would just...

The skin will get a dark spot from any abrasion, no matter how small. It could not be a bruise and not be a bite. It might even be when the cham nabs a feeder and hits a stick abit while chewing. Do you see anything but a dark spot? Like a scab or a puncture etc?

There is an older video of pet jacksons jumping off 4-6ft plants for fun. They just climp up, jump into the leaves below, and then do it again.

Good news bad news Good news, unlike crickets etc, the sticks are 100% herbivores and will not nom nom the chameleon(or each other) if they run out of food Bad news is they may damage the plants in the cage too much.

LOL mini soaker hoses.

Here is your typical b complex. obviously you are not giving a whole pill to a cham. And then we go with good ole herptvite I dont know if you need more than this, but its got all the usual suspects covered.

I just have one nozzle in my dripper. it fills up during the misting, and then drips for another half hour or so. I tried the little/big dripper, but they were a hair trigger and changed based on how full they were. Dripped too much when full, and didnt empty if adjusted for normal drip when...

Yes thats why i said B complex. The Big players are B6 and B12, but i know B1 is used to. And im not sure which B is used for shedding, the Complex is a cheat code for individuals that are known to end up with stuck sheds even with perfect humidity. I only have the pills so i just crush them...

Calcium(its not just for bones, its what the muscles use to contract) Vitamin D Vitamin B complex So if you want a bit of a booster, you can crush up a people vitamin B complex and powder the feeders. Since B is water soluble, its impossible to give too much. A B boost also helps with...
